Document Summary

Problem set #3: a neuron is extracted from a physiologically normal body and placed in a fluid with ionic concentrations that are 20% less than that of the physiological extracellular fluid. By way of explanation for this question, the key is that permeability does not change but ena and driving force of sodium does. Nope, aps are all or none and the amplitude is dictated by ena: you are a pediatrician. Distressed parents bring in their 12 year old son who is suffering from severe strabismus (misalignment of the eyes due to lack of coordination of the ocular muscles, cross eyes). After careful evaluation you determine that one of the eye muscles controlling his left eye is perpetually contracting. You decide the best course of action is to treat the area with periodic injections of botox (botunlinum toxin). Answer: botunlinum toxin cleaves snare proteins in the motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction.
