Resting membrane potential and Action potentials

Action Potential revisited When a stimulus reaches threshold level, Sodium channels open up and Sodium rushes into the axon along the concentration gradient.

The Action Potential. Four Signals Within the Neuron  Input signal – occurs at sensor or at points where dendrites are touched by other neurons.  Integration.

NERVE IMPULSE TRANSMISSION  nerve cells are like no other cell in the body because they possess an electrical charge  the axon of a neuron has a cell.

Resting Potential  At rest, the inside of the cell is at -70 microvolts  With inputs to dendrites inside becomes more positive  If resting potential.

Nervous System. What are the functions of the nervous system? It receives information about what is happening both internal and external stimuli. It directs.

As a result of the coordinated structures and functions of organ systems, the internal environment of the human body remains relatively stable (Homeostatic)

Axons and Nerve Impulses  Axons end in axonal terminals  Axonal terminals contain vesicles with neurotransmitters which are biological messenger molecules.

Presentation transcript:

The action potential Section 9.2

How it works - step by step At rest, the inside of the neuron is slightly negative due to a higher concentration of positively charged sodium ions outside the neuron.

How it works - step by step When stimulated past threshold, sodium channels open and sodium rushes into the axon, causing a region of positive charge within the axon.

How it works - step by step The region of positive charge causes nearby sodium channels to open. Just after the sodium channels close, the potassium channels open wide, and potassium exits the axon.

How it works - step by step This process continues as a chain-reaction along the axon. The influx of sodium depolarizes the axon, and the overflow of potassium repolarizes the axon.

How it works - step by step The sodium/potassium pump restores the resting concentrations of sodium and potassium ions.
