ACTION ACTION POTENTIALPOTENTIAL

Nerve impulses are conducted along the neuron by a wave of membrane polarity reversals (action potentials)

6

ACTION ACTION POTENTIALPOTENTIAL

Chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) carry nervous impulses from one neuron to another across the synapse

7

THE NEURON MEMBRANE AT THE NEURON MEMBRANE AT RESTREST

Neuron maintains a resting membrane potential of about -70 millivolts across the cell membrane

Sodium (NaNa++) and potassium (KK++) are the main ions involved

8

THE NEURON MEMBRANE AT THE NEURON MEMBRANE AT RESTREST

NaNa++ and KK++ cannot pass through the lipid bilayer membraneMove through the membrane by

using membrane proteins (pumps)

9

MEMBRANE PROTEINSMEMBRANE PROTEINS

Membrane proteins do several things: Some "leak" ions all the timeSome "leak" ions only when the cell

has been stimulated (ion "gates")Some "pump" ions by active

transport

10

NaNa++ / K / K++ PUMP PUMP

Membrane proteins actively transport Sodium out of the cellPotassium into the cell

NaNa++ / K / K++ PUMP PUMP

Three Na+ are pumped out for every two K+ pumped in

Result is the cell has more Na+ on the outside and more K+ on the inside

The pumping of Na+ out makes the outside moremore positive and the inside of the cell moremore negative

13

STIMULATED NEURONSTIMULATED NEURON

Nerve cells are unique in their ability to carry a signal using membrane potential changes

14


Stimulation of a neuron opens some of the membrane proteins(a.k.a. Na+ gates)Allows Na+ to pass freely into

the cells

15


Free flow of Na+ into the cell causes a reversal of membrane polarity

Polarity reversal is called the action potential

16

ACTION POTENTIALACTION POTENTIAL

Reversal of polarity (action potential) moves along the cell like a wave

The membrane restores the resting potential very quicklyIn less than 7 milliseconds the cell

can be stimulated again

17

ALL-OR-NONE ALL-OR-NONE RESPONSERESPONSE

Once a threshold limit is reached any stronger stimulus will not increase the cell's response

A stimulus below the threshold also will not stimulate the neuron

18

SYNAPSESYNAPSE

Neurons communicate across the synapse by using chemical messengers called neurotransmitters

19

SYNAPSESYNAPSE

Neurotransmitters may act to inhibit neurons or to excite neurons

20

SYNAPSESYNAPSE

Attachment of the neurotransmitters to presynaptic membrane receptors causes ion channels to open Generate an action potential

21

MEMBRANE POTENTIALMEMBRANE POTENTIAL

Plasma membrane exhibits membrane potentialResting potential

Electrical voltage difference across the membrane

22


With stimulation resting potential can produce responses called action potentials

23


Resting potential is like voltage stored in a battery

Electric current produced by flow of electrons from negative to positive current

24


Action potentials occur because plasma membrane contains ion channels that open or close in response to stimuli

25

ION CHANNELSION CHANNELS

Non-gated channelsAlways open

Gated channels Open or close in response to

stimuli

26

ION CHANNELSION CHANNELS

Plasma membrane has many more K+ non-gated channels than Na+ non-gated channelsThus membrane permeability

to K+ is higher

27

GATED CHANNELSGATED CHANNELS

Gated channels are stimulated by:VoltageChemicalsMechanical pressureLight

28

RESTING MEMBRANE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIALPOTENTIAL

Occurs because of the build-up of negative charges in the cytosol (intracellular fluid)

Equal build-up of positive charges in the extracellular fluid just outside the membrane

29


Separation of charges represents potential energy measured in millivolts

Large +/- difference = large potential

30


Potential exists only at membrane surfaces

Resting membrane potential in the neurons is -70mV

Cells with membrane potential are polarized

31


Factors contributing to resting membrane potential1) Unequal distribution of ions2) Relative permeability of the

cell membrane

NEUROTRANSMITTERSNEUROTRANSMITTERS

Neurotransmitters are released during a synapseNeurotransmitters are chemicals

which are able to stimulate an action potential on another neuron

72


Neurotransmitters cause either 1) Excitatory potentials2) Inhibitory potentials

73

REMOVAL OF REMOVAL OF NEUROTRANSMITTERNEUROTRANSMITTER

Neurotransmitters must be removed from the synaptic cleft or there would be a constant stimulus for an action potential1)1) Diffusion2)2) Enzymatic degradation
