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

Understanding ion permeability is vital to knowing how it establishes a membrane potential‚ and how it eventually leads to the contraction of muscle cells. This was done using crayfish tail muscles. Lateral and medial tail muscles from the tail of a crayfish were excised. These muscles were then placed into solutions with different types of ion concentrations. Usage of different ion concentrations was necessary in practicing how to measure resting membrane potentials accurately. Measurements with

effect of variation in temperature on the permeability of cell membranes using fresh beetroot Aims In this investigation‚ you will subject fresh‚ washed beetroot discs to different temperatures to investigate the effect of temperature on the permeability of the plasma membrane. Overview The beetroot discs will be placed in distilled water at different temperatures. You will compare the intensity of the beetroot pigment that has leaked out from the cells subjectively and possibly objectively using

Under these conditions‚ does the fluid flow through the nephron? >>No! No urine was collected which indicates no fluid flows through the nephron. 3. What is the glomerular filtration rate? >>The glomerular filtration rate is 0 which means the glomeruli are not carrying out any filtration task. 4. How does it compare to your baseline data‚ and why? >>The glomerular filtration rate in baseline data is 124.99 which indicate functional glomeruli. The data support

1 Experiment Membrane Transport Objectives ► Referring to energy‚ what two ways can substances enter a cell? What is active transport? What is passive transport? How is osmosis related to diffusion? How can we demonstrate active transport? How can we demonstrate Brownian movement? How can we demonstrate diffusion (2 ways)? How can we demonstrate osmosis (3 ways)? In terms of relationships between substances‚ how can we define “hypertonic”‚ “isotonic”‚ and “hypotonic”? What is the relationship

Solubility‚ Crystallization and Melting Point Determination Post-Lab Discussion Guidelines: Part 2A and 2C: Draw tables (as in textbook) showing which combinations were soluble/miscible and which were insoluble/immiscible. Explain why this is so. Why are certain chemicals soluble/miscible when others are not? Part 3A: Calculate % recovery (this is not the same as % yield – see handout from the first day of lab if you’re confused)‚ and determine melting point of your product. Discuss % recovery

typical plant cell structure. Hypothesis: An increase in temperature will damage and denature the plasma membrane and cause the cytoplasm and other substances contained within the membrane to leak out. Introduction: The purpose of a cell membrane is to control the transport of substances moving into and out of a cell. The membrane is an extremely thin layer (8 to 10 manometers (nm)) thick‚ which is partially permeable. It consists mostly of lipids and proteins. The lipids found in cell membranes
