Lec 2 Chemical and Electric Signals Flashcards
when a neuron is at a resting potential of -70 mV, neither potassium nor sodium is at blank
equilibrium? ok
driving force generated by a concentration difference and applies to all charged and uncharged molecules
diffusive chemical
driving force generated by a potential difference in an electrical field and only applies to charged particles
electrical
answer of nernst equation gives us the blank
equilibrium potential
g is aka
conductance
conductance can increase due to these two thing
larger channel, more channels
depolarization occurs via opening blank channels and closing blank channels
sodium, potassium
shunting inhibition example
chloride channels being open keeps cell at -70 mV because that is its equilibrium potential
equilibrium potential of sodium
+60
equilibrium potential of potassium
-90
three types of gated channels
voltage, ligand, mechanically
sodium channel has blank domains that each have blank TM segments
four, six
potassium channel has one blank TM peptide
6
unique 6 TM channel that can detect environmental clues
TRP
equilibrium potential for the ion is aka the blank
nernst potential
