Nervous System II Flashcards
muscles in front of the thigh?
quadriceps
muscles in the back of the thigh?
hamstring
what is the charge of resting membrane potential?
- 70 mV
T or F
there are more Na leak channels than K leak channels
False
there are more K channels than Na
T or F
resting stage:
leak channels are closed
voltage gates are open
False
during rmp
leak channels are only channels that is open
while, voltage gates are closed
T or F
there are more K channels than Na Channels
true
T or F
resting stage:
leak channels are open
voltage gates are closed
true
what is the ratio of pumps does sodium potassium pump?
3:2
3 Na out, in exchange for
2 potassium in
what is energy is used to activate the sodium potassium voltage gates?
ATP
adenosine triphosphate
Na channels opens brieftly, and Na diffuses quikly into the cell
its is the current making the inside of the cell positive
Local Current
situation when the inside of the cell becomes positive
Depolarization
T or F
If depolarization is not strong enough, the Na+ channels close again, and the local potential disappears without being conducted along the nerve cell membrane.
True
T or F
If depolarization is large enough, Na+ enters the cell so that the local potential
reaches a threshold value.
True
charge of the action potential?
+20
what is the cause of slow closing of voltage gated potassium
hyperpolarization
