Phases of the Action Potential Firing threshold is the point at which the number of activated Na+ channels > inactivated Na+ channels Absolute refractory period Relative refractory period

Nodes of Ranvier Initial segment

Advantages of myelination Reduces number of ion channels Reduces number of Na+ / K+ pump Increases speed of conduction Reduces energy needs

Saltatory Conduction

Exocytosis

RECEPTORS Ionotropic Metabotropic

Ionotropic Metabotropic Form a channel

Ionotropic Receptor agonist

antagonist

Metabotropic Receptor

(leads to opening of channel)

Upregulation Downregulation Changes to Postsynaptic Receptor Density as a Function of the Amount of Neurotransmitter Released
