Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses ACTIVITY 1 The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. If the extracellular K+ increases then the concentration of intracellular K+ will decrease causing a decrease in the steepness of the concentration gradient and fewer K+ ions would be drawn out. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative

Determination In “The Glass Castle” we see many different possibilities pertaining to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. We see the father‚ Rex and one of the daughters‚ Maureen‚ who fall victim to Maslow. Then there’s Jeanette and the mother‚ Rose Mary who have both seemed to achieve self-actualization regardless of their hardships. Traditionally‚ Maslow’s Hierarchy is thought to be achieved by working up from the bottom of the pyramid to get to the top. However‚ in “The Glass Castle” this is not particularly

ACTIVITY 1: THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? When the diffusion is greater on one side‚ the other side will slow down. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your predictions? There are two potassium’s for every sodium so the increase of potassium will make it more

Blood Gas Analysis at the Core Laboratory at University Hospital‚ London‚ Ontario. Blood is one of the most important fluids in the human body. It helps carry nutrients such as oxygen to the cells in the body and transports out wastes like carbon dioxide and other metabolites from these cells. Since blood is the medium through which the different organs and tissues in our body communicates‚ keeping a close eye on the constituents of a blood sample would provide a good indication of the functioning

Blood spatter analysis began in 1895 with Dr. Eduard Piotrowski‚ who published Concerning the Origin‚ Shape‚ Direction and Distribution of the Bloodstains Following Head Wounds Caused by Blows‚ which was the first major study of blood spatter in history. Piotrowski’s research influenced the work of other European scientists throughout the twentieth century‚ such as Dr. Victor Balthazard‚ who further investigated blood spatter. Dr. Balthazard was a French scientist

By stepping into the astronomical world of criminal justice‚ countless career paths present themselves‚ such as homicide investigation‚ crime scene investigation‚ or blood spatter analysis‚ but only one is attainable. On the homicide investigation side of the spectrum‚ there are many things to take into consideration. Before getting the job‚ or any job in criminal justice for that matter‚ an

looks for human remains‚ blood or other bodily fluids and collects samples of any that if found. Since all bodily fluids (mainly those that have been cleaned up after) are not noticeable to the naked eye‚ the scientist can use the chemical Luminol to show latent traces of blood. Where large quantities of blood are present‚ an expert in blood spatter analysis can examine the patterns and size of the bloody areas to determine information such as the trajectory of the blood. This data can help an investigator

Analysis of Orthostatic Vital Signs The purpose of this assignment was to measure‚ document and analyse six recordings of orthostatic blood pressure‚ orthostatic pulse and respiratory rate on my lab partner. Orthostatic Hypotension is a condition when there is a drop in systolic pressure of more than 20 mm Hg‚ or orthostatic pulse increases of 20 bpm or more which occurs due to a quick change to a standing position (Jarvis‚ pp. 163). Six recordings were taken over a certain period of time to better
