The blood-brain barrier is not effective against which of the following?

At which points on the diagram is the activation gate of the voltage-gated sodium channel open?

Take the following hypothetical cell: ICF concentrations are 35 mM KCl and 60 mM NaCl. ECF concentrations are 20 mMKCl and 100 mM NaCl. The membrane is 3.5 times more permeable to K+ than to Na+. What would the equilibrium potential for potassium be?

During which phase of the cardiac cycle are all four heart valves open?

How would vigorous exercise affect mean arterial pressure?

True or false: The initiation of movement is accomplished by the cerebral cortex.

Take the following hypothetical cell: ICF concentrations are 35 mM KCl and 60 mM NaCl. ECF concentrations are 20 mMKCl and 100 mM NaCl. The membrane is 3.5 times more permeable to K+ than to Na+. What would the total membrane potential be?

Is the increased opening of L-type calcium channels a direct result of increased cAMP in contractile cardiac cells?

Is the increased speed of enzymatic activity of myosin ATPase a direct result of increased cAMP in contractile cardiac cells?

Dr. Hansen goes to the doctor for her routine annual physical. The exam begins with the nurse taking her vitals. Her blood pressure is 102/71. Her heart is beating 73 times per minute. Prior to each contraction, there is 160 ml of blood in her left ventricle, and 55 ml remains in the ventricle after the heart contracts. What is Dr. Hansen’s cardiac output?
