19
Q
forces enabling membrane potential
A
- diffusion
- electrostatic force
20
Q
Na+
A
= natrium
outside of cell
transported back by pump
21
Q
K+
A
= potassium
inside of cell
retained by electrostatic force
22
Q
Cl-
A
= calcium
outside of cell
retained by electrostatic force
23
Q
outside cell
A
- more Na+, pumped back
- more Cl-, retained electrically
24
Q
inside cell
A
- more K+, retained electrically
- more A-, cant pass membrane
25

all-or-none
A
- potential only when threshold is reaches
- -60mV
26
Q
actin potential
A
- Na+ open, depolatisation
