Neuron D and neuron E interact with neuron F. Neuron D will produce an EPSP of 3mV in neuron F; neuron E will produce an IPSP of -2mV in neuron F. The resting membrane potential in neuron F is -70mV and the threshold potential is -50mV.

Neuron D fires rapidly 3 times; simultaneously neuron E fires 6 times.

The resulting membrane potential in neuron F is

Answer #1

So the membrane will be hyperpolarized due to net negative signal by neurons D and E on F.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any query.

Best wishes!!

Animal Physiology Question Chemical messages bind to 10 ligand-gated ion channels on the dendrites and cell body of a motor neuron. At the axon hillock, 5 of these ligands produce excitatory graded potentials (i.e. depolarizing, called EPSPs) of 5mV each and the other 5 produce inhibitory graded potentials (i.e. hyperpolarizing, called IPSPs) of 2mV each. The threshold potential of this neuron is -55mV (resting membrane potential is -70mV). Will an action potential be produced? Assume that all impulses get to...

A neuron became unable to produce an Action Potential after being treated with a drug that inhibits adenylate cyclase. What must be true about this neuron? a. It is a sensory (afferent) neuron. b. It is a motor (efferent) neuron. c. The neuron’s membrane contains receptors that are ion channels. d. The neuron’s membrane contains receptors that will activate a G protein-linked cascade when bound to the neurotransmitter. e. The neurotransmitter directly promotes rapid changes in its membrane potential.

Voltage-gated cation channels in the plasma membrane of a neuron open when the membrane potential passes a threshold value that is about 20 mV above the resting potential. This corresponds to a change of about 4 × 106 newtons per coulomb in the magnitude of the electric field across the membrane compared to the resting state. The tetrameric channels have a voltage-sensing helix S4 in each of their four subunits. Most S4 helices contain seven residues with positively charged side...
