not alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron because the Na+ channels were mostly closed. 4. Na+ and K+ both have a relative permeability of 0 voltage outside a resting neuron and a relative negative permeability inside a resting neuron. 5. A change in Na+ or K+ conductance would affect the resting membrane potential because if the membrane is permeable to a particular ion‚ that ion will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower

does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? The tracing travel in the same fashion but the tracing were different with an increase threshold voltage 4. What reason can you give for the change? Increase voltage 5. Record this maximal voltage here: 6.0 V Activity 2: Mechanical Stimulation 1. When the glass rod is touching the nerve‚ what do you see on the oscilloscope screen? The nerve’s action potential to stimuli 2. How does this tracing compare with

Did the PCO2 level change during the course of normal breathing? If so‚ how? No‚ it stayed at 40mm Hg Activity 2a: Hyperventilation – Run 1 1. At 20 seconds‚ pH = 7.43 2. At 40 seconds‚ pH = 7.52 3. At 60 seconds‚ pH = 7.67 4. Maximum pH = 7.68 5. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during this run? If so‚ how

see any change in the trace? No change in the trace 2. Why or why not? This is because it needs more simulation 3. Did you see any change in the trace? I did see a change in the trace 4. Why or why not? There is double stimulation 5. Describe the change you see in the trace. How does it differ from the baseline trace? The trace increased from the baseline trace 6. What effect do the repeated stimuli have on the heartbeat trace? Describe the trace. The heartbeat trace showed

PhysioEX notes Autorhythmicity- heart’s ability to trigger its own contractions Phase O- a lot like depolarization in neuronal action potentials. Sodium channels open‚ increase of sodium INTO cell. Phase 1- sodium channels close‚ potassium channels close‚ decrease in potassium and sodium. Calcium channels open‚ increase of calcium into cell. Phase 2- Plateau phase‚ membrane still depolarized (contract). Potassium channels closed‚ L-type calcium channels stay open. Lasts 0.2 seconds/200

PHYSIO EX 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The temperature of the solutions and the difference in concentration of the ion or molecule between the sides of the membrane 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Since the chemical formula for urea is (NH2)2CO and its molecular weight is about 60. It will not diffuse through the

Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 3: The Effect of Stimulus Frequency on Skeletal Muscle Contraction Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. During a single twitch of a skeletal muscle You correctly answered: b. maximal force is never achieved. 2. When a skeletal muscle is repetitively stimulated‚ twitches can overlap each other and result in a stronger muscle contraction than a stand-alone twitch. This phenomenon is known as

Name each phase of a typical muscle twitch‚ and‚ on the following line‚ describe what is happening in each phase. a. Latent-stage from rest to muscle tension begins b. Contraction-At this stage the muscle reaches its peak in contraction c. Relaxation- muscle is shortened‚ returns to zero and back initial length. 2. In Activity 2‚ how long was the latent period? ___2

affect the glomerular filtration functions. With significant reduction of the afferent radius‚ very limited blood can pass through the capillaries and that leaves insufficient fluid to be filtered no any extra water can be produced as urine. 5. How did increasing the efferent radius affect glomerular filtration rate? >> Increasing the efferent radius decreases the glomerular filtration rate. Increasing the efferent radius allows more blood drainage out of the glomerulus and that
