Propogation Flashcards
What is the resting membrane potential
It is the amount of volatile that the neuron has at rest -70 mV
Excitatory post synaptic potential
Cell voltage becomes more positive likely to pass the current down the axon
Inhibitory post synaptic potential
Cell voltage become more negative and likely to pass the current down the axon.
Inhibition
Is the process of passing a current down that is less cell voltage than at the testing membrane
Depolarization
Is when the cell voltage goes up from resting potential
What does the cell have to do when both positive and negative Nuevo transmitters reach the receptor
It has to decide what to do with the i for and decide what to do. It must send many action potentials
Threshold
This is a value that will allow the cell to continue passing the action potential down the axon
What is the threshold for Na+that will cause the voltage gate channels to open
-55mV
There is resistance Of the current of ions flowing
True.
How does the cell make the wave of an toon potential continue fmdown the neuron
The booster station make it so the cell voltage must reach the same amount so it’s continually passed down
Nodes
Small breaks between myelinated axon. Nodes contain voltage gated sodium channels that allow sodium to come in a make action potential boosted
Where is Myelin made
It is made of the phospholipid membranes of certain glial cells. Wrapped around the axon like rubber aroun an electrical wire
Myelin allows for
Fewer boost and quicker speeds
What type of axons do pain carrying neurons have.
Very wide allows for lest resistance I. The axon for the sodium current
Narrow Avon’s are the slowest
So pain pathways have thin or thick myelinated pathways
Thick and myelinated as possible to make transmission fastes
