In an experiment you artificially cut in half (-50% reduction) the number of voltage gated sodium channels that are located on the membrane of the axon hillock. 1.) Which of the following is the most likely result of this experimental manipulation? A. Summation of more IPSPS would be required for an action potential to occur B. This change would have no effect on the value required to reach threshold C. Even with a very large number of summating EPSPS it would be impossible for an action potential to occur D. The value to reach threshold would be higher (more positive) making it less likely for an aetion potential to occur E. All of the above statements are FALSE The made-up drug Jeakyhoss degrades myelin resulting in myelin becoming more porous and therefore a poor insulator. 2.) Which of the following would NOT be an effect of leakykose? A. Propagation of the action potential would likely alow B. The action potential may degrade because it can't properly be regenerated C. The action…

The velocity of spike propagation is proportional to the following combination of factors: 1 a C, V R„R, m Where a is the radius of the axon, Rm and R; are specific resistances of the membrane and the internal buffer, respectively. If we double the radius and simultaneously increase the concentration of salt inside the axon twice (i.e. R; decreases two times), by how many fold will the velocity change?

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.
