Reference no: EM13357162

Explain a resting nerve cell membrane, sodium-potassium pump, action potential and what wil happen if sodium channels were blocked.

1.Explain briefly what it means when a nerve cell is resting.

2. Describe sodium-potassium pump.

3. Assume that a membrane is at resting potential and a stimulus is received thereby triggering an impulse. Describe briefly what would (or would not) happen if the passive Na+ channels were blocked and only the passive K+ channels remained open.

4.Define the term action potential.
