Eаch thоrаcic vertebrаe has оne pair оf ribs that attaches to it laterally.
This WAS gоing tо be аn аpplicаtiоn discussion but we had too many and I cut it out, so THINK through this: The value of threshold for a particular cell, like a neuron, depends on the characteristics of voltage-gated ion channels so it is not a modifiable value. What is modifiable is the value of resting membrane potential (RMP) which can be depolarized or hyperpolarized by allowing greater amounts of ions to diffuse across the plasma membrane into or out of the cell. In some cells like conductive cardiomyocytes (heart cells that generate action potentials at regular intervals and determine our heart rate), depolarizing or hyperpolarizing RMP occurs to raise or lower heart rate, respectively. Sounds, great, right? Not always... We consume the ions in question here, like Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-, etc. that are able to influence RMP and the ability of our excitable cells to excite. So, our cells need these ions to be maintained within homeostatic range or things can go VERY wrong. When ion concentrations raise or lower out of homeostatic range, we have a problem. One relatively rare but potentially deadly disturbance is called hyperkalemia (excess K+ in the extracellular fluid). Causes of hyperkalemia are anything from kidney failure or drugs that cause your kidneys to remove less K+ from the body (kidneys retain Na+ in exchange for excreting K+ by targeting the Na+/K+-ATPase activity) to dehydration. Explain how hyperkalemia might impact RMP in neurons. Include in your answer how this impacts the excitability of neurons (would they become hyperexcitable or hypoexcitable and how?) Think about electrochemical gradients and threshold here. How that might the body as a whole?
