Action Potential – electrical signal carried by an axon in a nerveoCaused by ionsoIs an electrochemical responseoResult from the disturbance of the potential difference across the axon plasma membrane

Excitability – the ability to create an action potential in response to a stimulus2 Types of excitable cells in body are muscle and nerve cells.

Potential differencemeasure of the charge difference across the plasma membrane. Measured in millivolts (mV)

A negative sign is used because inside is negative compared to outside of plasma membrane.

Characteristics of an action potential:
•All or none event
•There must be a stimulus
![Page 10: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Characteristics of an action potential:
•Stimuli may include•Moving cell (touch)•Light (sight)•Change in temperature (hot/cold)•Chemicals (taste)•Electrical shock (not normal)
![Page 11: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Steps of a nerve impulse:
1. Polarization
•Axon is at its resting potential.
• Axon is ready to do work, receive a stimulus. (Has potential energy)
![Page 12: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Steps of a nerve impulse:1. Polarization
2. Depolarizationoccurs in response to a stimulus and is when there is no more separation of charge across the plasma membrane
![Page 13: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Steps of a nerve impulse:1. Polarization2. Depolarization
How is a neuron depolarized?A.Stimulus hits channel proteins called gates located in the plasma membrane
B. These gates open allowing Na+ to rush into the cell
![Page 14: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Don’t write this!!!!
But wait!!! This is not what was originally our resting potential set up was it???
![Page 21: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Don’t write this!!!
Very good! No it wasn’t. We had more Na+ on outside, now the sodium is on the inside.
Guess what will start to pump now?

C.Sodium –potassium pump will re-establish original ion concentrations of resting potential.• Takes 1 millisecond• Axon can not receive next
stimulus

Types of stimuli
1. Threshold stimulusIs strong enough to trigger the action potential.
Once it is reached there is no stopping the action potential from traveling.
![Page 27: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Types of stimuli
1. Threshold stimulus
2. Subthreshold stimulus – Is a stimulus not strong enough to trigger the action potential.
![Page 28: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Types of stimuli1. Threshold stimulus2. Subthreshold stimulus
3. Local potential – Caused by a subthreshold potential Causes a depolarization in the area of the stimulus but not strong enough to create an action potential to travel the axon
![Page 29: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How does the action potential travel down the axon?
The action potential is strong enough to depolarize the adjacent area of membrane opening the sodium gates causing a wave of depolarization.
![Page 31: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Refractory period – pump is bringing stimulate portion of membrane back to original resting potential ion concentration.
During this time this section cannot respond to another stimulus, keeps action potential from traveling wrong direction.
![Page 32: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Two types of refractory periods:1.Absolute refractory period – no matter how strong the stimulus there is no action potential
2. Relative refractory period – if the stimulus is strong enough it will produce an action potential
![Page 33: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Don’t writeRemember – action potential is all or none – so how do you feel different levels of intensity?
![Page 34: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Level of intensity of senation is determined by:
1.Frequency of action potentials.The higher the frequency the greater the intensity.2. Whether or not the axon is myelinated determines type of conduction.

Nerve impulses travel from one neuron to the next when the nerve impulse travels across the synapse.
![Page 42: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
NS Synapse – junction between two neuronsSynaptic cleft – space in the synapseNeurotransmitter –chemical that stimulates the dendrite of the next neuron to depolarize.

How does action potential travel across synapse?
1.Action potential reaches the pre-synaptic terminal.
2. Ca+ gates open and Ca+ rushes in.
![Page 45: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
How does action potential travel across synapse?
3.Ca+ trigger release of the neurotransmitter from the synaptic vesicles.
4. Neurotransmitter travels across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron.

2 types of synapses
1.Excitatory – •Neurotransmitter stimulates Na+
gates to open at post-synapse •Enough Na+ gates must open for creation of an action potential in the post-synaptic membrane
![Page 49: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

2 types of synapses1.Excitatory –
Types of summation:A. Temporal summation – one pre-synaptic axon has a high enough frequency of action potentials to send enough neurotransmitter to open enough Na+ gates to continue the nerve impulse.
![Page 51: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

B. Spatial Summation –•have several pre-synaptic neurons that excite one post-synaptic neuron.
•enough Na+ gates will open for action potential to travel through next neuron.
![Page 53: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

2 types of synapses:1.Excitatory
2.Inhibitory Neurotransmitter opens K+ channels on post-synaptic membraneK+ will rush out of cell causing hyperpolarization; an increase in potential difference (-80mV to -90mV)
![Page 55: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Types of Neuron Arrangement:1.Convergent circuit– more than one pre-synaptic neuron goes to one post-synaptic neuron.
![Page 57: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Ty pes of Neuron Arrangement:1. Convergent circuit
2. Divergent circuit one pre-synaptic neuron sends a signal to several post-synaptic neurons.This spreads the message to different parts of the body.Ex. To muscles and brain
![Page 58: A and P Polarization](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020206/5491f44cb47959183a8b4621/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Types of Neuron Arrangement:
3. Oscillating circuit – a neuron sends the message back to itself.A single stimulus can result in a long lasting signal.Ex. Alarm clock = stimulus, stay awake due to oscillating circuit.Circuit may stop due to fatigue of neuron or interference.
