Action Potential Flashcards
Depolarize and Repolarize Actions
Action Potential
Concepts involved in Action Potential
1 Neuron 2 Protein 3 Na+ & K+ 4 Stimuli 5 Voltage
In order to receive stimuli there should be?
Receptors
2 properties of AP?
Irritability
Conductivity
(should be present in Action Potential)
means to disseminate, propagate, distribute and conduct
Propagation
can be visualized thru graph
flow of Ions
it will not cause any energy
Passive Transport
it will cause energy
Active Transport
what ion is present in EXTRACELLULAR SPACE?
Na (Soduim) Major Extracellular Cation
what ion is present in INTRACELLULARLY SPACE?
K (Potassium) Major Intracellular Cation
normal value of Na?
135-145 mEq/L
normal value of K?
3.5-5.5 mEq/L
it is the polarized state with no stimulus
Resting Membrane Potential
T or F
before magkaroon ng Action Potential kailangan ma meet muna yung Threshold
TRUE
what is the responsible for negative charge in the cell?
Proteins
T or F
2 neuron can be propagate to 4 neuron
False, 1 lang dapat
T or F
1 neuron can be dissemenate to 3 neuron
False, 2 lang dapat
Electricity and Chemicals in NS
Stimuli
Voltage Gated Channels is activated
increase membrane permeability to Na 1000x
Depolarization
increase membrane permeability to K 30x
Repolarization
it happens when there is more negative kesa sa Resting Membrane Potential
one cannot stimulate it
pero gradually babalik din
Hyperpolarized
in cases where it cannot stimulate
Refractory - matigas ulo pero it will refract gradually
what is the direction of propagation?
—————> right di na pwedeng bumalik mag rerefract pag bumalik
