n effector neuron is a motor neuron that transmits impulses from the CNS to an effector (muscle or gland). In an experiment, it was determined that the effector neuron for muscle fibre 1 had a threshold level of –5 mV. The effector neuron for muscle fibre 2 had a threshold level of –16 mV. An electrical probe was used to stimulate these two effector neurons of the muscle fibres. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the reaction of each muscle fibre based on the applied stimulus voltage?    Stimulus Voltage  Muscle Fibre 1  Muscle Fibre 2 –20 mV Relaxed Contracted b.

Separately, draw a table using arrows to depict the appropriate magnitude and direction of the forces and ion fluxes at different membrane potentials for a ligand-gated channel that is equally permeable to both ion X+ and ion Y+.   The equilibrium potential for ion X+ is -60 mV, and the equilibrium potential for ion Y+ is -20 mV. Which item (a, b, c, or d) best represents the forces and fluxes for a membrane potential of +20 mV? Upwards arrows means outward direction and downwards arrow means inward direction. The length of the arrow determines the magnitude.

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are ion channels found on animal cells. Some TRP channels are activated by spice molecules, such as garlic, chilli pepper, and wasabi. To study the effects of raw and cooked garlic on the opening of TRP channels, researchers isolated 10 neurons containing the TRP channels. Droplets of raw garlic extract were added to five of the neurons, and droplets of cooked garlic extract were added to the remaining five neurons. Both groups of neurons were monitored to see whether the channels were opening in response to the different types of garlic extracts. TRP channels were activated and opened in the neurons treated with raw garlic extract but not in the neurons treated with cooked garlic. Identify the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in the experiment described above. Types of Variables   Manipulated Responding Controlled   Number: Answer Answer Answer Answer Variable: Number of extract droplets Number of neurons Addition…

Based upon the changes in permeability seen in the trace below and your knowledge of ion distributions across a cell, predict how ion movements would change during an action potential. Drag and drop each phrase into the appropriate box on the action potential trace. Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets. Note: not all labels will be used. ►View Available Hint(s) Sodium (Na+) ions move to the axon Sodium (Na) ions move out of the axon Less potassium (K) ions move out of the axon Potassium (K) ions move out of the axon Potassium (K¹) ions move into the axon Sodium (Na) ions stop moving in Membrane potential (mv) +30 +10 0 -10- -30 -50 -70 -90 A PNa 0 PNa 5 6 1 PK Threshold PK 2 Reset Help

What is the intracellular voltage for Cl- if the intracellular concentration was 5 mM and the extracellular concentration was 130 mM. Write the voltage as a number in mV inside the cell relative to that outside, eg. -72 or + 90. Question 2. What is the intracellular voltage for Ca++ if the intracellular concentration was 0.0008 mM and the extracellular concentration was 0.6 mM. Write the voltage as a number in mV inside the cell relative to that outside, eg. -72 or +90. Round to the nearest milli Volt.

Three currents are produced by a 56 mV depolarization leading to an action potential in a squid axon membrane during a voltage clamp experiment as shown. What is the mechanism underlying the capacitive current? 56 mV Depolarization Capacitative current Late current Early current Time (ms) Opening of Na* channels Current due to the Na/K* pump O Neutralization of the charge on the membrane Opening of K channels Membrane Membeane current imA/cm potential (mV)

The giant squid axon has a diameter = 1mm and 1 = 13mm. Compared to a mammalian neuron with a diameter = 1 um and ^ = 0.2mm, which of the following is correct? graded potentials can generate action potentials in the mammalian axon but not in the squid axon. graded potential of similar magnitude would result in action potentials with larger amplitude in the mammalian axon graded potentials of similar magnitude would result in action potentials with larger amplitude in the squid axon graded potentials of similar magnitude would travel furthest from their point of origin in the mammalian axon graded potentials of similar magnitude would travel furthest from their point of origin in the squid axon
