12. (a) Using Eq. AQ=CAV and the data in the Table, calculate the number of ions entering the axon during the action potential, per meter of nonmyelinated axon length. (The charge on the ion is 1.6 x 10-19 coulomb.) (b) During the resting state of the axon, typical concentrations of sodium and potassium ions inside the axon are 15 and 150 millimole/liter, respectively. From the data in the Table, calculate the number of ions per meter length of the axon.

. A common cause of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to a buildup of plaque. For instance, significant narrowing in the coronary arteries, which bring oxygenated blood to the heart, can produce symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, and breathlessness.
