A pancreatectomy can be performed as a treatment for pancreatic cancer, pancreatic tumors (pre-malignant), chronic pancreatitis, or when the pancreas has been severely damaged by injury. Removing part of or the entire pancreas may cause a loss of pancreatic digestive enzyme production, leading to EPI.
Question: When a nerve fiber is polarized, the concentration... When a nerve fiber is polarized, the concentrationof: A. sodium and potassiumions is higher on the inside of its membrane. B. sodium ions is higher on the inside of its membrane and potassium ions are higher on the outside.
Normally when nerves are not firing they are polarized; negative charge on the inside, positive charge on the outside. When enough positive ions cross the membrane it causes the cell/nerve to depolarizes (change its negative/positive charge at the membrane of the cell.nerve)...in your case the nerve.
