New cards

Why does the signaling acitivty consists of nervous sytem is made up of electrical acitivty within neurons and chemical flow between neurons?

neurotransmitter causes electrical activity ub anotehr neuron and that eelctrical activity 3ill release that 2nd neurons neurotransmitters and so on

39
New cards

Nerve impulses

How did scintests now that neuron function is dependant on electrical activity?

about 200 years ago they remoevd mucle from dead animals and passed electric current trhough it the scientets discioovered taht teh current cause dthe msucle to contacr just as it didi in life since then teh scientest have laerned a great deal about neurons structure, and nuerons affect oteh rparts of the body such as muscles

40
New cards

scienetets have learned that …… function is dependant on ….. …..

neuron, electrical activity

41
New cards

Do all cells have electrical charges?

yes they do

42
New cards

all cells including neurons have electrical charges inside teh cell that is … from the electrical charge outside of the cell

difrent

43
New cards

what is membrane potential

Its the diffrence in …… …. Acros the …. …..

electrical charge, cell membrane

44
New cards

membrane potentials are produced by the?

movement of ions acros the cell membrane

45
New cards

The movement of ions acros teh cell membrane depedns on three thjings

…. Of the ions to …. Through the cell membrane

…. Opf ions inside and outside of the cell

… …. Of the ions as with batteries membrane potentials is expressed as …….

ability to diffuse

Concentration

Electrical charges, voltage

46
New cards

Difrence betwen action potential and membrane potentials is that

membrane potyential is the voltage at any moment

But action piotential is a rapid temporary changem, whena. Neuron is stimulated enough

47
New cards

how do ions diffuse accros a neurons cell membrane?

by passing through protiens thata ct as iion channels

48
New cards

each type of chanal allows ….. …. Ions to pass

only specific

49
New cards

certain channeles are …. Gate dthat is these channerls are open or closed depending on the ….. …..

volrtag, membrane potential

50
New cards

even a small change in …… …. Can affect the permeability of the cell to certain ions

Membrane potentials

51
New cards

As ions enter and move out of the neuron they in tuyrn affect the ….. ……

membranepotenial

52
New cards

membrane potential is teh diffrence ofvoltage between inside and outside dont forget

53
New cards

When in rest outside is …. And inside is …..

when we snese something then outside is …. And inside is …..

positeve, negative

Negative, positeve

54
New cards

if it were negative inside and outside then?

we wont really be able to sense anytrhing

55
New cards

we have resting potential

56
New cards

resting potential is teh electrica;l potentiala cross the .. …. Of a …. Cell or …. Cell when the cell is not active

cell membrane, nerve, muscle cell

57
New cards

is it just nerve cell and musclec ell?

nope its also gland cell

58
New cards

the resting potential in MOST neurons is about

-70 milli volts

59
New cards

concentration of protiens which are negative and potasium and sodium when at rest? what made that k and na diffrence?

in a neuron at rest, protien and potasium r greater inside than outside, bt na is greater outside

Its partly because thej action fo sodium potasium pump that kciks sodium out and brings potasium in

60
New cards

the cell membrane is pemeable to some ions bnut not to otehrs at rest for example

Na ions dont readly diffuse ithroguh the mmebrane sop they acumelate outside teh cell

Negative charged protiens stay inside cuz they are too big to exit

Potasium how ever at rest they can pass freely through the membrane and tend to difuse out of the cell

61
New cards

that freely moving potasium that tends to go outside causes?

Taht charge diffrence between outside and inside where inside is negative is called?

the inside to become negative cuz of the protiens there, and its negative in respect to outside, Resting potential of the membrane

62
New cards

for that reason the …. ….. at rest is called ……..

( not teh cell membrane itself rather its the diffrence accros it)

cell membrane, polarization

63
New cards

The potasium channels are mostly ……

closed

64
New cards

we have action potential

65
New cards

the action potential starts where the …. ….. joins the …..

cell body, axon

66
New cards

1-when a ….. or ….. is stimulated the permeabilty of the neurons membrane changes suddenly

dendrite, cell body

67
New cards

at that point of stimulation the cell membrane becomes permeable to … ions

Na

68
New cards

2 the rush of na ion sinto the cells opens …. Gated sodium channels in the membrane to allow even more na into the neuron

voltage

69
New cards

3- as a result the interior of the nruons cell becomes more …… charged than the exterior this ….. of …… acros the membrane begins an …. ……

negativly, reversal of polarization, action potential

70
New cards

4- voltage gated sodium channels exist along The length of the ….

As a neuron is stimulated and the first small segment of the axon becomes positevly charged, teh change in voltage gated sodium channels open sodium channels in the …. ……of axon membrane

axon , next segment

71
New cards

5- na ions enter driving the voltage in ….. direction and opneing ….. ….. in the next segment of the axon

positeve, sodium channels

72
New cards

6- in this way positeve charges pass down teh axon membrane liek dominoes falling in a row

73
New cards

7- axon potehtaials travel in one direction only … from the cell body where they begin and toward the axon terminal

away

74
New cards

8- shortly after they are opened teh volatge gated for …. Close then voltage gated channels for … openm the result is an abrupt …… flow of … ions, this leads to exterior of the cell again becomes …… charged with respect to the interior of the cell this is called …….

sodiums, ions, , outward, k , positevlty, repolarization

75
New cards

so sodium makes …. Positeve while potasium makes …… positeve

inside, outside

76
New cards

Proper notes

Where is teh action potential really starting?

Its stimulus dendderites/cellbody axoninitialsegment actionpotentialsatrts travelsdownaxo axonterminal

All teh entering of the potasium and etc starts at the initial segments

Denderites stimulated they have their own potential called graded potential if that graded potential ereaches the first segment axon and its able to open lets say 3 channels fo sodium and enough sodium enters to make an action potyential then cuz of that potential more potasium ions open then it starts going down as a domino

And after the domino is past volatge gated channels potasium is pumped out going back to step 1

So when the main streak comes the potasium starts and teh main streak goes the potasium causes the streak there

The first egment of teh axon

77
New cards

Action potential stops( as in its peak) at how much milivolts?

Starts at hiow much?

+40, -60

78
New cards

both depo and repo are parts of ….. potential

action

79
New cards

during depo k and na pumps? repo?

So do we ever have them open at the same time?

na is open k is closed, its opposite, nope

80
New cards

do all channels open at the same time?

no they open in an order

81
New cards

when the na enters it starts opening channels in the? And it starts to drive the potential to?

Next segments, positeve

82
New cards
term image

ion channels, sodium potasum pumps

89
New cards

sodium potasium moves …. Out and moves … inside once the resting potential is restored the neuron is rdy?

at 55/60 and ends at 70

94
New cards
<p>We have teh big pictiure </p><p>Area 1 and area 7 have the same rules </p><p>In location two very vew ….. channels open </p><p>When does sodium channels begin to close and potasium begin to open? </p><p></p><p></p>
