In excitation-contraction coupling‚ the transverse tubules function to conduct an action potential into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. During muscle contraction‚ the I band shortens or narrows What event causes troponin to regain its original shape in muscle relaxation? return of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum A storage form

Nerve Impulses ACTIVITY 1 The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. If the extracellular K+ increases then the concentration of intracellular K+ will decrease causing a decrease in the steepness of the concentration gradient and fewer K+ ions would be drawn out. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did

Impulses Activity 1: The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Increasing the extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because when K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane they are leaving behind a net negative charge. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. Potassium

membrane potential when extracellular K+ concentration is increased? -The resting membrane potential will become more positive when K+ concentration is increased. 2. Explain why the resting membrane potential had the same value in the cell body and in the axon. -The resting membrane potential has the same value in the cell body and the axon because the typical resting membrane potential is the same throughout the entire neuron. 3. Describe what would happen to the resting membrane potential if the

Assignment Due: Week 4 Eliciting a Nerve Impulse Activity 1: Electrical Stimulation 1. Do you see any kind of response on the oscilloscope screen? No 2. What was the threshold voltage‚ or the voltage at which you first saw an action potential? The threshold voltage is at 3.0 V. 3. How does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? There was a slight increase. 4. What reason can you give for the change? The increase in voltage. 5. Record

Explain why increasing extracellular K_ reduces the net diffusion of K_ out of the neuron through the K_ leak channels. Increasing the extracellular potassium reduces the concentration gradient‚ and less potassium diffuses out of the neuron and into the cell. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K_ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with

event an electrical signal is propagated through the length of the axon of a motor nerve. This electrical signal‚ also propagated through ion channels‚ causes the opening of calcium ion channels. These calcium ion channels ‚ guided by the membrane potential‚allow calcium ions to diffuse into the axon terminal of the motor neuron. As more calcium ions travel into the axon of the motor neuron‚ synaptic vesicles begin to form around acetylcholine and leave the axon of the motor neuron‚ entering the synaptic

This intercellular signaling allows neurons to form complex interconnected circuits‚ allowing the nervous system to moderate other systems within the body. When an action potential of a pre-synaptic neuron reaches the axon terminal‚ voltage-gated calcium channels are open. This allows calcium ions to enter the terminal. The calcium instigates vesicles containing neurotransmitters to bind with the cell membrane‚ releasing
