Question
Chapter 14, Problem 48CAQ
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Many people die in their unheated apartments due to hypothermia. The definition of hypothermia and its harmful effects on the body.
Introduction:
The temperature of the body is under the control of hypothalamus, which is situated in the brain. It controls the temperature by starting the heat-loss and heat-promoting actions in the body. Increase in the body temperature above the normal range is called hyperthermia and decrease in temperature below the range is known as hypothermia.

Almost immediately, the man noticed that his lips and tongue felt numb. Within a few minutes, the man began to show a lack of coordination and skeletal muscle control. Within several more minutes, the man experienced difficulty breathing and symptoms of cardiac arrest. Eventually, the man dies. The newt's skin has tetrodotoxin in it. Tetrodotoxin is produced by rough-skinned newts as a form of defense against predation. Tetrodotoxin specifically blocks the sodium pore in voltage-gated sodium channels. It does not affect the gates of a voltage-gated sodium channel. The toxin has no other effects.We will use one bipolar neuron to answer the following questions. This neuron has a resting membrane potential of -65mV. 1) true/false While under the effect of tetrodotoxin, the man's neurons would be able to reach threshold potential at their initial segments. 2) true/false The…arrow_forward
