36
Q

Location and effect of VP2 receptors

A

Collecting duct of renal tubule - H20 reabsorption

37
Q

Describe phases of cardiac action potential

A

0 - Na influx, resting membrane -85mV, AP at -60mV to +20mV

1 - K efflux

2 - Ca influx through L type channels

3 - K efflux

4 - Na/K/ATPase
3 Na move out and 2 K move in to restore potential
