potential in the resting neuron. There are less leakage sodium channels than leakage potassium channels‚ and more of the potassium channels are open. 4. Discuss the relative permeability of the membrane to Na+ and K+ in a resting neuron. Membrane permeability to sodium is very low because there are only a few sodium leakage channels. Sodium ions do slowly diffuse inward‚ down their concentration gradient. Left unchecked‚ such inward leakage of sodium would eventually destroy the resting membrane

Persistent or sustained increase in prices inflation. Gov therefore aim for a low and

hydraulic fluid’s resistance to flow. It is a hydraulic fluid’s most important characteristic and has a significant impact on the operation of the system. When a hydraulic oil is too thin (low viscosity)‚ it does not seal sufficiently. This leads to leakage and wear of parts. When a hydraulic oil is too thick (high viscosity)‚ the fluid will be more difficult to pump through the system and may reduce operating efficiency. All hydraulic fluids must be able to retain optimum viscosity during operation

Arzell J. English 1010 December 8‚ 2010 Where will your trash go‚ when the landfills are full? Many people have heard about landfills‚ but hardly anyone knows a lot about what effect it have on society. Most people toss their garbage into dumpsters and litter on the streets in carelessness. People hauled their used furniture‚ bikes‚ old toys‚ and battered car parts to junkyards and dumpsters without a clue of where it goes and what happens to it. When people drop their trash on the street

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. Electromagnets are widely used as components of other electrical devices‚ such as motors‚ generators‚ relays‚ loudspeakers‚ hard disks‚ MRI machines‚ scientific instruments‚ and magnetic separation equipment‚ as well as being employed as industrial lifting electromagnets for picking up and moving heavy iron objects like scrap iron.
