Impulse • Investigate what kinds of stimuli stimulate action potential. II. Activity 8: Nerve Conduction Velocity • Determine and compare the conduction velocities of different types of nerves. B. Introduction I. Activity 1-4: Eliciting a Nerve Impulse • In this experiment‚ we will be investigating what stimulates action potential on the nerve being tested on the oscillator. The factors that helped determine action potential are voltage‚ single stimulus‚ Hydrochloric acid‚ sodium

What is an Affirmative Action Program? It is a law‚ program or activity that changes the conditions for any race with a disadvantage in society. Affirmative action strives for diversity in many sectors of the work world‚ education and society. What is the issue? Discrimination is intentional or unintentional bullying to a person of different race‚ sex‚ religion‚ etc... that causes hurt or harm to the individual. The fact that somebody speaks differently or is a different colour does not come

ACTIVITY 1: The Resting Membrane Potential Answers 1. The nervous system contains two general types of cells: neuroglia cells and a. nerves. b. cell bodies. c. neurons. d. nephrons. 2. The resting membrane potential of the neuron in this lab under the control conditions was _______ mV. 3. True or False: For most neurons‚ the concentration of Na+ and K+ ions inside and outside the cell are the primary factors that determine the resting membrane potential. 4. Explain why increasing the

ACTIVITY 1: THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? When the diffusion is greater on one side‚ the other side will slow down. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your predictions? There are two potassium’s for every sodium so the increase of potassium will make it more

“A Civil Action” by Jonathan Harr What is the difference between a criminal and a civil case? Criminal cases require that a verdict be made without a “shadow of doubt‚” but in civil cases that is not the case. Professor Nesson in “A Civil Action” states that civil cases only need around 51 percent to determine liability. This book was a very interesting read because it takes us through the different parts of a civil trial and how the case even got started. It is especially important to consider

screen with 1.0 volts? No a flat line was observed 2. What was the threshold voltage‚ or the voltage at which you first saw an action potential? 3.0 volts 3. How do the tracings generated with higher voltages compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? The tracings traveled in the same fashion but had a higher peak of the action potential as you increased the threshold voltage 4. What reason can you give for the change? The increase in voltage creates the nerve to

Staining is a chemical technique that caused nerve cells to become colored so they stood out from surrounding tissue * A way of electricity is transmitted in groups of neurons‚ such
