The Nervous System: Membrane Potential 1. Record the intracellular and extracellular concentrations of the following ions (mM/L): Intracellular Extracellular Sodium (Na+) Potassium (K+) Chloride (Cl–) 2. Excitable cells‚ like neurons‚ are more permeable to ___________ than to ___________. 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 K+ channels

The Action Potential An action potential‚ also called a spike‚ nerve impulse‚ and discharge‚ is the rapid reversal of charge of the cell membrane. These changes in charge occur within milliseconds‚ meaning the action potential travels very quickly down the axon in order to convey information over long distances. This transfer of information occurs within six phases and requires the presence of multiple pumps and channels embedded in the membrane to control ion concentration. Phase 1: The Resting

allow cell phones to be sold without pre-market testing. The rationale‚ known as the “low power exclusion‚” distinguished cell phones from dangerous microwave ovens based on the amount of power used to push the microwaves. At that time‚ the only health effect seen from microwaves involved high power strong enough to heat human tissue. The pressure worked‚ and cell phones were exempted from any type of regulatory oversight‚ an exemption that continues today. An eager public grabbed up the cell phones

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

Seeding cells into needled felt scaffolds for tissue engineering applications SUMMARY: Tissue engineering methods are under development that will enable the repair or replacement of a variety of tissues‚ including articular cartilage and bone. To engineer functional tissue it is necessary that scaffolds initially be seeded with a large number of cells distributed evenly throughout the scaffold structure. It previously has been shown that‚ compared to static seeding conditions‚ seeding scaffolds

EVALUATION OF NEWLY RECOMMENDED SWEET POTATO VARIETIES UNDER COCONUT BY NELSIE MODINA FERNANDEZ Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield performance of different sweet potato varieties grown under coconut‚ and to determine which variety of sweet potato would perform best under coconut. Among the agronomic characteristics measured‚ only herbage yield differed significantly among sweet potato varieties and was lowest in PSB-Sp 16. Based on ocular observation‚ this might

Water Shortage or Water Misuse The United States of America is known for her extreme overuse of everything. Americans see something they want and they simply take it. It was true when the young country pushed westward. The Native Americans were already there‚ but that mattered not; it was wanted‚ so it was taken. It is still true today. Americans as a people see what they want and they take it with very little regard to who had it first or where more might come from. Water is one of those
