    1. a. The action potential changes the membrane potential from -70 mV (resting) to +30 mV and back again to the resting membrane potential. b. This results from a change in membrane permeability first to Na then to K due to the opening of what type of ion channels? Voltage gated channels 2. a. Where is the density of voltage-gated Na+ channels the greatest? Axon hillock b. What areas of the neuron generate signals that open these voltage-gated channels? Dendrites and the cell body c.

    by using the application of membrane have become highly demand in various industries. In this newly separation process ‚ the membrane function as a semi-permeable barrier and the separation process occur by the membrane controlling the rate of movement of various molecules between two liquid phases ‚ two gas phases or a mixture of a gas phase and liquid phase. In industries‚ many companies have high demand on both quality and quantity of water for production. Membrane process can be used to separate

    TRANSPORT IN MAMMALS Blood is a connective tissue and every connective tissue consists of cell‚ ground substance or matrix and fibres. For blood‚ it has cells‚ matrix in the form of plasma and fibres in the form of fibrin. In transportation‚ the surface area to the volume ratio of organisms contributes to the rate of movement of materials. For example in Hydra‚ and flat worms‚ the ratio is so high so simple diffusion can allow substances to reach all tissues easily. If the ratio is low‚ in mechanisms

    facilitated teachings within our school. This is when our Principal asks SGA members to go to classrooms all across the campus and explain new programs to our peers. This particular teaching was for something called the HERO program‚ a positive reinforcement program. Where students earn "points" for positive behaviors and can then use them to attend certain events and enjoy certain privileges. The day of the teaching‚ I got my room assignment‚ a room number that I did not recognize. Eventually‚ I found the

    Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

    Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen

    Water Transport The movement of plants from water to land has necessitated the development of internal mechanisms to supply all the parts of the plant with water. As discussed in Plant Classification‚ Vasular Tissues ‚ tracheophytes (including virtually all terrestrial plants except for mosses and liverworts)‚ have developed complex vascular systems that move nutrients and water throughout the plant body through "tubes" of conductive cells. The vascular tissues of these plants are called xylem
