39
RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL
-potential (charge) difference b/w inside and outside of cell. K is high inside, Na is high outside
ICF = -70mV
ICF K+=150mM
ICF NA+=5mM
ECF = 0mV
ECF K+=5mM
ECF Na+=150mM
40
Na+/K+ PUMP
Responsible for depolarization for action potention.
Na channels have two gates: 1. voltage 2. time-sen..at resting, channels are mostly open for K and mostly closed for Na.
Change in K causes a greater difference than a change in Na
41
ACTION POTENTIAL POLARIZATIONS
HYPERPOLARIZATION - more neg, K+ leaves
DEPOLARIZATION - (peaks at -30mV), opening of Na channels
REPOLARIZATION - open voltage gated K channels (K moves out again)
42
Diameter vs Myelination
Sm Diameter + Thick Myelination is faster than Lg Diameter w no myelination
43
ALL OR NONE PRINCIPLE of ACTION POTENTIAL
Once the AXON HILLOCK receives the treshold, the action potential is continuous. (-55mV)
A weak stimuli that does not reach threshold does NOT activate an action potential.
44
Refractory Period
-temporarily insensitive segment of the cell bc just recently terminated an action potention.
Na time sensitive gates are closed.
Once reopened, the threshold is much higher than normal
45
ALPHA CELLS of Pancreas
low blood glucose levels (or FASTED STATE) trigger Alpha cells w the release of GLUCAGON.
46
BETA CELLS of Pancreas
When high blood glucose levels, the Beta cells are activated to release INSULIN
47
INSULIN
binds to receptors on LIVER CELLS.
Liver responds my taking in more glucose.
stimulates GLYCOLYSIS(glucose breakdown) + GLYCOGENESIS (glycogen synthesis)
48
GLUCAGON
```
stimulates the LIVER
stimulates GLYCOGENOLYSIS (glycogen into glucose) + GLYCONEOGENESIS to increase glucose output
```
49
GRADED POTENTIAL
- Input signal thru dendrites + cell body
- if reached AXON HILLOCK (trigger zone) w threshold reached, it triggers an ACTION POTENTIAL
- strength decreases as it travels b/c of leakage; not all or nothing
50
