Explain how the depolarization stage of an action potential
occurs and provide the change in electrical charge during
depolarization. Be sure to address driving forces (gradients) in
your answer.
explain why myelinated axon's conduct action potential faster than
nonmyelinated axons. provide details on how action potential spread
in myelinated axon's versus non-myelinated axon's
Describe the series of events that occurs during an action
potential, including the ions involved, how each ion is moved, and
the change in membrane potentials.
• Explain the role of myelin in conduction of action
potentials.
• Explain how neurotransmitters transmit signals across
synapses.
• Distinguish between sensation and perception.
• Describe the function of sensory receptors and list 5 types.
•
Explain “Excitation-Contraction Coupling” by describing the
chain of events that occurs from the Action Potential approaching
the terminal end of the motor neuron through the production of a
concentric contraction in the skeletal muscle
Describe the process of synaptic transmission. Begin your answer
by describing how the action potential occurs. End your answer by
describing binding of neurotransmitter to receptors.
What are the stages the membrane potential goes through during
an action potential? Describe each stage in terms of the changes in
sodium and potassium ions inside the cell. Name and describe the
two types of refractory periods, and what, if anything would make a
neuron fire during a refractory period.
13. Describe the basic sequence of events that occurs as an
action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction and is
transmitted to the muscle cell and leads to a contraction. Explain
at the end how relaxation of the muscle takes place (include what
happens at the neuromuscular junction and in the muscle fiber. You
may use some words multiple times. Fill in the blanks with a
complete word or words (no abbreviations) of each step.
1. An action potential arrives...
