Answer:

-35 mV and +56 mV

Explanation:

The membrane potential is the energy that is needed to drive membrane changes across the phospholipid bi-layer membrane.

Ions can move in and out of the cell through protein channels. The movement of the ions is as a result of concentration that affect the operation of ion gates.

The reverse potential is given by the Nernst equation:

E_{ion} = \frac{RT}{zF} ln\frac{ion_{outside} }{ion_{inside} }

where, R = gas constant

            T = temperature (Kelvin)

             z = ion charge

             F = Faraday's charge

The potential is calculated and the result is -35 mV and +56 mV respectively.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system has 3 divisions. One of them is the  parasympathetic nervous system. The function of this system is to conserve energy by slowing down the heart rate, it also increases intestinal and gland activity and relaxes sphincter muscles. parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.

While the sympathetic system prepares the body for high-energy activity, the parasympathetic nervous system relaxes the body and inhibits  many high energy functions.

In this example, Paul was awakened frightened but he realized it was only the cat. The subdivision of the nervous system that helped him calm down and restore his function's back to normal would've been the parasympathetic system since it's the one in charge of relaxing the body.
