Bio3200 Review questions for chapter 8 Part A: Resting Membrane Potential (vm). For this section we will assume a typical distribution of ions inside and outside of cells at 37oC as indicated in Table 8.2 TABLE 8-2 on Concentrations and Equilibrium Potentials a) If a neuron has a Vm of -90 INTRACELLULAR FLUID (mM) Ein AT 37 C mv what specific type(s) of ION EXTRACELLULAR FLUID (mM) channels must it have in its 90 mV 50 mM membrane? If more than one 5 mM (normal range: 3.5-5) type of channel, what would the +60 mV 5 mM relative ratio be like? (Not real Na 145 mM (normal range: numbers, but think about it as: 63 mV mM (range: 5-15 08 mM (normal range: 100-108) a lot, some, a little none) b) If cell has a vm of -70 mv what specific type(s) of channels must it have in its membrane? If a would the relative ratio be like? more than one type of channel, what c) What would happen to the Vm of th cell at -70 mv ifyou add twice as much K+ to the extracellular fluid? d) Lets look at this K+ ion effect closer. The table above (8.2) lists the standard ion concentrations nside and outside of our generic cell. these values, what is the expected Vm for our generic cell? Do the calculation. [Assume the permeability co-efficient for each ion is as follows: PK+ 0.03 PCI. 0.1] 1.0 PNat What is this P value all about? What are the numbers telling you about channel density? e) ok now repeat your calculation for Vm assuming that the EXTERNAL K+ or Na+ ion concentrations (only one at a time) are as listed in the table below (all other ion concentrations are as listed in Table 8.2). Fill in the table with your answers. And Looking at your data ext K+ concn Vm ext Nat conn Vm f What happens to Vm as the K+ concentration goes higher? What would this do to neuronal activity? g) What happens to Vm if Na+ levels go higher? And to neuronal activity [Thought Q: Before we get carried away with Na+ ion will tell you that Nat ions lay a huge role in extracellular concentr happen to the neuron, once we osmolarity. So what might really go to say 200 mM?

Explanation / Answer

1. When the neuron is at resting membrane potential (-70 mV) and the conductance to potassium increases, then the membrane potential will reach -90 mV and becomes hyper polarized.

During hyper-polarization, voltage gated sodium channels open and in turn they open sodium channels. The concentration of K+ will be high and pushes K+ outside but an electrical potential pulls it back into the cell. Therefore, voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels are the key components for generating hyper polarization.

Hence, the correct answers are option (d) and (e).

2. At -70mV the membrane reaches resting membrane potential. During resting membrane potential, all voltage-gated Na+ and all voltage-gated K+ channels are closed. The Na+/K+ transporter pumps K+ ions into the cell and Na+ ions out.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (b).
