Document Summary

Spring 2010 - exam 1: once an action potential has begun, for a short period of time a second action potential cannot be triggered, no matter how large the stimulus. Questions 19 to 27 refer to cells with the following intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations. Solution a is 10 mm urea, and solution b is 5 mm urea. Short answer: an infrequent, but potentially life-threatening complication of some anesthetics is called malignant hyperthermia. It is marked by marked rigidity of the skeletal muscles (sustained generalized contraction) and hypermetabolism (increased atp usage, oxygen usage, blood flow, and metabolic heat production) with attendant high body temperatures. It is associated with high myoplasmic (muscle cytoplasm) concentrations of ca . The syndrome is unaffected by drugs that ++ block the acetylcholine receptor such as curare and by drugs that affect the fast sodium channels (i. e. , those responsible for depolarization during action potentials) such as tetrodotoxin.
