Chapter 48.3, Problem 4CC

WHAT IF? → Suppose a mutation caused gated sodium Channels to remain inactivated longer after an action potential. How would this affect the frequency at which action potentials could be generated? Explain.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
In terms of Na and K ion gradient /movement - what causes the action potential (positive charge peak) inside the cell membrane? - What are the approximate Na and K concentration changes (mMoles) during /after the action potential and what is the directional move of each ion in relation to the cell membrane? - What is the duration of an action potential ? or....over what period of time does the peak rise and fall ? - use proper units.
Give typed explanation
Separately, draw a table using arrows to depict the appropriate magnitude and direction of the forces and ion fluxes at different membrane potentials for a ligand-gated channel that is equally permeable to both ion X+ and ion Y+.   The equilibrium potential for ion X+ is -60 mV, and the equilibrium potential for ion Y+ is -20 mV.   Which item best represents the forces and fluxes for a membrane potential of -40 mV?
