L21 Bioelectricity: Membrane Potentials in Neurons

Descrição

Know the two main cations that contribute to the electrical properties of a neuron. Understand the different ways these cations can move across the semi-permeable membrane of the neuron (channels vs pump). List the different types of polarisation of a nerve cell membrane. Explain what is meant by the resting membrane potential. Explain what is meant by a local potential.

Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
The phospholipid bilayer is an insulator which cations cannot pass through, but anions can.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 2

Questão
Choose the incorrect statement about ions and the RMP.
Responda
  • At RMP, concentration of Na+ is low inside the cell.
  • Normal ECF concentration of Na+ is 135-145mmol/L
  • At RMP, K+ concentration is high outside of the cell.
  • Normal ECF concentration of K+ 3.5-5mmol/L

Questão 3

Questão
The Na+/K+-ATPase pumps 3 Na+ out of the cell against their gradient and 2 K+ ions into the cell against their gradient.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 4

Questão
Cells are at RMP the majority of the time.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 5

Questão
Choose the incorrect statement.
Responda
  • At RMP, most Na+ channels are closed
  • At RMP, some K+ channels are closed
  • Na+/K+-ATPase is inactive

Questão 6

Questão
At RMP if more Na+ channels open, the cell becomes depolarised meaning it becomes more negative (-) in comparison to the ECF
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 7

Questão
Choose the correct statements.
Responda
  • At RMP K+ outflow is slightly larger than Na+ inflow
  • Na+ channels opening causes depolarisation up to +30mV
  • K+ channels opening causes repolarisation
  • Hyperpolarisation is due to Na+ channels closing before K+ gradient is fully established

Questão 8

Questão
Depolarisation is inhibitory, hyperpolarisation is excitatory.
Responda
  • True
  • False
