- The branch of the autonomic nervous system that induces the "flight or fight"
response is the_____.
- Two types of examples of excitable cells include _____ and _____ cells.
- The Na/K pump operates by transporting three _____ ions out of the cell while
transporting two
_____ ions into the cell.
- _____-gated ion channels open or close only in response to a change in the nearby
membrane
potential.
- Voltage-gated _____ channels are triggered to open when the resting membrane
potential reaches about _____which is referred to as the _____ potential.
- _____ of Na+ causes _____ of the membrane, which is the first phase of the action
potential.
_____ is an example of a drug that block the opening of Na+ channels, thus blocking
the initiation of neuronal action potentials.
- After the first phase of the action potential, the _____ channels becomes inactivated
while the
_____ channels begin to open.
- This occurs when the membrane potential reaches approximately _____. The
opening of these
channels results in the _____ movement of _____. This second phase of the action
potential is the _____ phase.
- The second phase of the action potential ends when the membrane potential
reaches about _____ which triggers the inactivation of the _____ channels.
- Action potentials travel fastest in axons that are _____ and _____. The fastest
neuronal axon
