Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Resting Membrane Potential is the difference across plasma membranes expressed in millivolts
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Resting Membrane Potential is determined by..
Respuesta
  • Permeability to Na+ and K+
  • Permeability to Na+ and Ca+
  • Permeability to K+ and Ca+

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
When k+ concentration inside the cell is high, the electrical gradient will force K+ into the cell because the electrical gradient is stronger than the chemical gradient.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
When Na+ concentration inside the cell is low, the cell will
Respuesta
  • Move Na+ into the cell because of the chemical gradient
  • Move Na+ out of the cell because of the electrical gradient
  • Move Na+ into the cell because of the electrical gradient
  • Move Na+ out of the cell to reach an equilibrium

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Resting membrane potential is -70mV
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
An Action Potential occurs when a threshold point of -40mV is reached
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
When an action potential begins, [blank_start]depolarisation[blank_end] occurs, causing [blank_start]Na+[blank_end] voltage gates to open and allow Na+ to flow [blank_start]into[blank_end] the cell.
Respuesta
  • depolarisation
  • Repolarisation
  • Na+
  • K+
  • into
  • out

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
During the repolarisation phase of an action potential..
Respuesta
  • Na+ voltage gates close at -30mV (ICF)
  • Na+ voltage gates open
  • K+ gates opening, allowing K+ to flow out the cell
  • K+ gates close at -90mV (ICF)
  • K+ gates open at -90mV(ICF)

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
The electrical signal (action potential) is sent along the axon of a nerve cell
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 10

Pregunta
What happens to the electrical signal (action potential) when it enters the axon terminal?
Respuesta
  • It enters the synaptic cleft as neurotransmitters
  • it stays in the axon terminal
  • It changes to a chemical signal
  • Causes an influx of Ca+
  • It continues as an electrical gradient
