Action Potential - Firing of a Neuron - Depolarization

  • Опубликовано: 6 май 2024
  • In this video, Dr. Kushner breaks down an action potential, a brief electrical charge that travels down the axon of a neuron. Consider the different phases to this amazing event:
    1. Depolarization (sodium channels open - Na+ rushes in - neuron become more positive - generates an action potential - +30 mV)
    2. Repolarization (sodium channels close; potassium channels open - K+ rushes out; neuron rebalances voltage)
    3. Hyperpolarization/Refractory period (neuron recharges; -90 mV)
    5. Resting potential/state (neuron returns to -70 mV)

    • @PsychExplained
      @PsychExplained  Месяц назад

      Potassium channels open in response to depolarization, allowing potassium ions to move out of the cell down their concentration gradient. This efflux of potassium ions helps restore the negative charge inside the cell. Sodium channels that opened during depolarization begin to close, reducing the influx of sodium ions into the cell. This decreases the positive charge inside the cell. As a result of these processes, the ion gradients across the cell membrane gradually return to their resting state, with potassium ions predominantly inside the cell and sodium ions predominantly outside. This restoration of ion gradients allows the neuron to prepare for subsequent action potentials and maintain its resting membrane potential.

    Why is the voltage at -70 inside at the start? If potassium is positive, what else is in the neuron that's so negative? Great video btw, thank you!

    • @PsychExplained
      @PsychExplained  Месяц назад

      The resting membrane potential of approximately -70 millivolts (mV) inside a neuron at rest is primarily due to the differential distribution of ions across the cell membrane, particularly potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+), as well as the selective permeability of the membrane to these ions.

    • @PsychExplained
      @PsychExplained  Месяц назад

      Hello! Not sure I understand your question - In the case of the sodium-potassium pump, which is essential for maintaining the resting membrane potential of nerve cells and muscle cells, sodium ions (Na+) are pumped out of the cell while potassium ions (K+) are pumped into the cell.

    • @PsychExplained
      @PsychExplained  Месяц назад

      Repolarization - brings the cell back to resting potential. The inactivation gates of the sodium channels close, stopping the inward rush of positive ions. At the same time, the potassium channels open.

  • @user-dh8ci9ue5w
    @user-dh8ci9ue5w 2 месяца назад +1

    And how does the potassium come back in and the sodium leave to go back to original resting potential? That bit wasn't mentioned. It sounds like in the end, the charge might be the same, but with hardly any K+ And lots of Na+ compared to first charge

    • @PsychExplained
      @PsychExplained  Месяц назад

      While the sodium-potassium pump helps restore the original ion concentrations, other mechanisms, such as the closing of voltage-gated sodium channels and the opening of potassium leak channels, also contribute to reestablishing the resting membrane potential.

    • @PsychExplained
      @PsychExplained  11 месяцев назад +1

      Great question. I would say no. These are separate events.
      Order: Resting state --depolarization-Repolarization --hyperpolarization (refractory period).
      Repolarization is part of the firing process of a neuron, while the refractory period deals with a neurons ability to generate another action potential.
