Summary Introduction

To draw: The illustration for resulting potentials for all possible combination of E1, E2 and I

Introduction: The graded potential arises during resting, depolarization, and action potential. The gated channels help in the movement of ions from the extracellular region to the intracellular region.

Explanation of Solution

The graded potential (mV) in the axonal membrane is shown below:

  • 1-represents the weak excitation (E1)
  • indicates the stronger stimulus (E2)
  • represents the inhibitory stimulus (I) produced by the hyperpolarization.
  • represents the sum of all resulting graded potential

Pictorial representation: Fig 1 represents resulting potentials for all possible combinations.

The compound tetraethylammonium (TEA) blocks the voltage-gated changes in potassium permeability that occurs during an action potential. After administration of TEA, what changes would you expect in the action potential?
What is equilibrium potential? Explain with an example?
Compound X has been shown to block voltage-gated K+ channels with an IC50 of 0.1 mM. Which of the following is the most likely to occur in neurones following application of 0.03 mM X?     Action potentials would be prolonged and the resting potential would be depolarised.     Action potentials would be prolonged but the resting potential would remain the same.     Neither resting potential nor action potentials would be affected because the concentration of X is less than the IC50 value.     The resting membrane potential would depolarise but there would be no effect on action potentials.
