Support cells (neuroglia)- more abundant than neurons- more mitotic capability
Astrocytes1. Fill-in the space between neurons and blood vessels in brain.2. Most numerous glial cells in brain.3. Form the blood-brain barrier

are needed to see this picture.
Astrocytes4. Envelope synapses, preventing spread of neurotransmitter.5. Take up and store neurotransmitter from the extracellular environment (ECF).6. Their membranes possess neurotransmitter receptors. Electrical and biochemical events can be triggered in these cell.
Astrocytes7. Can even release some of the stored neurotransmitters. May have an adjunct role.8. Can “sherpa” the growth of new neurons or processes.

Neurofibromatosis
Gated Ion ChannelsA. Gated Na+ channels
1. localizationa. voltage-gated
a. voltage-gated- large concentration in hillock- found along the axon
Gated Ion ChannelsA. Gated Na+ channels
1. localizationb. ligand-gated at synapses
Gated Ion ChannelsA. Gated Na+ channels
1. localizationNa+ channels occupy only a small fraction of surface area
100-500 channels/m
Gated Ion Channels2. Often have two gates
a. activation (fast)b. inactivation (slow)
Gated Ion Channels3. factors contributing to specificity
a. anions at mouth of channelb. sizec. ability to dehydrate (shed water of hydration)
Electrical Properties of MembranesA. Conductance (g)
1. conferred by ion channels2. is inversely related to resistance
Electrical Properties of MembranesB. Current
- net flow of ions through the channel
Electrical Properties of MembranesC. Capacitance
1. conferred by membrane itselfbilayer is an insulating layer separating charges
2. capacitative current- ability of ions to interact across the membrane without crossing the bilayer
- charges collect on either side of the membrane- energy of the charges “stored” by the capacitor
Gated Na+ ChannelsA. Voltage-gated Na+ channels
1. current flowa. Na+ ions flow through channel at 6000/sec at emf of -100mVb. number of open channels depends on time and Vm
Gated Na+ ChannelsA. Voltage-gated Na+ channels
2. opening of channela. gating molecule responding to voltage change
The number and type of ion channels determines the electrical responses and characteristics of the cell.
