Explanation

Question 9 of 33

1

All of the following are true about RMP except

Select one of the following:

  • When RMP = -110 mv inside is more negative --> draws K into the cell and it is hyperpolarized enough to have more K coming in than leaving, despite that being against it's conc gradient

  • When RMP = +30 inside is more positive than the outside -->both the electrical and chemical gradient is pushing K out of the cell

  • none of the above

Explanation

Question 10 of 33

1

Generation of resting membrane potential - all the following true except?

Select one of the following:

  • if only K is permeable, Equilibrium potential for K will determine the RMP and it will be -94mV

  • If only Na is permeable then the RMP would be +60mV (which is the equilibrium potential for Na)

  • When there are 2 ions moving (back of forth thru the membrane) the RMP will be determined by the ion with the greater number of leaky (non-gated) channels

  • none of the above

Explanation

Question 11 of 33

1

Increasing the ECF concentration of NA makes the RMP more positive

Select one of the following:

  • True

Explanation

Question 12 of 33

1

If you make the membrane even more permeable to K - then the membrane will be hyperpolarized

Select one of the following:

  • True

Explanation

Question 13 of 33

1

All of the following are true about Electronic Potentials except?

Select one of the following:

  • Subthreshold depolarizing events

  • No refractory period

Explanation

Question 14 of 33

1

All are true about Action potential except?

Select one of the following:

  • All or nothing event

  • Chemical or mechanical stimuli

  • Polarity with inside positive

  • Refractory period (including Absolute refractory period)

Explanation

Question 15 of 33

1

All of the following are true except?

Select one of the following:

  • At rest - membrane is most permeable to Na

  • At Threshold - voltage-gated Na channels open

  • Rising phase and overshoot - membrane becomes so depolarized that it overshoots and is reversed in polarity

  • At or near the peak the Na permeability begins to decrease and K permeability through voltage-gated K channels increase (Both channels open in response to hitting Threshold, just Na open much faster)

  • Repolarization - Na voltage gated channels have started closing and voltage gated channels are opening

  • After hyperpolarization - voltage gated K channels are still open but they will gradually close at this point

Question 18 of 33
