The air-conditioning capacity of the human nose.

abstract：:We have studied the dependence of conduction velocity (theta) on extracellular potassium concentration ([K+]o) in a model of one-dimensional conduction using an idealized strand of human atrial cells. Elevated [K+]o in the 5-20 mM range shifts the resting potential (Vrest) in the depolarizing direction and reduces inp...
