2- a) Assume the following concentrations of Na+ and K+ ions: [Na+]o = 120 mM, [Na+]i = 6 mM, [K+]o = 2 mM, and [K+]i = 150 mM. Assume further that at the peak of the action potential, pK : pNa is 1 : 12. Calculate Vm at the peak of the action potential.(Use Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz equation, disregard Chlorine ion) b) Explain the molecular basis of the neuronal refractory periods. That is discuss both the absolute refractory period and the relative...

The separation between neighboring Na+ and Cl- ions in crystal of NaCl is 0.281 nm, whilst the separation between neighboring Na ions in metallic sodium is 0.372 nm. Given that the ionic radius of Cl- is 0.181 nm, determine the radius of the Na+ ions in each case. Explain why the values are different.

Furosemide: Relative to normal, what would happen if the drug furosemide inhibits Na+/K+ and Na+/Cl- symport channels in the thick segment of the ascending limb of the nephron tubule? Explain your reasoning for each. What would happen to water loss from the descending limb? Why. What would happen to the osmolarity of the filtrate inside the bottom of the nephron loop? Why? What would happen to the loss of salt (NaCl) from the thin segment of the ascending limb. Why?

Define an action potential. How are the Na+, K+, and Ca+ ions involved in an action potential? How does the myelin speed up its transmission? Define a neurotransmitter. Where are they stored and how do they relay an action potential message from one cell to the next? Define threshold. How do neurotransmitters bring target cells toward or away from threshold. What happens to the response of the target cell if threshold is not reached? What happens if threshold is reached?...
