    surface. 19. If the threshold potential is surpassed‚ the full peak of the action potential is always reached. 20. The magnitude of the action potential peaks when the sodium channels close. 21. The difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a membrane is called the membrane potential. 22. In depolarization the membrane potential moves toward zero‚ whereas in hyperpolarization the membrane potential moves away from zero. 27. The action potential is called an all-or-none response

    Nabaraj Parajuli 5/8/14 -Be able to define upaya and explain its importance to Mahayana Buddhism. Explain how Mahayana Buddhism is itself an example of upaya. Explain how the Chinese belief in “graded revelation” is upaya. Mahayana Buddhism is a clear and vivid interpretation of Buddhism. Upaya‚ in Sanskrit‚ means skillful means or method. It can refer to any activity‚ skill‚ experience or practice that helps someone toward the realization of enlightenment. Upaya can mean anything. For example

    and/or from the CNS and visceral organs or structures of the body periphery (Marieb & Mitchell‚ 2009). In this experiment we will work with a nerve The action potential we will see on this experiment reflects the cumulative action potentials of all the neurons in the nerve‚ called a compound nerve action potential. Although an action potential follows the all-or none law within a single neuron‚ it does not necessarily follows the all-or-none law within an entire nerve. When you electrically stimulate

    Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Depolarization has to do with surfaces becoming more negative or positive and reaches a certain point called a threshold. When the threshold is reached‚ an action potential is initiated. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? The threshold voltage in Activity 1 was 3.0. 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes

    Impulse • Investigate what kinds of stimuli stimulate action potential. II. Activity 8: Nerve Conduction Velocity • Determine and compare the conduction velocities of different types of nerves. B. Introduction I. Activity 1-4: Eliciting a Nerve Impulse • In this experiment‚ we will be investigating what stimulates action potential on the nerve being tested on the oscillator. The factors that helped determine action potential are voltage‚ single stimulus‚ Hydrochloric acid‚ sodium chloride

    gradient across the membrane is reduced. This results in depolarization where cells generate an action potential. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open in response to depolarization and close by inactivation for a refractory period and remain closed until repolarization. In this new setting‚ less K+ leaks out of the intracellular space and the cell is unable to return to its resting membrane potential (ie. The cell stays slightly depolarized) as the voltage-gated Na+ channels have closed. This means that

    of all the bioelectric potentials. With these bioelectric potentials they produce ionic voltages produced by the coordination of electrochemical activity within numerous cells. When the cells are in line the charges tend to migrate through the body fluids towards the still unexcited cell area. As the charge migrates it constitutes an electrical current bringing an outcome that setups the potentials between various parts of the body including the external surface. The potential differences

    purpose for the students of the Energy of a Tossed Ball Lab involved learning how to measure the change in kinetic and potential energies as a ball moves in free fall. Since there is no frictional forces working on the ball the total energy will remain constant and the students will see how the total energy of the ball changes during free fall. HYPOTHESIS: 1. The ball has potential energy while momentarily at rest at the top of the path. 2. The ball contains kinetic energy while in motion near

    Energy exists in many forms. Examples Mechanical energy which is either in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy or a combination of the both‚ electrical energy‚ light energy‚ thermal energy‚ nuclear energy and sound energy etc. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. It is further classified into gravitational potential energy (GPE) and elastic potential energy (EPE). GPE is by virtue of height of a body from a reference level‚ it can be expressed

    if ether will have an effect on eliciting an action potential which I believe that it will make it difficult. Curare is a well known plant extract that South American Indians used to paralyze their pray. It blocks synaptic transmission by preventing the flow of neural impulses from neuron to neuron (Laboratory Manual). I believe that the effect of curare eliciting an action potential will lead to curare not being able to act on an action potential because it will block and slow down the stimulation
