- Hyperkalemia is a condition by which ECF potassium levels become too high (usually due to kidney failure). Consider the following questions about the consequence of hyperkalemia on membrane potential. How would hyperkalemia affect EK? Considering your answer to the previous question, how would hyperkalemia affect membrane potential?arrow_forwardWhich of the following BEST explains the inside negative potential in resting neurons? sodium flows down its electrochemical gradient through sodium-selective channels that are open in resting neurons membrane transporters produce a large sodium concentration gradient by selectively accumulating sodium ions outside the cell the membrane of a resting neuron is more permeable to potassium ions than to other ions present a larger concentration of chloride ions are found inside the cell making the inside of the cell more negative compared to the outside of the cellarrow_forwardWhen the membrane voltage shifts from the RMP to a more negative voltage; this is a depolarization repolarization hyperpolarization polarizationarrow_forward

All of these are correctly matched. Phase 1 – sodium movement into the cell Phase 3 – potassium movement into the cell Phase 2 – sodium movement out of the cellarrow_forwardIf potassium permeability increases the cell depolarizes the cell hyperpolarizes voltage gated ion channels open an action potential occurs more than one of the above is correctarrow_forward
- All of the following are true for neurons EXCEPT neurons must produce many proteins neurons are electrically excitable cells neurons have a relatively high consumption of oxygen neurons undergo mitosisarrow_forwardThe membrane potential caused by differences in ions across the plasma membrane of an electrically excitable cell (when not stimulated) is called: action potential resting membrane potential graded potential local potentialarrow_forwardWhat happens to the membrane potential inside and outside of the cell when Na+ channels are open?arrow_forward
