How Ions Move across Membrane
Interstitial fluid Cytoplasm Na+/K+ pump Passive transporters with open channels Passive transporters with voltage-sensitive gated channels Active transporters Lipid bilayer of neuron membrane Figure 34.7 Page 577
15
Pumping and Leaking Interstitial fluid Na+ pumped out Na+ leaks out
Plasma membrane Na+ leaks in K + pumped in K+ leaks out Cytoplasm Figure 34.7 Page 577
16
Ion Movement Ion concentrations
17
Ion Concentrations at Resting Potential
Potassium (K+) Higher inside than outside Sodium (Na+) Higher outside than inside
18
Action potential propagation
19
Positive Feedback more Na+ ions flow into the neuron
more gated channels for Na+ open neuron becomes more positive inside
20
All or Nothing All action potentials are the same size
If stimulation is below threshold level, no action potential occurs If it is above threshold level, cell is always depolarized to the same level
21
Repolarization Once peak depolarization is reached, Na+ gates close and K+ gates open Movement of K+ out of cell repolarizes the cell The inside of the cell once again becomes more negative than the outside
22
Measuring membrane potential
23
action potential +20 -20 Membrane potential (millivolts) threshold -40 resting membrane potential -70 1 2 3 4 5 Figure 34.9f Page 579 Time (milliseconds)
24
Propagation of Action Potentials
An action potential in one part of an axon brings a neighboring region to threshold Action potential occurs in one patch of membrane after another
25
Chemical Synapse Gap between the terminal ending of an axon and the input zone of another cell plasma membrane of axon ending of presynapic cell plasma membrane of postsynapic cell synaptic vesicle synaptic cleft membrane receptor Figure 34.10a Page 580
26
Synaptic Transmission
Action potential at end of presynaptic cell axon causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open Flow of calcium into presynaptic cell causes release of neurotransmitter into synaptic cleft
27
Synaptic Transmission
Neurotransmitter diffuses across cleft and binds to receptors on membrane of postsynaptic cell Binding of neurotransmitter to receptors opens ion channels in the membrane of postsynaptic cell

Neurotransmitters ACh Norepinephrine Epinephrine Dopamine Serotonin
GABA Derived from amino acids
33
Neuroglia More than half the volume of the vertebrate nervous system
A variety of cells that metabolically assist, structurally support, and protect the neurons

Nerve A bundle of axons enclosed within a connective tissue sheath

35
Myelin Sheath A series of Schwann cells Sheath blocks ion movements
Action potential must “jump” from node to node Figure 34.15b Page 584

Reflexes Automatic movements made in response to stimuli
In the simplest reflex arcs, sensory neurons synapse directly on motor neurons Most reflexes involve an interneuron

Peripheral Nervous System
Somatic nerves Motor functions (Shown in green) Autonomic nerves Visceral functions (Shown in red)
42
Two Types of Autonomic Nerves
Sympathetic Parasympathetic Most organs receive input from both Usually have opposite effects on organ
43
Sympathetic Nerves Originate in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord Ganglia are near the spinal cord Promote responses that prepare the body for stress or physical activity (fight-or-flight response)
44
Parasympathetic Nerves
Originate in the brain and the sacral region of the spinal cord Ganglia are in walls of organs Promote housekeeping responses such as digestion
45
Both Systems Are Usually Active
Most organs are continually receiving both sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation For example, sympathetic nerves signal heart to speed up; parasympathetic stimulate it to slow down Which dominates depends on situation
46
Function of the Spinal Cord
Expressway for signals between brain and peripheral nerves Sensory and motor neurons make direct reflex connections in the spinal cord Spinal reflexes do not involve the brain
47

Cerebrospinal Fluid Surrounds the spinal cord
Fills ventricles within the brain Blood-brain barrier controls which solutes enter the cerebrospinal fluid Figure Page 588

Anatomy of the Cerebrum
Largest and most complex part of human brain Outer layer (cerebral cortex) is highly folded A longitudinal fissure divides cerebrum into left and right hemispheres
