Review Sheet Exercise 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? They require different things. Action potential requires depolarization and repolarization. Depolarization doesn’t require anything. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? 3.0V 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes in the nerve? The action potential

Physiology Exercise 3 Activity 1 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Your answer: By increasing the extrecellular K+ the net diffiusion of K+ out the neuron through the eak channels is reduced. This is caused by the flow of ions following the concentration gradient of traveling from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration. The higher concentration gradient would result in a reduced diffusions

Review Sheet Results (1) 1. List the hematocrits for the healthy male (sample 1) and female (sample 2) living in Boston (at sea level) and indicate whether they are normal or whether they indicate anemia or polycythemia. 1. The hematocrit value for the healthy male: 48 2. The hematocrit value for the healthy female: 44 Both values are normal because they are between the normal ranges: for males between 42-52% and for females between 42-47%. 2. Describe the difference between the hematocrits
