Homework Answers
Action potential is developed due to the influx of sodium ions and efflux of potassium ions into the inside and outside of the cell respectively. The efflux of potassium ions alone can not cause the inside of the cell to become more positive. Repolarization refers to make the inside of the cell negative again after the generation of action potential which is caused by the influx of potassium ions and efflux of sodium ions. Answer - A and E.

Which of the following statements about action potentials is incorrect? O a) During an action potential, the efflux of Kions causes the inside of cells to become more positive (depolarized). B) When critical threshold is reached an action potential is triggered C) Voltage gated channels are required to reach critical threshold D) Sodium ions diffuse across the membrane to cause depolariza D U E)Kions continue to efflux after resting membrane is reached to cause repolarization ause

CNCORA 6 of 10 > Action potentials in neurons involve opening and closing of voltage-gated Nat and K ion channels. Place the events of an action potential in order, starting and ending with a cell at its resting membrane potential. Resting state Return to resting state Answer Bank A graded potential brings the membrane to threshold potential. Fast Na+ and slow K* channels are activated. Nat rushes into the cell, causing membrane depolarization. K channels close slowly, resulting in hyperpolarization....

Which statements describe the action potential in cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells)? Depolarization stimulates voltage-gated, slow calcium channels to open. The absolute refractory period can last for about 200 ms. Rapid sodium influx causes the membrane to rapidly depolarize. Repolarization occurs immediately after the initial depolarization.

For each phase of an action potential, indicate the ion channel most responsible for the membrane potential change that occurs during the phase. Action Potential Phases Ion Channels Depolarization phase Repolarization phase Hyperpolarization phase Voltage-gated potassium channels Chemically-gated sodium channels Chemically-gated potassium channels Voltage-gated sodium channels

This time you get into a snail brain neuron that is
completely quiet. The cell doesn't even begin to fire action
potentials when you inject depolarizing current, so you question
yourself if you are actually in a neuron. Nevertheless, you briefly
hyperpolarize thecell, and right after the hyperpolarization stops,
the cell fires a few action potentials that have a quite large
amplitude and then the cell becomes quite again. What could be
going on here? Your traces kind of look...
