What is the effect of lidocaine on eliciting an action potential?
Ether prevents the action potential, by opening potassium ion pores, which allows the escape of potassium from the neurons, which results in hyper-polarization of the neuron, thus preventing the action potential from occurring.
What is the effect of curare on eliciting an action potential?
it is an alpha-toxin that binds to acetylcholine binding sites on the postsynaptic cell membrane, which prevents the acetylcholine from acting. Curare blocks synaptic transmission by preventing neural impulses to flow from neuron to neuron. It does allow the action potential to travel in the axon, it just doesn't pass it on to the dendrite.
What would be the effect on action potential conduction at a region of axon where the disease had its effect?
Depends on disease
What has the author Archibald Ross McIntyre written?
Archibald Ross McIntyre has written: 'The mechanism of the action of extract of the posterior lobe of the pituitary body on the secretion of urine in the unanaesthetized dog' -- subject(s): Physiological effect, Pituitary extract, Urination, Dogs, Physiology 'Curare' -- subject(s): Curare
What effect did an ether have on action potential?
Ether blocked the impulse transmission.
What the Effect of ouabain drug on a neuron ability to generate action potential?
what effect does the drug quabain have on neuron
What effect does hypocalcemia have on the cardiac action potential?
It can prolong the cardiac action potential. It can also have other effects, such as torsades de pointes,and it can mask digitalis toxicity.
What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.
What was the effect of ether on elicciting an action potential?
Ether causes potassium ion pores to open, allowing potassium ions to leave the neuron, hyper-polarizing the neuron so it is unable to fire an action potential.
How does the effect of lidocaine differ from the effect of TTX?
They both decrease action potential duration, but TTX is the only one that decreases the maximum rate of depolarization.
What effect does adrenaline have on gut smooth muscle?
It makes the muscle totally relax as it blocks the action potential in the nerves.
Why does tetrodotoxin effect your muscles?
It blocks the sodium channels that are required to create action potential in the muscles to make them contract.
