Electrical and concentration gradient driving forces for Sodium and Potassium
How does the membrane potential change if 1) permeability to sodium increases2) Permeability to potassium increases
Why is resting membrane potential closer to EK than ENa?
What would happen to membrane potential if suddenly PNa
became very great?

The Goldman Hodgkin Katz Equation
• If you know the concentrations of ALL permeable ions and their relative permeabilities, you can calculate the membrane potential using the GHK Equation.

Which ion moving in which direction (into or out of cell) is responsible for depolarization and overshoot? Which ion moving in
which direction (into or out of cell) is responsible for repolarization and hyperpolarization?
Can the membrane potential go more negative than -90 mV?

How is the intensity of a stimulus encoded by action potential if all action potentials have the same size (amplitude)?
What happens when the membrane is depolarized by more than about 15 mV?

Relevance of the GHK equation
Changes in membranepermeability produce changes inmembrane potential via the openingand closing of ion channels!

To reset from inactivated state to closed state, membrane must repolarize.
Compare and contrast voltage-gated Na and K channels based on time to open and duration of open time.
Open at -55 mV
Membrane must repolarize to “reset” Na+ Channels to be capable of opening again.

Natural ways to Initate an Action Potential
Graded depolarization in cell body reach threshold at axon hillock
Graded depolarization in in receptive membranes of sensory neurons reach threshold for AP at trigger zone. i.e. nociceptors and stretch receptors.
Unstable membrane potential cycles: pacemaker potentials in pacemaker cells of heart, smooth muscles of gut, and medullary neurons for respiratory rhythm.

Who Cares?
Novacaine, lydocaine, xylocaine, All block voltage-gated Na+ channelsPrevent action potentials, so stimulus does not result in an action potential in sensory neurons which would convey that information to the brain where person would be conscious of the stimulus!

Questions About Action Potential Conduction:How does an action potential move along the axon? Why doesn’t the amplitude get smaller with distance?Why is the conduction of an action potential unidirectional? What is the absolute refractory period and what is going on with voltage gated sodium channels that accounts for the absolute refractory period?What is the relative refractory period and what is going on with voltage gated sodium channels that accounts for the relative refractory period?

In unmyelinated axons, action potential must be generated at each point along the membrane, a relatively slow process that involves influx of Na+ which sets up positive feedback cycle.
In myelinated axons, action potential must be generated only at the nodes of Ranvier, which allows AP to be conducted much faster and with fewer ions moving, and thus less energetically expensive.
