RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIALS
* typical RMP value inside the cell, -70mv
* separation of opposite charges that exist across the cell membrane

separation of opposite charges that exist across the cell membrane,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, WHY DOES THIS OCCUR?

1. unequal distribution of ions (Na+ and K+ ions)
2. the selective permeability of the membrane
3. the Na+K+ ATPase pump, pumps 2K+ INTO the cell and 3NA+ OUT of the cell
3
New cards
addition of an inhibitor:
* inhibits the Na+K+ATPase pump
* RMP increases from -70mv to -50mv
4
New cards
POLARISED: charged
RMP = -70mv
5
New cards
DEPOLARISED: reduction in charge
\-70mv to -30mv
6
New cards
HYPERPOLARISED: increase in charge
\-70mv to -90mv
