membrane excitability
|
depolarization leads to higher Na+ permeability, Na+ influx self reinforcing bring to a peak (depolarization and overshoot), K+ permeability increase, repolarization, Na-K pump restore the normal ion concentration gradient. `
|
|
cardiac muscle excitability
|
L-type Ca channel
|
|
smooth muscle excitability

|
|
nerve conduction
|
from dendrites to axon
|
|
special feature at each part of nerve cell
|
dendrites: graded potential, soma: integrated (temporal summation and spatial summation), axon hillock or trigger zone (dense low threshold of Na channel), Action potential throughout to the axonal end, trigger neurotransmitter release.
|
|
how action potential spread in axon?
|
myelinated axon: high Rm, high length constant. potential only spread along the myelin sheath until reach the node of Ranvier (dense low threshold Na channel and non-myelinated) ... saltatory propagation
|
|
why myelinated?
|
low Ra, faster spread; low Cm, low time constant; high Rm length constant. shorter charging/depolarization time and less likely to spread outside (low permeability)
|
|
graded potential : EPSP, IPSP
|
