| Topic | I have to internalize the answers to 8 neurophysiology q's by monday night |
| On_The_Edge 03/23/18 8:10:33 PM #4: | 1. How is the resting potential of a neuron maintained? Include the mechanism of action of the sodium potassium ATPase and other channels. 2. What is the function of microtubules in a neuron? 3. Describe and explain the experiments of Hodgkin, Huxley and Katz to elucidate the mechanisms and molecular basis of the action potential. 4. Explain why neurons with axons of a larger diameter conduct a nervous impulse faster than neurons with a smaller diameter axon. Include the time and length constraints and explain and describe each. 5. What influences the passive properties of a neuron and how will they affect the transmission of a nervous impulse? 7. How is a cation channel selective for a particular ion (e.g. potassium or sodium)? 8. What is the effect of the equilibrium potential of an ion on its conductance through a channel in the neuronal membrane? --- We're here. https://discord.gg/Q9K3ndP ... Copied to Clipboard! |
