Karius - everything Flashcards
what does the Na+/K+ pump?
3 Na out
2 K in
if nernst is greater (abs value) which gradient dominates?
chemical
what kind of channels are Cl?
what nt’s bind to open the channel?
Ligand-gated
GABA and Glycine
what controls which way ions flow through a channel?
ionic gradient
describe the ClC1 channel
open at rest
closes with depol
what are are the sodium channels like during threshold?
all of them are open
is it possible to get an AP during absolute refractory period?
NO
what happens in a relative refractory period?
harder to get 2nd AP, some Na channels back to closed state
what is a depolarization block?
voltage inactivation
something external is holding Vm more depol than normal ie. drug
how do most APs travel?
via saltatory conduction
what is the result of hyperkalemia?
high K+ in ECF, renal failure, may see a depolarization
what is conduction velocity = to?
mm / time
do AP die away with time or distance?
NO
what is used in direct electrical/chemical communication?
what is the route of transmission?
gap junctions
Intracellular fluid
what are the post-synaptic specializations?
extensive surface area
post-synaptic densities (NT receptors)
