Increase in [K*]out [Select] B. Increase in [Na]out [Select] C. Increase in Na+ permeability [Select] D. Adding TTX [Select] E. Adding dinitrophenol (a metabolic poison) [ Select]
Any change in a neuron's membrane potential that moves the membrane potential to a value more negative than the resting potential (e.g. -120mv) is: a. Hypopolarization b. Depolarization c. An action potential d. HyperpolarizationNOTE: A IS INCORRECT
This graph shows the relative voltage of a neuron's cytoplasm near the plasma membrane relative to the zone outside the membrane. A similar graph could be drawn for a skeletal muscle cell. Which statement about this graph is NOT RIGHT? A. During "A" there are more K+ inside the cell than outside the cell B. Between D and E the sodium potassium pump is getting ions to their original positions C. During "C" Chloride ions (Cl-) are rushing inside the cell D. During "B" Na+ are rushing inside the cell
During an action potential, the inside of the cell membrane becomes more positive than the outside. Why does this happen? a. During depolarization, the sodium ions rush in and the potassium ions have not begun rushing out, making the inside more positive. b. During depolarization, the sodium ions rush in and the potassium ions have not begun rushing out, making the outside more positive. c. During depolarization, the potassium ions rush in and the sodium ions have begun rushing out, making the inside more positive. d. During depolarization, the sodium ions rush in and the potassium ions have begun rushing out, making the outside more positive.
1) A 100-um diameter nerve axon has the following properties: rm = 2.5 x 104 ohm x cm, ri = 1 x 105 ohm/cm, r0 = 0, cm = 3 x 10-8 F/cm. The permeability to Cl- is very high and Cl- ions are at resting potential Vm. A steady inward current is injected into the axon resulting in a Vm of -110 mV at the site of current injection. If the Vm 3 mm from the site of injection is -94.5 mV, what is the resting Vm?
If the Cl- concentrations inside and outside of a neuron are 100 and 10 mM, respectively and the membrane potential is 30 mV, what would be the driving force on Cl- ions?

An RMP of –60 mV indicates that there are more positive ions inside the axon than an RMP of –70 mV. c. A resting membrane potential (RMP) of –90 mV indicates the there are more positive ions inside the axon than an RMP of –70 mV. d.

A neuron with a resting membrane potential of -75 mV receives multiple inputs giving rise to the following post-synaptic potentials: -15 mV, 20 mV, -5 mV, 7 mV, and 22 mV. The threshold is -50 mV. What will be the outcome? An action potential (AP) will be generated because there are more positive than negative inputs а. b. No action potential because the presence of a single IPSP is sufficient to prevent an AP О с. An action potential (AP) will be generated because the sum exceeds the threshold O d. An action potential (AP) will be generated because the sum of inputs is a positive value Ое. No action potential (AP) will be generated because the sum of inputs is below the threshold
