Fill in Table 1 with the resting membrane potentials reported in different cell types, and different organisms (ie squid, frog, etc) – Discuss the findings – is the resting membrane potential different in different tissue types? Is the resting membrane potential different in the same tissue but from different animals? Discuss why there are differences and what the likely reason for it is physiologically.

1- Which of the following would be appropriate actions following transcutaneous pacing?

Consult a specialist.

Follow VT/VF algorithm

Administer amiodarone.

Confirm ET tube placement with quantitative waveform capnography.

2- What reason is NOT valid during the critical early defibrillation for individuals experiencing sudden cardiac arrest?

Individuals in asystole respond well to early defibrillation.

A common initial rhythm in out-of-hospital witnessed sudden cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation (VF).

The most effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation (VF) is electrical defibrillation.

The probability of successful defibrillation decreases quickly over time.

3-The best treatment for ST-elevation MI (STEMI) is:

Epinephrine and vasopressin

Early reperfusion therapy

Lidocaine and magnesium

Rapid transfusion

In patients with poliomyelitis, motor neurons are destroyed, causing loss of muscle function and even flaccid paralysis. Sometimes recovery occurs because of the formation of axon branches from the remaining motor neurons. These branches innervate the paralyzed muscle fibers to produce motor units with many more muscle fibers than usual, resulting in the recovery of muscle function. What effect would this reinnervation of muscle fibers have on the degree of muscle control in a person who has recovered from poliomyelitis?
