Answer
During repolarization, potassium moves of the cell resulting in hyperpolarization of the membrane. This stage makes the membrane more negative. Na K ATPase pump brungs the membrane potential to resting value by pumping the Na out of the cell and K inside cell. This also helps to create Na concentration gradient across the cell.
how are the sodium potassium pump and action potential related? as far as I know, the...
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.

can someone explain how action potential works using the sodium potassium pump? the steps and order of the process? when Na and K go in and out of the cell? thank you
ana ion channels. The two ions in questions are Na+ (sodium ion) and K+ (potassium ion). The on channels/pumps are a) voltage-gated sodium channel, b) voltage-gated potassium channel, and c) sodium/potassium pump. a) Depolarization: b) Repolarization: c) Restoring ion concentrations:
The sodium-potassium pump (aka Na-K ATPase) a.pumps Na out of and K* into the cell b. pumps Na* and K* out of the cell pumps Na* and K* into the cell d. pumps Na into and K* out of the cell
2. Neuron during an action potential: a. What triggers the first action potential (which ion)? b. What is the typical threshold potential of a neuron? c. The calculated equilibrium potential of Na+ (EN) is approx. +60mV (calculated). Explain how this is related to the rising phase of an action potential (depolarization). d. The calculated equilibrium potential of K+ (EK) is approx. -90mV. Explain how this is related to the falling phase (repolarization). e. Direction of Nation movement (influx/efflux). f. Direction...
Question 49 1.67 pts Neurons have a negative resting potential. When they are conducting an action potential, the resting potential becomes more positive (depolarization) followed by a drop in the resting potential (repolarization). What is the order and direction of the ion movement responsible for these changes? Potassium (K+) rushes out, then sodium (Na+) rushes into the cell Chloride (Cl-) rushes out, then potassium (K) rushes into the cell Potassium (K+) rushes in, then sodium (Na+) rushes out of the...
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
Question 2: Explain what is occurring in this graph: +30 mv Nat Nat K+ Sodium gates dose Nat Nat Potassium gates open Depolarization Active sodium and potassium pumps. Nat Nat K Repolarization Rest -55 mv-Gate threshold -70 mv Stimulus potential Nat (1) TO Nat K+ -90 mV E Hyperpolarization
1. How is an increase in stimulus strength reflected by an action potential? Draw this answer out and attach it to your post. 2. Why is the Nat/K* pump responsible for maintaining resting membrane potential? 3. Explain how repolarization happens. Give characteristics of the absolute and relative refractory periods in terms of voltage-gated sodium channel conformation. At what point can a new action potential be generated? 4. Outline a situation that would reduce the likelihood of an action potential occurring....
8) The Na+/K+-ATPase enzyme helps cells maintain their membrane potential. For every (1/2/3/4) sodium ions that are (Pumped in/Pumped out), (1/2/3/4) potassium ions are (Pumped in/Pumped out)
