- Let's say you are at the dentist and you need numbing, so Lidocaine is used. Ahhh, you feel nothing. The reason you feel nothing is because the Lidocaine blocks K channels from opening O blocks the sodium channel from opening correctly uses chlorine to hyperpolarize the membrane stops Ca from reaching the nervearrow_forwardSome have compared the "all or none" action potential to flushing a toilet. The absolute refractory period (when no amount of pressing the lever will produce another flush) is set by: the inactivation of voltage gated potassium channels the inactivation of voltage gated sodium channels the opening of voltage gated sodium channels the inactivation of voltage gated chloride channelsarrow_forwardWhen a visual pigment absorbs photons of light, it changes its molecular shape and at the same time releases energy. The release sets off a chain of chemical events leading to an electrical signal. The last event described is ________. transduction integration conduction stimulationarrow_forward
- Classify the given items with the appropriate group. Neuron is hyperpolarized Occurs when voltage-gated sodium channels have returned to resting state No amount of stimulus will initiate a second action potential Ensures that the action potential moves down the axon in only one direction Voltage-gated sodium channels are opened then closed in the inactivated state Occurs about 1 millisecond after an action potential Relative Refractory Period Absolute Refractive Periodarrow_forwardCardiac muscle cells have a longer refractory period than skeletal muscle cells. This ensures that the heart is able to relax between contractions. What would happen if the heart were not able to relax between contractions? The heart would no longer pump blood – because without relaxation, the heart cannot fill with blood. No change in heart function – contractions are the important part. The heart would pump more blood out with each heartbeat.arrow_forwardThe diagram in Figure 5 shows the difference between negative feedback and positive feedback. Negative feedback Receptor Effector Departure from Return to resting level Resting level Positive feedback Further departure from resting level Receptor Effector Departure from Resting level FIGURE 5 Explain why negative feedback is important in homeostasis.
