ACTIVITY 1: THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? When the diffusion is greater on one side‚ the other side will slow down. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your predictions? There are two potassium’s for every sodium so the increase of potassium will make it more

Physiology Assignment Physiology Assignment Short term responses One short term response when playing basketball is when your face starts to go red‚ this happens because the body gets too hot and it tries to cool the body down by bringing blood to the surface of the skin to let some heat out and the skin also produces sweat to let out heat‚ therefore the skin surface goes red. Another short term response to physical activity is that your breathing rate and heart rate increases‚ the reason
