![Page 2: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Membrane potential – + outside, - insideCaused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na+)
outside the membrane than inside (K+)Polarized
All living cells maintain a membrane potential
Positive charges outside membrane attracts negative charges inside membrane.
-70 charge inside membrane
![Page 3: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
(RMP)- When neuron is not conducting signals.
Normally -70mV because of negatively charged proteins inside neuron which cannot cross the cell membrane
Caused b/c some K+ channels are open at rest so + ions are moving outside the cell creating the positive charge on the outside of the cell.
![Page 4: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Gated channels allow for the movement of Na+ and K+ down their concentration gradient at rest.
(Na+ in, K+ out)Sodium-potassium pumps use ATP to move Na+
and K+ against their concentration gradient after an action potential.
![Page 5: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. What causes the membrane of cells to have a membrane potential (a charge)?
2. What is the resting membrane potential inside a cell at rest?
3. Which ions are involved in maintaining RMP?
![Page 6: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
When a neuron is transmitting an electrical signal along the membrane.
Involves movement of Na+, K+, and Cl- in and out of the cell membrane.
![Page 7: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. When stimulus is enough to reach the threshold potential (-55 mV) voltage-gated Na+ channels open.
2. As Na+ enters the cell it causes a wave of depolarization.
3. Action potential peaks at +30mV and Na+ channels close. K+ channels then open to let K+ out of the cell.
4. After brief hyperpolarization (charge dips below -70mV), resting potential is restored by means of the sodium-potassium pump (Na+ out/K+ in).
![Page 8: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Threshold is met.
1. Na+ channels open.
2. Na+ rushes in.
6. Brief hyperpolarization.
7. Sodium-potassium pump balancing out ions.
3. Na+ channels close
4. K+ channels open
5. K+ rushes out.

![Page 9: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Absolute Refractory period- half a millisecond after stimulation the membrane will not respond to any stimulus.
Relative Refractory period- the membrane will respond only to very strong stimuli.
Refractory period ensures that action potential onlytravels in one direction!!

Some, like benzocaine, block the opening of Na+ channels.
How does this prevent pain transmission???

4. What is an action potential?
5. What is the difference between depolarization and repolarization?
6. During which refractory period can a neuron not be stimulated?

Synapse- the junction where signals are transmitted from the presynaptic neuron to a postsynaptic neuron or to an effector (muscle or gland)
![Page 13: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Electrical SynapseAllows for continuous
flow of action potentialFound in cardiac &
smooth muscles
Chemical SynapseUse neurotransmitters
to send signal from pre- to postsynaptic cell.
Found in nervous system
![Page 14: “Nerve Impulses”. Membrane potential – + outside, - inside Caused b/c slightly more positive ions (Na + ) outside the membrane than inside (K + ) Polarized](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e665503460f94b60bee/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. Action potential reaches the synaptic knob of the telodendria (structures at the tips of the branches of axon that contain neurotransmitter) and causes Ca++ channels to open.
2. Ca++ rushes into the cell (neuron) triggering the movement of neurotransmitter vesicles to the synaptic knob membrane where they fuse with the membrane.
3. Once released, the neurotransmitters bind to the postsynaptic neuron’s receptors on its dendrites.
4. The opening of ion channels (K+ and Na+) can then cause a postsynaptic potential

Excitatory neurotransmitters Cause both Na+ and K+ channels to
open up Na+ in faster than K+ out slower
This creates temporary depolarizationExcitatory postsynaptic potential
(EPSP) Includes Histamine and Acetylcholine in
skeletal muscles.
Inhibitory neurotransmittersCause K+ channels to open up K+ out
This creates temporary hyperpolarization
Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP)
Includes Serotonin, Dopamine and Acetylcholine in cardiac muscles.
