A student is eating at the lab bench (a clear violation of lab policies) and mistakenly sprinkles tetrodotoxin on his fries. Explain the origin of the toxin and its normal function in that animal. Given that this substance inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, indicate whether each of the statements below are true or false. Explain your answers. Explain the time course of the response. It will be more difficult for the student’s neurons to generate action potentials The student’s neurons will fire more frequently because membrane potential will be brough closer to threshold. The effect on the membrane potential o the student’s neurons could be predicted by the Nernst equation, which factors in the effects of both ion concentration and ion permeability.
While Jack and Eliza were backpacking on a trail in YellowstonePark, they encountered a grizzly bear cub that seemed amazinglytame. However, while Jack tried to feed the cub, its mother appearedand attacked him. Eliza escaped by climbing a tree, but Jack receivedseveral deep lacerations (cuts) and lost a lot of blood over the nextseveral hours. Eliza helped him reach medical aid, and he survived.Which of the following mechanisms was (were) activated to help keepJack alive? Explain your choice.(1) baroreceptor mechanism(2) CNS ischemic response(3) renin-angiotensin-aldosterone mechanism(4) fluid shift mechanism(5) antidiuretic hormone mechanism(6) adrenal medullary responsea. 1,2,3,4,5,6 b. 1,3,4,5,6 c. 1,6 d. 1,4,6 e. 1
Conotoxin is produced by marine cone snails. Among its effects is to block voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in n eurons. A. What anatomical part of a neuron would be affected by conotoxin? B. How would the neuron's action potential be affected by conotoxin? Explain, using at least TWO of the following terms: threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, summation, IPSP, EPSP, exocytosis C. If conotoxin affected a somatic motor neuron, would this toxin cause muscle weakness or increased muscle tension? Explain why.
This photo shows a child receiving an oral vaccine againstpolio, a disease caused by a virus that infects neurons. Giventhat the body cannot readily replace most neurons, why isit important that a polio vaccine stimulate not only acell-mediated response but also a humoral response?
Several people suffer from severe allergic reactions to things like nuts, seafood, or bee stings that cause their body to go into anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a serious and life-threatening allergic reaction where tissues of the tongue and throat can swell to close off the airway. Symptoms include swelling of the lips and tongue, shortness of breath, rapid pulse and fainting. Explain how this hormone would work in conjunction with the nervous system to alleviate symptoms of anaphylaxis.

The concentration of potassium ions inside a nerve cell membrane is higher than the concentration of sodium ions outside the mem-brane, yet the inside of the membrane (where the cation concentra-tion is higher) is negative to the outside. Explain this observation in terms of permeability properties of the membrane.

**Please just answer the questions no need for explanation** 1) What effect would the toxin have on a cell with a non-excitable membrane in the man's body? Answer choice (Hyperpolarization, Afterhyperpolarization, No effect, Depolarization) b)True/false A cell membrane can have a membrane potential of 0mV c) True/false If the effect of EPSPs from many synapses outweighs the effect of many IPSPs from many synapses, threshold potential can be reached at the initial segment. d) true/false Under normal conditions, one EPSP, from a single synapse on a dendrite, can stimulate an action potential at the initial segment. e) True/false A cell affected by tetrodotoxin would have an action potential firing rate in the initial segment of the axon of about 100 action potentials per second
