Nerve impulse is
An electrochemical message Created by the movement of IONS
across the cell membrane (sodium
potassium)

Transmission of a signal THINKING!!!
How is a signal transmitted down/along neuron? All or None response

1- Resting Potential
There is a greater concentration of sodium ionsoutside the neuron & a greater concentration of
potassium ions inside the neuron.
Inside the neuron has a relatively negative
charge.
Resting potential is -65 mV
Think KIN (potassium in)

1- Resting Potential
Resting potential is maintained by thesodium-potassium pumps. (active
transport)

2 Action potential
A) Depolarization - a Stimulus causes the Na+channels to open (change in pH, electric shock,pressure, light)
Na+ ions diffuses into cell
charges reverse at that point on neuron
cell becomes depolarized (+ 40 mV)

How does a nerve impulse travel?
Wave: nerve impulse travels down neuron change in charge opens other Na+ gates
in next section of cell
voltage-gated channels
Na+ ions continue to move into cell
wave moves down neuron = action potential

2- Action Potential
B) Repolarization: K+ channels open up K+ ions diffuse out of cell
Restoration of the same potential as resting (- 65
mV)
Causes the channels to close behind impulse

3- Recovery
After firing a neuron has to re-set itself Na+ needs to move back out
K+ needs to move back in
Sodium Potassium pumps work to re-establish
the ion distribution of resting potential

Action potential - all together!
1. Resting potential2. Stimulus reaches threshold potential3. Na+ channels open; K+ channels closed4. Na+ channels close; K+ channels open
5. Recovery - Na+ / K+ pumps

Myelin sheath
signal
direction
Schwann cells insulate neuron (Na+ / K+ cannot
enter cell)
Na+ / K+ can only enter at the
nodes of ranvier
Increase speed of impulse
signal hops from node to node
150m/sec (330mi/hr)
(vs. 5m/sec)
