voltage across membrane: the rmp - an AP abolishes the –ve rmp‚ making membrane potential transiently positive - we can record and measure ion currents using electrophysiology - hyperpolarization is usually the movement of +ve ions moving outward‚ but it can also be the movement of –ve ions moving inward; while depolarization is the opposite How do these membrane potentials arise? - electrical signals are generated through action of ion channels by opening and closing - the membrane bi-layer is impermeable

pathway involved in a reflex action including at its simplest a sensory nerve and a motor nerve with a synapse between. The components are receptor‚ sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ relay neurons‚ and effector. 2. Describe the events of an action potential. The events that take place are that the motor neuron will be stimulated. At the axon hillock‚ this will cause Na+ to rush into the axon‚ triggering an action potential. Once that happens then the action potential will propagate down the axon

consists of many areas that all work together in unison in order for the body to perform the tasks it is told to perform. The brain is responsible for controlling both voluntary and involuntary actions and coordinates and controls other organs in the body. The brain can do this by the use of postsynaptic potentials‚ synaptic transmission‚ and receptors that are responsible for producing and regulating specific behaviors. There are also six primary neurotransmitters that play a large role in how an individual

first saw an action potential? 3.0 V 3. How does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? The tracing travel in the same fashion but the tracing were different with an increase threshold voltage 4. What reason can you give for the change? Increase voltage 5. Record this maximal voltage here: 6.0 V Activity 2: Mechanical Stimulation 1. When the glass rod is touching the nerve‚ what do you see on the oscilloscope screen? The nerve’s action potential to stimuli

thousands of neurons releasing neurotransmitters at its surface‚ how is neuronal activity (to fire or not to fire) determined? Once a stimuli has reached a certain threshold the neuron will fire‚ this is achieved through either graded potential signals or action potential signals. 5. Since all AP’s generated by a given nerve fiber have the same magnitude‚ how does the CNS know whether a stimulus is strong or weak? The CNS determines
Premium Action potential Nervous system Neuron
Introduction and Objective The action potential is an impulse of electrical activity. Action potential occurs when a neuron sends messages electrochemically down an axon called a nerve impulse. When a neuron is not stimulated or inactive‚ it is at resting potential. When a neuron is at rest‚ the electrical charge on the inside of the neuron is negative while the electrical charge on the outside of the neuron is positive. The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV (mV = millivolts)

The body maintains homeostasis by the feedback inhibition‚ in which a stimulus produces a response that opposes the original stimulus. 3. The axon terminal is the nerve ending. The nodes speed up the message. The myelin sheath is an insulating membrane. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body
