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

Danielle Rollins Cardiovascular Physiology Activity 1 1) Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. The ventricular contraction is when the blood is sent through the whole body as opposed to the atrial contraction that sends the blood to the heart and lungs. 2) Explain why the amplitude of the wave did not change when you increased the frequency of the stimulation. (Hint: relate your response to the refractory period of the cardiac action

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

ACTIVITY 5 Exploring Various Breathing Patterns You will establish the baseline respiratory values in the first part of this experiment. 1. If the grid in the data control unit is not empty‚ click Clear Table to discard all previous data. 2. Adjust the radius of the airways to 5.00 mm by clicking the appropriate button next to the Radius window. Now‚ read through steps 3–5 before attempting to execute them. 3. Click Start‚ and notice that it changes to Stop to allow you to stop the respiration. Watch

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

The temperature of the solutions and the difference in concentration of the ion or molecule between the sides of the membrane 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse 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
