Would anyone be able to explain these different channels? I would like an explanation as to why voltage gated membranes are associated with axon membranes (although it's prob because of membrane potential differences and depolarization/hyperpolarization?), why ligand gated channels are primarily at synapses (via neurotransmitters?), etc.

If a potassium channel is held open for even longer, leading to an even bigger hyperpolarization of the cell what will happen in an afferent neuron? action potentials will have a larger amplitude action potentials will have a small amplitude less frequent action potentials in the neuron more frequent action potentials in the neuron
Which of the following are TRUE, when describing the Action Potential of a Non- Contractile Cardiac Pacemaker cell? Select ALL that are true. O Resting membrane potential is more polarized than in neurons, because of more Leakage channels for K+. Progressive Na+ channel (the "funny current", iNa) opening, activates a Transient Voltage Sensitive (T-type) Ca++ channel. Together these channels depolarize the membrane and activate Voltage-Sensitive Long-acting (L-Type) Ca++ channel. The resulting depolarization, closes the "funny" current and T-type Ca++ channels. O Action Potential depolarization, resulting from the Voltage-Activated Na+ channel, triggers Voltage-Sensitive Long-acting (L-Type) Ca++ channel. OMembrane depolarization triggers Voltage-Activated K+ channels (Delayed Rectifier) to open. Increasing K+ permeability and repolarizing the membrane. When the membrane polarizes to -60 mv, the Delayed Rectifier closes and a progressive Na+ channel (the "funny current", iNa) opens. The…
