Question
Answer
resting membrane potential   plasma membrane creates slight difference between charge inside & outside the cell  
🗑
what is potential difference in skeletal muscle cells?   -70 to -90 mV  
🗑
what is the purpose of the sodium potassium pump?   moves NA+ and K+ through the plasma membrane AGAINST their concentration gradients  
🗑
why is cell negative?   because it produces negatively charged proteins  
🗑
the resting membrane potential is an equilibrium   established when K+ diffuses out of the cell - then becomes equal to the tendency of K+ to move back into the cell, because it is attracted to negatively charge proteins inside the cell  
🗑
depolarizing   closer to zero - sodium is entering into the cell  
🗑
repolarization   drops it to -70 - potassium is leaving the cell  
🗑
sodium-potassium pump   flips  
🗑
full action potential   as we depoarize, sodim enters cell  
🗑
threshold   must cross threshold, sodium chaneels open, floods in, creates charge - makes cell more positive, sodium is in cell - crested -  
🗑
repolarization   potassium starts to leave  
🗑
refractory period   balances out - absolute & relative  
🗑
refractory period    
🗑
  Potassium & sodium are actively pumped out of the cell & then leak back inPotassium passes easily; sodium and chloride have a more difficult timeProteins are negative-cannot pass membrane IMBALANCE in voltage is a “potential” difference – ther

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
