Neurophysiology of 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

Renal disease case study This case relates to renal disease; therefore~ purposefully look into the medication use and vocabulary as they relate to renal patients. Vocabulary: Before attempting to work the case study‚ define each of the vocabulary words. Although the words may have several subheadings‚ it will give you a place to begin your inquiry. When reviewing the vocabulary words‚ you might want to ask several questions: who‚ what‚ where‚ when‚ why and how. This should give you a much broader

Renal tumors (neoplasms) are abnormal tissue formation on or around the kidney (Nogueras‚ Thomas‚ & Porter‚ 2015). Renal tumors may alter renal function. The most common malignant renal tumors are renal cell carcinomas‚ which originates in the renal cortex. Transitional cell carcinomas are the second most common form of renal tumors. Men and older age are at both common risk factors for renal tumors. Other risk factors include: obesity‚ exposure to asbestos‚ cadmium‚ and gasoline‚ the use of phenacetin

Discussion: In this experiment a ketone‚ 9-fluorenone is reduced to and alcohol. The are two possible ways by which this reduction can occur. One is by a catalytic hydrogenation‚ this uses a catalyst such as palladium or nickel‚ hydrogen gas‚ and heat/pressure. This can reduced an alkane to alkene. This catalytic process is preferred in industrial practices because the cost is low in the long run and more importantly there is little to no waste expense. However‚ hydrogen gas is dangerous due to
