3. Many neurons contain "delayed K channels". Like voltage-gated Nat channels, these voltage-gated K+ channels open in response to a rise in membrane potential and then undergo inactivation. However, opening of the voltage-gated K channels lags behind opening of the voltage-gated Na channels. a) Why does neuronal function require the voltage-gated K channels to open more slowly than the voltage-gated Na channels? b) Compared to a neuron that lacks voltage-gated K channels, what differences would you expect in the shape...
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.

Correct answer is 51.1 mV 4. Magnitude of the revereal potential oreated by nerve cell discharge. A nerve cell (resting potential 75 mv: inside negative) fires when some stimulus affects the nerve cell membrane and causes it to suddenly become highly permeable to Na ions. Depolarization occurs as Na ions rush inside the cell. At the height of this process, enough Na ions are inside the cell to actually make the interior positively charged relative to the exterior; that is,...
Question 4 2 pts During and action potential, sodium (Na+) rushes into the cell causing of the cell. Then sodium channels close and potassium (K+) rushes out of the cell, causing of the cell. However, the potassium overshoots and causes Question 5 2 pts During the refractory period, the pumps Na+ ions out of the cell and K+ions into the cell, re-establishing the resting membrane potential and concentration gradient.
