Decreasing the extracellular concentration of K+ affects the restingmembrane potential by causinga. hyperpolarization.b. depolarization.c. no change.
The resting membrane potential results fromA. uneven distribution of ions across the cell membrane only.B. differences in membrane permeability to Na+ and K+ onlyC. activity of the sodium/potassium pump only.D. uneven distribution of ions across the cell membrane, differences in membrane permeability to Na+ and K+, and sodium/potassium pump activity
Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement. a. The resting membrane potential refers to the voltage difference across the membranes of excitable cells at rest. b. The concentration of Na+ is highest in the cytosol, and the concentration of K+ is highest in the extracellular fluid. c. The Na+>K+ pumps and gated channels maintain the Na+ and K+ gradients necessary for action potentials to occur. d. A depolarization is a change in membrane potential that makes the potential less negative. e. A local potential is a change in membrane potential that conducts the long-distance signals of the nervous system
