Suppose that in a certain neuron, negatively charged protein molecules found in the intracellular compartment were suddenly able to diffuse through the cell membrane freely. What would be the …

Receptor binding results in many of these IPSPs and EPSPs occurring every second, and the acute action of these lead to fluctuations in the intracellular resting potential. If enough EPSPs occur to …

The voltage-gated Na* channels open to restore Vm to the resting potential after the action potent peak. The voltage-gated Na channels are open when Vm is rapidly increasing during the action potenti …

Consider the following three diagrams of a nerve cell membrane. They show resting potential, depolarization, and hyperpolarization. Figure out which one is which, then draw them in the order …

Please explain what the resting membrane potential is and its value. Make sure you include all structures involved in the creation and maintenance of the resting membrane potential. Explanation …

The equilibrium potential for ion X+ is -60 mV, and the equilibrium potential for ion Y+ is -20 mV. Which item best represents the forces and fluxes for a membrane potential of +40 mV? Consider the …

Why is the resting membrane potential negative? Shouldn't it be positive as cells move in and out positive ions What happens to the membrane potential inside and outside of the cell when Na+ …

Both B & C What is the difference between the membrane potential in a normal cell and an excitable cell? An intravenous injection of potassium can cause death within a minute. From what you have …

After the depolarisation phase of an action potential, the resting potential is restored by ______. Question 15 options: A) the opening of voltage-gated potassium channels and the closing or …
