Question 1
Question
Which of the following statements are false
Answer
-
Membrane permeability to Ca2+ is very high
-
The membrane is not very permeable to K+ ions
-
Permeability to Na+ is 20% that for K+
-
The ease with which the ion passes through the membrane is referred to as conductivity (C)
-
If the conductance for an ion increases, the ion will pass through the membrane and a current will flow
Question 2
Answer
-
Positive
-
negative
-
positive
-
positive
-
positive
-
positive
Question 3
Question
Which of the following statements are true?
Answer
-
The resting membrane potential in contractile cells of the atria and ventricles is about -70mV
-
The inside of the cell is positively charged in relation to the outside of the cell
-
The resting membrane potential is primarily due to two things; the high concentration of potassium ions in the intracellular fluid and the high permeability of the cell membrane K+ ions as compared to other ions
-
The resting membrane potential is close to the equilibrium potential for sodium

4
Question 5
Question
Which of the following are the events of phase 0 - upstroke
Answer
-
Potential reaches threshold: –65 mV
-
Membrane’s ionic permeability suddenly changes
-
Cell rapidly depolarises and over shoots to a positive potential of +40mV
-
At the threshold potential, voltage sensitive potassium channels open very quickly
Question 6
Question
The membrane potential does not reach the equilibrium potential of sodium because the outward [blank_start]potassium[blank_end] current is still flowing
Answer
-
potassium
Question 7
Question
In early repolarisation why is the overshoot brief?
Answer
-
Fast sodium channels that are self inactivating decreases conductance of sodium
-
Fast potassium channels that are self inactivating decrease conductance of potassium
-
Voltage sensitive sodium channels quickly close
-
Voltage sensitive potassium channels quickly close
Question 8
Question
Within a couple of milliseconds the membrane voltage repolarises a few mV, owing to an outward current of
Answer
-
Calcium ions
-
potassium ions
-
sodium ions
