6. Fig. 06.09

7. Fig. 06.10a There is a concentration gradient favoring the diffusion of Na+ and K+ through the selectively permeable membrane which has ion channels only for potassium. At the start, is there an electrical driving force?

8. Fig. 06.10b With K+ channels open, K+ diffuses down its concentraiton gradient, leaving behind CL- ions which are not permeable through the membrane. As more and more K+ move to the left, the compartment they leave becomes more and more negatively charged. Is there an electrical driving force?

9. Fig. 06.10c

10. Fig. 06.10d Soon, the accumulation of negative charges seriously impeded the diffusion of K+ as the electrostatic force builds up in opposition to the concentration driving force.

11. Fig. 06.10e Equilibrium potential = Nernst potential = diffusion potential Eventually, the electrostatic force that impedes diffusion of K+ is exactly equal to the driving force favoring diffusion based on a concentration gradient. When these two driving forces are equal and opposite, the membrane potential reaches an equilibrium at which the voltage is called So which compartment corresponds to intracellular fluid? E ion+ = 61/Z log ([conc outside]/ [conc inside]) E K+ = 61/1 log (5/150) E K+ = -90 mV

12. The Nernst Equation If the membrane is permeable to ONLY ONE ion species and you know the concentrations on both sides of the membrane, use the Nernst Equation to calculate the membrane potential. Nernst potential for X = 61/Z log [Outside ] / [Inside] S 2

13. Fig. 06.10e Equilibrium potential = Nernst potential = diffusion potential E ion+ = 61/Z log ([conc outside]/ [conc inside]) E K+ = 61/1 log (5/150) E K+ = -90 mV 150 mM5 mM K+ 50 mM Predict the change in membrane potential if K+ were added to the extracellular fluid. S 1 What hormone regulates the levels of Na+ and K+ in extracellular fluid?

14. Fig. 06.11a S 3 Now consider a situation in which only Na+ is permeable.

17. Fig. 06.11d S 6

18. Fig. 06.11e Equilibrium potential for Na+ E Na+ = 61/1 log (145/15) E Na + = +60 mV 145 mM 15 mM Extracellular Intracellular So, given these concentrations of Na+ and a membrane permeable only to Na+, use Nernst equation to calculate what the membrane potential would be. At the equilibrium potential, no net movement of Na+ because driving forces (concentration and electrical) are exactly equal and opposite. S 7
