A

Force required to prevent water from moving across a semi-permeable membrane

51
Q

What 6 things influence the rate of diffusion?

A

Magnitude of concentration, temperate of solution, size of diffusing molecules or ions, viscosity of solvent, surface area, distance

52
Q

Channels are always what?

A

OPEN

53
Q

Carrier proteins are what?

A

Only open on one side at a time

54
Q

What is absolute refractory period?

A

Period of time where action potentials can’t occur // No stimulus is high enough to create another action potential

55
Q

What is the relative refractory period?

A

When an action potential can occur but isn’t likely… because of hyperpolarization

56

Q

Salt water?

A

Hypertonic

65
Q

Tap water?

A

Hypotonic

66
Q

All-or-nothing theory?

74
Q

Hypokalemia?

A

Increase potential for K+ to leave the cell

75

High amount of Sodium outside of the cell // Nothing happens

76
Q

What are glycoproteins and glycolipids?

A

Marker molecules

77
Q

The more frequent the action potential the more powerful the _____?

A

Stimulus

78

Q

What effect on RMP do I have if I double the # of K+ leak channels?

A

Hyperpolarization

82
Q

Na+/K+ ATPase pump does what?

A

Pumps in 2 K+ and pumps out 3 Na+

83
Q

What doesn’t contribute to the resting membrane potential and what does?

A

Sodium doesn’t and potassium does

84
Q

What effect would I have on the RMP if I decreased the # of Na+/K+ ATPase pump by half?
