“MEMPOT”© – 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

Overview Of Neuron Structural and Functional Properties and Electric Circuit Parameter Models from a Cellular Perspective. Neurons serve the purpose of receiving signals coming from neighbouring neurons; they assimilate these signals‚ and generate nerve pulses. They then conduct and transmit these nerve pulses to other neurons which are capable of receiving them. Neurons are the structural constituents of the brain. Typically‚ neurons are five to six orders of magnitude slower than silicon logic

Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped‚ what cellular processes and membrane functions are going to be affected by the loss of oxygen‚ blood glucose‚ and waste removal? Assuming Joseph’s heart has stopped‚ the mitochondria and aerobic processes will be affected. The mitochondria is known as the powerhouse of the cell where ATP is produced. Oxygen and glucose are the main sources of energy for ATP. The muscle cells‚

the cell membrane‚ and some water does. "But the very rapid movement of water through some cells was not explained by this theory‚" said Agre. Aquaporins selectively conduct water molecules in and out of the cell‚ while preventing the passage of ions and other solutes. Also known as water channels‚ aquaporins are integral membrane pore proteins. Some of them‚ known as aquaglyceroporins‚ also transport other small uncharged solutes‚ such as glycerol‚ CO2‚ ammonia and urea across the membrane‚ depending

What materials need to be exchanged across a cell membrane? Water‚ nutrients‚ waste‚ gasses (O2/CO2)‚ amino acids (to build proteins)‚ sugars (carbos)‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids. 2.) In what way is an organism a protected compartment? Organisms have many layers of cells and material (such as skin) that protect them from the environment.

of Permeable Membranes Introduction This experiment examines cell membrane permeability‚ osmosis and membrane voltages; all of which are important in understanding how cells are affected by their environment. The movement of water across membranes is important for cell volume and thus the volume of extracellular compartments. The mechanisms for solute transport are essential in maintaining cell functions and homeostasis. Furthermore‚ ion transport across membranes generates membrane voltages‚ which
