Question
Answer
show Action Potential (AP)  
🗑
show Resting Membrane Potential (RMP)  
🗑
show -90 mv  
🗑
show 142 mEq/L  
🗑
show 14 mEq/L  
🗑
K+ (outside)   show
🗑
K+ (inside)   show
🗑
The flow of ions across the plasma membrane down their electrochemical gradients is directly responsible for generating much of the RMP   show
🗑
show Membrane potentials  
🗑
show K  
🗑
diffuses outside creating electronegativity inside while electropositivity outside the plasma membrane   show
🗑
Diffusion stops when _____________ is great enough to block further net diffusion to the exterior despite high K concentration inside   show
🗑
show (-) 94 mV  
🗑
show Na ions  
🗑
diffusion to the inside creates a membrane potential which is (+) inside and stops when diffusion potential = (+) 61 mV is reached   show
🗑
show Nernst Potential  
🗑
show +/- 61 x log conc. inside divided by conc. outside  
🗑
show Nernst Potential  
🗑
show Na, K and Cl  
🗑
The degree of importance of each of the ions in determining the voltage is proportional to the _________ for that particular ion   show
🗑
A (+) ion concentration gradient from the inside to the outside of the membrane causes __________ inside the membrane   show
🗑
__________ inside are left behind creating electronegativity inside plus Cl ions outside diffuse to the inside following Na ions   show
🗑
show transmission of nerve impulse  
🗑
________does not change charges greatly   show
🗑
Rapid changes in Na and K permeability are primarily responsible for _______________   show
🗑
continually transports Na to the outside and K ions to the inside of the cell   show
🗑
an electrogenic pump because more (+) charges are pumped to the outside than to the inside: 3Na + outside; 2K = outside   show
🗑
show Effects Na- K Pump  
🗑
show Effects Na- K Pump  
🗑
show Effects Na- K Pump  
🗑
show Effects Na- K Pump  
🗑
The _______________ is used to calculate the diffusion potential when the membrane is permeable to several different ions   show
🗑
show 1) the polarity of the electrical charge of each ion 2) the permeability of the membrane (P) to each ion 3) the concentrations (C) of the respective ions on the inside (i) and outside (o) of the membrane  
🗑
Gives the calculated membrane potential on the inside of the membrane when two univalent positive ions, K+ and Na+, and one univalent negative ion, Cl- are involved.   show
🗑
show sodium, potassium, and chloride  
🗑
The concentration of _______,__________,________ across the membrane helps determine the voltage of the membrane potential   show
🗑
the quantitive importance of _______,_____,_______ in determining the voltage is proportional to the ________________ for that particular ion.   show
🗑
If the membrane has _______ permeability of potassium and chloride ions, the membrane potential becomes entirely dominated by the concentration gradient of sodium ions alone, and the resulting potential will be equal to the _________for sodium   show
🗑
show Origin of the Normal Resting Potential:  
🗑
- Contribution of the Potassium Diffusion Potential   show
🗑
show Origin of the Normal Resting Potential:  
🗑
