Kruse Biology 232 Human Anatomy and Physiology II Nervous II - Neurophysiology Lab Objectives Exercise 18A: Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses: Wet Lab – Read only Exercise 18B: Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses: Computer simulation PhysioEx Exercise 18B: Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses: Computer Simulation We will be performing all activities. Interactive Physiology CD-ROM 1. The Action Potential 2. The Membrane Potential You will need to complete some of this work outside of class. If you do not have a home computer you may use one in the Open Computer Lab.. Read Laboratory Exercise 18 for background information. We will not be performing the described exercise on the frog sciatic nerve The student should be able to recognize, identify and provide a concise functional definition for each of the following terms and structures. 1. Excitability or irritability 2. Conductivity 3. Resting membrane potential 4. Polarized 5. Sodium ion Na+ 6. Potassium ion K+ 7. Polarized 8. Sodium-potassium pump 9. Threshold stimulus 10.
