hematocrit value for the healthy female: 53. The average hematocrit levels for a male are between: 42-52% and for females between 37-47%. The values for the male and female living in Denver are higher-than-normal‚ indicating that they have polycythemia. 4. How did the hematocrit levels of the Denver residents differ from those of the Boston residents? Why? How well did the results compare with your prediction? My prediction matched the results. The Denver residents have higher-than-normal hematocrit

Physiology Exercise 3 Activity 1 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Your answer: By increasing the extrecellular K+ the net diffiusion of K+ out the neuron through the eak channels is reduced. This is caused by the flow of ions following the concentration gradient of traveling from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration. The higher concentration gradient would result in a reduced diffusions

Review Sheet Exercise 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? They require different things. Action potential requires depolarization and repolarization. Depolarization doesn’t require anything. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? 3.0V 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes in the nerve? The action potential

Nancy Yedanapalli physio ex Activity 6 1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. a. The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation)‚ where as the contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2.
