Summary Introduction
To calculate:
The pump current for sodium ions ( μA/cm2) in the given condition.
Introduction:
An action potential can be defined as a quick rise and a subsequent decrease in voltage or membrane potential through a cellular membrane with a distinguishing pattern. Synapse is a junction present between the two neurons.

Blood plasma flows with a rate of 0.4 cm³/s through a tube with a diameter d = 0.18 cm
and length 1 = 1.8 m at a temperature of 20°C. The pressure at the tube entrance is P2 =
1.48 x 104 N/m2. If the temperature of the tube and plasma reaches 29°C, what is the tube
entrance pressure P2' needed to maintain the flow rate and pressure at the tube exit
constant. Consider 120°c = 1.81 mPa·s and n29°c = 1.28 mPa.s.

Let's assume that this decrease in pressure is a linear function of length (x) and can be described by the following equation: pressure Pc(x) = (43 – 28x) mmHg We can assume that the other hydrostatic and osmotic pressures do not change along the length of the capillary. Specifically, oncotic pressure in the capillary is 28 mmHg. In the interstitial fluid surrounding our capillaries, hydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid surrounding the capillaries is about –2.0 mmHg, and osmotic pressure of about 1.0 mmHg. At what length value of x does flow switch from going out of the capillaries into the surrounding tissue to into the capillaries from the surrounding tissue? Don't worry about the units of x. We can think of x as a fraction representing how far down the capillary we are relative to total length. For example, x of 0.5 would be halfway down the…arrow_forwardmL/hr For the following order/supply, calculate the pump setting: Order: KCI 40 mEq/L at 10 mEq/hour IV, in D5W 1000 mL Supply: infusion pump, vial of KCI labeled 20 mEq/10 mLarrow_forward
