16
Q

How is a resting potential generated?

A

. Sodium and potassium pumps
. 3 sodium ions pumped out, 2 potassium ions pumped in
. Creates an electrochemical charge gradient
. High concentration of sodium ions outside and high concentration of potassium ions inside the axon
. Movement of Na inside and K outside via channel proteins
. More k ions leaving man sodium ions entering as membrane is more permeable towards potassium ions
. The leaving potassium ions are responsible for maintaining a resting potential

17
Q

Depolarization

A

Voltage gated potassium ion channel closes
Voltage gated sodium ion channels open
Na ions enters making membrane less negative
Size of action potential is generated at +30 mv
Higher the strength of stimulus, higher the frequency of action potential

18
Q

Repolarization

A

Voltage gated sodium ion channel closes
Voltage gated potassium ion channel opens
K moves out of cell
Inside of membrane becomes more negative: - 70 mv

19
Q

Hyperpolarization

A

Voltage gated potassium ions channel And voltage gated sodium ion in annex remains closed
Slight delay in potassium ion channels
Thus excess K ions have already moved out
Membrane potential: less than -70 mv

20
Q

How does action potential transmit along non myelin shieth

A

Depolarization moves to the next region as positive ion moves to negative region
Local circuit is set up
Voltage gated sodium ion channel opens at the next region and an action potential is generated

21
Q

Threshold potential

A

Minimum potential needed for an action potential to be generated
Depolarization > = 50 mv generates an action potential
Fixed at +30 mv

22
Q

Encase of myelin shieth

A

Faster transmission
Insulates axons
Action potential and local circuit set up at node of ranvier

23
Q

Role of synapse

A
  1. ensures one way transmission
  2. Involved in memory and learning
  3. Filters out low level stimuli
  4. Inter connection y nerve pathways
24
Q

cholinergic synapse

A

1 Action potential reaches pre synaptic membrane
2 voltage gated calcium ions channel opens
3 ca ions enter presynaptic membrane
4 vesicles containing ach fuses with pre synaptic membrane
5 exocytosis occurs
6 ach diffuses across synaptic cleft and fuses with receptor protein on post synaptic membrane
7 receptor protein changes shape and sodium ion channels remain open
8 sodium ions enter post synaptic membrane and action potential is generated
9 ach broken down by acetylcholinesterase into acetate and choline
