BIOL 361 Study Guide - Final Guide: Membrane Potential
Document Summary
This week"s pre-reading is a selection of sections from chapter 5, detailed below. The pre-reading and homework questions for this week close at 7:59 a. m. on thursday, january 16th. This section covers some more difficult topics that we will spend a good bit of time on in class.

What are the absolute and relative refractory periods: table 5. 1: differences between graded potentials and action potentials" (2nd edition, table. 4. 1: figure 5. 12: the phases of a typical action potential" (2nd edition figure 4. 10): think back to the effects of opening na+ and k+ channels on membrane potential (you read about it earlier in this pre-reading).
