experiment three: effect of temperature on neurons
DESCRIPTION
Experiment Three: Effect of Temperature on Neurons. Ion channels transport Na+ and K+ across neural membrane. Action potentials (“spikes”) are generated by sodium ion (Na+) infusion depolarizing the cell membrane and potassium ion (K+) expulsion repolarizing it. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Ion channels transport Na+ and K+ across neural membrane
Action potentials (“spikes”) are generated by sodium ion (Na+) infusion depolarizing the cell membrane and potassium ion (K+) expulsion repolarizing it.

Ion channels will not open if temperature too low

Ion channels and nerve membranes come apart if
temperature too high

Procedures: Put the cockroach in a jar of ice water
![Page 6: Experiment Three: Effect of Temperature on Neurons](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815ce7550346895dcaec70/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Procedures: Cut off one of roach’s legs near the body
(Put petroleum jelly on exposed wound on body and leg, return cockroach to house, leg will grow back if cockroach not full grown adult)

Procedures: Place leg on cork of SpikerBox, with a bit of leg
overhang

Procedures: Put one electrode in the femur and the other in the
coxa

Exercise 1: Cool the preparation and identify temperature at which
neural spikes go away
You can also use a cooler of dry ice
Note that active refridgerators can be very electrically noisy
though..you may want to unplug the
cold freezer

Exercise 2: Heat system and identify temperature at which neurons discharge

Tabulate heat and cold limits for different legs of different species
