PHYSIOEX 9‚ ACTIVITY #3 Review Questions ACTIVITY #1 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? 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? 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? 4. Discuss the relative permeability

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

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

After you click Submit Data‚ the slide will automatically be placed in the biohazardous waste disposal. You answered: 0 elementary bodies 16. Drag the next slide (patient B) to the fluorescent microscope. Count the number of elementary bodies you see through the microscope (recall that elementary bodies stain green)‚ enter the number of elementary bodies in the field

results compare with your prediction? Your answer: If extracellular K+ is increased then the intracellular K+ will decrease. Fewer intracellular K+ ions would result in the membrane potential being less negative. This is what I predicted to happen. 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? Your answer: There are less sodium leak channels than potassium leak channels‚ and more of the potassium channels are open. 4. Discuss

MGMT 524 Activity 9.2 Capstone Case Study Henry Clements Car Rental Agency Henry Clements is a friend of yours who has a car rental agency in a major metropolitan area. Although his is an independent company‚ Henry works closely with three other independent companies in the metro area. They share information and each week they forecast the number of cars each will need the following week. Then‚ if needed‚ they will transfer cars between locations on Sunday when none of the agencies are open

through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Since the chemical formula for urea is (NH2)2CO and its molecular weight is about 60. It will not diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane because it does not ionize. 3. Describe the results of the attempts to diffuse glucose and albumin through the 200 MWCO membrane. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Glucose will diffuse through the 200 MWCO membrane because its MW is 180. The MW of the protein

PhysioEX notes Autorhythmicity- heart’s ability to trigger its own contractions Phase O- a lot like depolarization in neuronal action potentials. Sodium channels open‚ increase of sodium INTO cell. Phase 1- sodium channels close‚ potassium channels close‚ decrease in potassium and sodium. Calcium channels open‚ increase of calcium into cell. Phase 2- Plateau phase‚ membrane still depolarized (contract). Potassium channels closed‚ L-type calcium channels stay open. Lasts 0.2 seconds/200
