    cell is at rest it has a resting potential of -90mV.  The K+ is all located inside the cell‚ the Na+ is located outside  of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum.  All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the  muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine  binds to a receptor on the muscle cell membrane‚ it signals the sodium

    PHYSIO-EX 9.0 Activity 1‚ the simulation showed you how the resting membrane potential depends on the concentration of K+ and Na+ in the ECF. Some data were generated while measuring the resting membrane potential using a microelectrode that was positions alternatively in the ECF and the ICF. You recorded the data in Chart 1 on page 35. Use the data to produce a Graph that will clearly show how the effects ion the resting membrane potential when the ECF concentration of K+ is high and when the ECF

    The Nervous System: Membrane Potential 1. Record the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of the following ions (mM/L): | Intracellular | Extracellular | Sodium (Na+) | 15 | 150 | Potassium (K+) | 150 | 5 | Chloride (Cl–) | 10 | 125 | 2. Excitable cells‚ like neurons‚ are more permeable to K+ than to Na+. 3. How would the following alterations affect the membrane permeability to K+? Use arrows to indicate the change in permeability. a. An increase in the number of passive

    increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the 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

    Computer Simulation of Membrane Potential Measurements INTRODUCTION “MEMPOT”© is an interactive graphical simulation program that is designed to show how cell membrane potentials are measured with microelectrodes in the laboratory situation. The simulation shows how the membrane potential depends on the external potassium‚ [K+]o and external sodium‚ [Na+]o concentrations and the relative permeability of the membrane to these ions. The program simulates membrane potential measurements in any excitable

    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 increases. 4. How did the action potential generated with the unheated rod compare to the that

    terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Action potential is a quick depolarization followed by a repolarization. Depolarization is a one way trip. It also takes a substantial depolarization to cause an action potential. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? 3.0 V 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes in the nerve? there was a slight increase 4. How did the action potential generated with the unheated rod
