Exam 2 Flashcards
TEA
Tetra ethyl ammonium
Blocks K+ channels
TTX tetrodotoxin
Blocks na current
In a normal ap vsodium vs vpotassium Chanel states
Na closed to open to inactivated to closed
K closed to open to closed
INaT
Transient (NA)
Fast activate then inactivate
Axon
Upward swing of action potentials
INAP
Persistent (NA)
Slow activating
Non inactive
Soma and dendrites
Enhances depolarization
Contributes to steady state firing
IL
(CA)
Long lasting
High threshold
Slow activation
Slow inactivation
Dendrites
Axon terminal
(Dendritic excitation and Ca mitigated events in dendrites)
IT
Calcium
Transient low threshold
Fast activation and
Inactivation
Dendrites
Quick depolarizing of dendrites
Causes burst firing
Ca mediated events in dendrites
IK
K
Slow activation by depol
Non inactive
Axon
Repolar of AP
Ic
K
Slowly active by depolarizing
Non inactivating
Required increase in Ca
Soma and dendrites
Increases interval between action potentials
IA
K
Transient
Fast activate by depol
Fast inactive
Soma and dendrites
Delays the onset of the AP
Im
K
Slowly active by depol
Non inactive
Blocked by activation of muscarinic receptors
Soma and dendrites
Contributes to spike frequency adaptation
Blocking this current enhances cell excitability
Ih
Inward cation
Activated by hyper pol
Slow activating
Non inactive but stops when no longer hyper polarizing
Soma and dendrites
Pacemaker potential
What happens when Ih and It are active
You get pacemaker potential with rythmic bursting
Orthodromic ap
Normal toward terminus
Antidromic ap
Toward soma
Sensory axons
C
Slow pain
Slow pain temp
Burning
Ag
Fast pain
Fast pain temp
Pricking
AB
Propiception
Touch
Aa
Propioception touch
Diagonal line graph changes
Lower Na shift left
Higher external K shifts right
NACH Chanel’s ions
Mixed Na K
Nachr in muscle subunits
2 alpha beta delta and then gamma(embryo) and epsilon (adult)
2 ACh one to each alpha subunit opens channel
Homo vs hetero nachrs
Homo a7 a9
Na k ca
Blocked by bugarotoxin
Desense is faster and stops current sooner
Hetero
Alpha beta or alpha alpha mix
Na and k
Not blocked by bungatotoxin
How to overcome desensitization
PKC
PKA
Calcineurin
