Physiology & Pathophysiology Module 1- Membrane Physiology & Action Potentials (Long) Questions And Answers (A+ Grade) 1. Explain the structure of the membrane - ANS-Cell Membranes are composed primarily of lipids and proteins. Lipids consist of phospholipids, cholesterol, glycolipids - high permeability of membranes to lipid soluble substances (CO2, fatty acids, steroid hormones). Lips are also responsible to the low permeability of water-soluble molecules (ions, glucose, amino acid...

BIPN 100 EXAM 4 (CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIALS/EKG AND SMOOTH MUSCLES) SOLVED 100% CORRECT!!

action potential can be generated by virtually all cells of the body because all cells possess cell membranes - ANSWERfalse, only cells with excitable membranes such as nervous and muscle cells can generate action potential Nodes of Ranvier are only found on myelinated, peripheral neural processes - ANSWERtrue efferent nerve fibers may be described as motor nerve fibers - ANSWERtrue a positive feedback cycle is the main force in the generation of graded potentials at receptor ends - ANS...

Neuron Structure - dendrites, cell body, axon dendrites - short, highly branched signal receptive regions of the nerve cell. Convey incoming message toward cell bodies each nerve cell (neuron) has only one - axon axon - impulse generating and conducting region of neuron myelin sheath - Whitish fatty protein layer that protects and electrically insulates the axon. Increases the speed of transmission of nerve impulses myelin sheath is only associated with - axons, not dendrites what determ...
