Q

What is the membrane potensial?

A

Most neurons are ca. 70 units, or - 70 mV , more negatively charged inside the axon xomåared to outside. Any difference in charge (postive or negative) agross the membrane is called the membrane potensial.

Its affected by to opposing forces: diffusion and electrostatic pressure

Potensial = stored up energy

27
Q

Another world for a “set point” (AP)

A

” threshold of excitation”

28
Q

Diffusion

A

prosessen der molekyler fordeler seg jevnt gjennom mediet de er oppløst i

29
Q

Cations

A

+

30
Q

Electrostatic pressure

A

The force exerted by the repulsion ( + and - tiltrekkes)

31
Q

Anions

A

-

32
Q

Intracellular fluid

A

fluid inside cells

33
Q

Extracellular fluid

A

fluid surrounding cells

34
Q

Sodium (Na + ) - potassium (K + ) transporters

A

molecules that exchange Na+ for K +, pumping three sodium ions for every two potassium ions they pump in

35
Q

Voltage - dependent ion channel

A

channels that only open by changes in the membrane potential.

The sodium channels open first, cause potassium require a greater level of depolarization before they begin to open

36
Q

Saltatory conduction

A

Transmission of this message, appearing to jump from node to node.
- speed and economical

37
Q

decremental condution

A

the decrease in the size of the electrical message

38
Q

ligand

A

a chemical that attaches to a binding site

39
Q

dendritic spines

A

small protrusions that stud the dendrites of several types of large neurons on the brain

40
Q

synpatic vesicle

A

small, rounded structures made of membrane and filled with molecules. They are neurotransmitters that are released at the synapse

41
Q

Exocytosis

A

a process where the cell secrets molecules of neurotransmitter.

The membrane-wrapped product migrates to the inside of the outer membrane of the cell, fuses with the membrane, and bursts, spilling its content into the fluid surrounding the cell. neurons communicate with one another by secreting chemicals by this means.

42
Q

fusion pore

A

a hole through both membranes that enables them to fuse together. The prosess of fusion take ca. 0.1 msec

43
Q

3 distinct pools of synaptic vesicles

A
  1. Release-ready vesicles - docked against the inside of the presynaptic membrane, ready to release their contents when an action potensial arrives.
    - kiss and run

Less than 1 % found in the terminal
2. Recycling pool - 10-15 %
- merge and recycle
3. Reserve pool - 85-90 %
- Bulk Endocytosis

44
Q

Endocytosis means ..

A

the process of entering a cell

45
Q

Neurotransmitter-dependent/ligand-gated ion channels

A

chanels that permit the passage of specific ions into or out of the cell

45
Q

Ionotropic receptor

A

An ionotropic receptor is a type of receptor on the cell membrane that, when bound by a neurotransmitter, opens a channel to allow specific ions (such as Na⁺, K⁺, or Cl⁻) to pass through. This ion movement changes the electrical potential of the cell, leading to rapid and direct signaling. Ionotropic receptors are key for quick synaptic responses in the nervous system. Examples include NMDA, AMPA, and GABA receptors, each responsive to specific neurotransmitters and affecting neuron excitability.

46
Q

Metabotropic receptors

A

A metabotropic receptor is a type of cell membrane receptor that, instead of directly opening ion channels, activates a signaling cascade inside the cell through G-proteins and second messengers.

When a neurotransmitter binds to a metabotropic receptor, it triggers intracellular processes that may eventually affect ion channels or other cellular functions.

  • slower, but more complex
47
Q

EPSP

A

Exitatory postsynaptic potential (depolarization)

48
Q

IPSP

A

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential (hyperpolarize)

49
Q

Neural integration

A

the interaction of the effects of excitatory and inhibitory synapses on a particular neuron

50
Q

Enzymatic deactivation

A

is accomplished by an enzyme that destroys molecules of the neurotransmitter.

F.eks postsynaptic potentials are terminated in this way for acetylcholine (ACh) and for neurotransmitters that concist of peptide molecyles.

51
Q

Reuptake

A

the postsynaptic potential produces by most neurotransmitters are terminated by reuptake. This process is an extremly rapid removal of neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft ny the terminal button

52
Q

Autoreceptors

A

” self” or “same”
they are part of a negative feedback mechanism that allows presynaptic cells to monitor the amount of neurotransmitters they release into the synapse and adjust the amounts to fine-tune their chemical message.

53
Q

Presynaptic inhibition

A

Effect if the activity of the axoaxonic synapse decreases the release of the neurotransmitter.

54
Q

Presynaptic facilitation

A

Effect, if the activity of the axoaxonic synapse increases the release of the neurotransmitter

55
Q

What is a neuron?

A

Cells specialized for the conduction and transmission of electrical signals in the nervous system

56
Q

Axons

A

Neuronal process that carries the action potential from the nerve cell body to a target

57
Q

Axon hillock

A

Point of the cell that is the site of an action potential`s initiation

58
Q

Dendrite

A

Neuronal process arising from the nerve cell body that receives synaptic input

59
Q

Nucleotides

A

Nucleotides are molecules of genetic code,

in the picture it are the small colored bars that connect the two strings (forelesning)

60
Q

Neural circuits are …

A

the foundation of sensation, perception, movement of behavior.

Arrangement of circuits varies a lot according to function.
But circuitries have always two directions:
- Afferent and Efferent neurons

61
Q

Afferent neurons

A

which are nerve cells that carry information from the periphery towards the brain or spinal cord (or deeper centrally into CNS)

62
Q

Efferent neurons

A

which are the nerve cells that carry information away from
the brain of spinal cord
