6. Which factors contribute to the squid axon
Which of the following is the cell type most directly relevant to battling the pathogens the bullet likely carried into the brain of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords? Which of the following is a cell type important for re-myelinating axons in damaged portions of the recovering brain of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords? Which of the following is the cell type interacting with endothelial cells via endfeet in the recovering brain of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords? Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had to remain in the intensive care unit for longer than originally planned because of excessive intracranial pressure. Which of the following is most relevant to the uptake of the fluid responsible for causing this pressure? Which of the following correctly describes how myelination alters the passive properties of the neuronal membrane? Which factors contribute to the squid axon's refractory period? In which of the following ways does the voltage-gated "delayed rectifier" potassium channel in the squid giant axon (i.e. the channel we discussed as important in the action potential) differ from the voltage-gated sodium channels? The proteins that use ATP to establish the ionic gradients responsible for action potentials are part of the larger category of: The example of NaV1.7, mutated in some congenital pain syndromes, provide evidence of all of the following excepta. The voltage clamp technique is most useful for...Explanation / Answer
C. oligodendrocytes
A. Schwann cells
A. Schwann cells
D. astrocytes
D. decreases flux through Na+ channels, thereby speeds up action potential
A. inactivation domain of voltage gated potassium channel; flux through voltage gated sodium channel
A. depolarization causes the sodium channels to inactivate after their activation
E. active transporters
d. different sodium channel genes are redundant, so loss of function of an individual gene has little effect
e. testing whether changing the concentration of an ion influences membrane voltage
