AP Action Potinatial Flashcards
DF of pumps and function
Pump's conduct ions actively with energy consumption of adenosine triphosphate(ATP) pumps pass ions actively from a solution where is few of them into solution where a lot of them
how dose resting potential arise ?
all cells both irritable and excitable have a membrane difference of optional
( electrical charges) this property is common between irritable and excitable tissue called RP
how action potinal arise ?
AP occur when the membrane potinale is of specific cells location rapidly rises and falls , this is depolarization then courses adjacent location to similar depolarization and occur in serval types of animal cells called excitable cells which incloud , neurons cells , macular cells , endocrine cells
explain the AP (all of it)
1- all the cell irritable and excitable have membrane potential similar to RP
in irritable tissue under normal condition membrane potential doesn’t change in any cases , but excitable tissues under some condition they change their potential .
2- changes in RP leading to AP generation , one of the main condition of AP generation is action of irritant in holistic organism irritant is work from outside the cell , irritation from an external is the triggering moment of generation of AP
3- under the action of exterior irritant the condition of channels and pump’s changes depolarizations start by opened of sodium +channel sodium ( and potassium pumps and sodium pumps is closed )start to enter the cell bringing positive charges with it , then RP membrane changes to opposite this is the first phase , and depolarization is passive process bcs pumps are closed
when depolarization takes a place cells perfumes its specific function
muscles contracts , glandular cells secrets their secretory products , neurons generates and conduct impulses .
4- then what happened for example in depolarization the muscles contract its should be return to rest and that’s what its called Repolarization .
in repolarization phase the pump’s K+ and Na+ are open , and its pump’s the sodium out fast which entered the cell in the depolarization , and they intensively pump’s the potassium in for potassium in the cell is not to much all K+ channels are open through them a lot of potassium goes back to outer surface
and the 3rd phase take place which is hyperpolarization
5- if excess positive charge outside the cell formed that’s mean negative charge in side the cell formed , this exsseceviness called hyperpolarization
then the cell returned to RP
why membrane potinale called that way ?
what (De) , ( hyper ) , ( Re ) mean ?
its name that's derived from Latin polarization its mean ( electric charge ) the prefix ( De ) its mean absents , cancelation , elimination the prefix ( Re) its mean renewal repolarization mean , its renewal the charge to rest the prefix ( hyper ) its mean excess of hyperpolarization mean , excess of charge
what is RP ?
its membrane charge at rest
what is AP ?
its membrane potential in response to irritation
what is the the parts ( or phases ) of AP
1 - Depolarization
2- repolarization
3 - hyperpolarization
what is the depolarization in short way ?
its positive charge entering the cell
what is the repolarization in short way ?
its retraining of the membrane potential to resting potential
what is the hyperpolarization in short way ?
acclamation of excess positive charge on the outer surface of a membrane potinale due the K+
