59
Q

current flow diagram

A 
resting
graded
action pot.
neurotransmitter
      (disturbes resting mem. again)
60
Q

local potential location

A

dendrites and soma

61
Q

local pot. charact.

A

graded
decremental
reversible

62
Q

graded

A

vary in volt. based on stim. (Ex. hyper, or re/depolarization)
higher stim- channel open for more time

63
Q

decremental explanation

A

as Na charge reaches surr. K it quickly gets repolarized (more negative)

64
Q

reversible

A

mem. returns to resting

excitatory or inhibitory

65
Q

excitatory reversibility + postsynaptic pot.

A

depolarize by ACh

neuron more likely to reach action potential

66
Q

inhibitory reversibility + postsynaptic pot.

A

hyperpolarize (extra neg.)

neuron less likely make action pot.

67
Q

ways to open and close gated channels

A

chemically
mechanically
voltage

68
Q

local pot. channels charac.

A

graded

mech. and chemically controlled

69
Q

action potential location

A

axon

70
Q

action pot. charac.

A 
all or none rule
      if depolar. to threshold- fires max voltage
      NOT GRADED
nondecremental
not reversible
      action pot. cannot be stopped
71
Q

action pot. channel charac.

A

gated
vol. gated
need density of vol. to work
can be caused by excitatory local pot. if reaches trigger zone
how action pot. move in one direction (transfer)

72
Q

action pot. steps

A

1- depolar. of mem by current (local pot.)
2- threshold met
3- neuron produces action pot.
Na enters cells + depolar.
mem. vol. inc
4- Na flow stops
polarity flipped from RMP
ICF mre + and ECF mre -
5- K ions repelled by positive charge and exit cell
repolar. mem. to -
6- mre K channels open than Na
causes mre neg. repolarization (hyperpolar.)

73
Q

simplified action pot. steps

A 
1- RMP
2- Local pot.
3- Threshold
4- depolar (Na in)
5- Na channels close and K channels open @ top
6- repolar (K out)
7- RMP passed negatively (hyperpolar.)
8- Na K pump compensates and returns mem. to RMP
74
Q

refractory period

A

resistance against restimulating an action pot. after neuron fires

75
Q

absolute period

A

as long as Na gates open

no amnt of stim will trigger neuron

76
Q

relative period

A

from Na gates closure to hyperpol.
strong stim. wil trigger neuron
has to overcome output of K+ ions w/ Na (hard to do)

77
Q

signal conduction- unmyleinated

A

uninterrupted chain rxn of current
“continuous conduction”
channels along entire length

78
Q

signal conduction- myelinated

A

faster
“salatory conduction”
current not continuous
only gated channels at node of ranviers

79
Q

continuation of signal in myelinated neuron

A

Na enters node of ranv. + repelled by o/ Na
moves dwn axon like repelling magnets
dec. strength w/ distance

80
Q

roll of synapses

A

if delay signal speed

used bc are processing componet

81
Q

temporal summation

A

stim from only one synapse
stim regen before 1st current fades
build up overtime
triggers action pot. w/ threshold vol.

82
Q

spatial summation

A

stims from many synapses

meet at hillock

83
Q

presynaptic facilitation

A

one neuron enhances effects of o/ neurons

84
Q

presynaptic inhibition

A

one neuron suppresses effects of o/ neurons

85
Q

synpatic plasticity

A

synapses can be added and taken away in responce to experience
allows signals to travel easier

86
Q

maintenance of RMP

A

Na K pump

ion gated channels

87
Q

why is RMP negative if K and Na are +

A

k mre permeable to mem.

mem. favors K at -90 v Na at +50

88
Q

Na ion mvmt across mem

A 
originally- moves into cell along conc. gradient
     lessens negative - charge of ICF
          since not opposite anymore
                 Na channels close
equilibrium = +50
89
Q

K ion mvmnt across mem

A

K more permeable
moves along conc. gradient to less conc. which is outside of the cell
cell becomes more neg.
since not opposite charges anymore
K channels close
equilibrium = -90

90
Q

RMP voltage amount

A

-70
