Homework Answers
a. It lacks voltage gated Na+ channels. Soma of Neuron is also called cell body or perikaryon or neurocyton. It doesn’t play an important role in generation of action potential .it only transmits the signal from dendrites to axon hillock from there to axon terminals. Functions of cell body. It consists of several organelles and nucleus. The nucleus consists of DNA for cellular activity. Types of cell bodies. 1. Unipolar neurons 2.multipolar neurons. 3. Bipolar neuron.

Order the following events that occur in a neuron in response
to a stimulus
Sodium Potassium Pumps and Potassium Leak Channels re-establish the resting potential Voltage Gated Potassium channels close The inside of the cell becomes more negative than the original resting potential V Voltage Gated Sodium channels open Sodium ions rush into the cell The inside of the cell becomes temporarily positive Votage Cated Potatalum channels open which causes potassium to flood out of the cell

D 5. Imagine that, using a microscopic needle, you inject a drug directly into a neuron that blocks half of the voltage-gated K+ channels in a neuron. What would be the effect on the action potential of a neuron? Prolonged (longer) action potential because of slower K+ diffusion No action potential would occur because K+ cannot enter the cell Action potentials will be higher in amplitude Action potentials will start at the dendrites

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....

During the propagation of an action potential, what would be the effect of a mutation in the voltage-gated Na+-channels that does not allow “inactivation” phase to occur, such that these channels go directly from open to closed conformations? a) The neuron with the mutant Na+ channels will start letting in calcium ions and generate a calcium-based action potential that is stronger than the sodium-based action potential. b) The neuron with the mutant Na+ channel will exhibit a reverse electrochemical gradient...
