All are true of myelination EXCEPT
results from wrapping of a glial cell plasma membrane around an axon
causes transmembrane ion exchange across the entire area of the plasma membrane in the axon
restricts Na+/K+ ATPases to only the nodes of an axon
increases transmission speed of action potentials
QUESTION 8
According to the Nernst equation, the equilibrium membrane potential for Na+ in a typical mammalian cell is ______ at 23 degrees ___ at 37 degrees C.
more positive; than
the same; as
less positive; than
less negative; than
more negative; than
QUESTION 9
Opening of which of these would either cause inhibitory postsynaptic potentials or counteract a depolarizing influence given the typical ion distributions of a mammalian cell? Note: to meet these criteria, as long as the channel opening does at least one or another, it fits what's being asked for.
Na+ channels
Ca 2+ channels
K+ channels
Cl- channels
all of the above
B, C, and D
C and D
