the pH value outside of the normal range‚ and what acid/base imbalance did this pH value indicate? No the pH levels were not in the “normal” range for the human body. Beginning at 40 seconds‚ with the pH at 7.52‚ respiratory alkalosis occurred. 7. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of this run? If so‚ how? Yes the PCO2 levels did fluctuate over the course of this run decreased from 40mm Hg to 19.7mm Hg 8. If you observed an acid/base imbalance during this run‚ how would you expect

Activity 1: Electrical Stimulation 1. Do you see any kind of response on the oscilloscope screen? NO 2. What was the threshold voltage‚ or the voltage at which you first saw an action potential? 3.0 V 3. How 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:

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

Activity 1 1. Increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels because the membrane is permeable to K+ ions. Therefore‚ the K+ ions will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because the K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane. My results went well compared to my prediction

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 7 Review Sheet Definitions/Explanations: Respiration: The entire process of gas exchange in the body; it includes each of the following: 1. Pulmonary Ventilation (AKA breathing): The follow of air into and out of the lungs. The result of muscle contraction of the diaphragm. Ventilation consists of two parts: a. Inspiration: The process that occurs when atmospheric gas is drawn into the lungs by way of contraction of the diaphragm which causes expansion of the thoracic
