Chapter 4, Problem 1TAHL

The rate at which the ${\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}-{\text{K}}^{+}$ pump operates is not constant but is controlled by a combined effect of changes in ICF ${\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}$ concentration and ECF ${\text{K}}^{+}$ concentration. Do you think the changes in both ICF ${\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}$ and ECF ${\text{K}}^{+}$ concentration following a series of action potentials in a neuron would accelerate, slow down, or have no effect on the ${\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}-{\text{K}}^{+}$ pumps in this cell?
