Answer True or False for each of the following: A. a neuronal synapse, facilitation of a post -synaptic response results because of an accumulation of calcium ions from previous pre-synaptic cell action potentials. B. In general, chemical synapses are limited because the signal they produce is “all-or-none” and cannot be significantly modified to reflect a difference in sensory. C.

True or False Questions 1. The equilibrium potential of an ion will affect the membrane potential of the cell if the permeability for that ion is zero. (T/F) 2. When there is only one ion permeability and the cell is at rest, then Eion = Vrest (T/F) 3. In a generic neuron, Vrest is positive and close to Ek (T/F) 4. the three ions that have biggest contribution to Vm value are K+, Na+ and Cl- (T/F) 5. In a generic cell, the concentration of Na+ is larger outside than inside (T/F) 6. In a generic cell, the concentration of Cl- is lower outside than inside (T/F) 7. A cell at rest only has 2 types of ion permeabilities (where P ion_1 = 1 and P ion_2 =1) the concentration gradients of the two ion types have the same magnitude but opposite polarity (Assume both types of ions have the same valence). Thus, Vm = 0 mV (T/F)
