exactly. been trying to find out what in the world my prof is communicating in that mess of a lecture, and here I go, a four minute video got me up to speed.
Good, simple, easy-to-understand videos from Alila in general, with some errors in the details (e.g. starting time point of relative refracter period, or threshold potential for the late Kv channels in the action potential video). While these videos are good (overly simplified) starting points for the referred topics, I would warmly suggest medical students etc, to put effort in understanding/learning their text books and university lectures as well, if they want to remain on the safe side for passing their exams.
@@henricostel7273 Since potassium ion is positive charge and the direction of it's gradient is to flow out of the cell, the equilibrium potential has to be negative to attract these potassium ions back inside the cell because unlike charges attract.
This was so helpful thank you so much btw at 0:19 I thought the inside of the membrane being considered more negative was because there were less positive charges instead of it being because of more negative charges
Can anyone help me with my EDx course? I couldn't find an answer there: Cells in the electric eel's electric organ have a larger-than-normal membrane potential, sitting at roughly -150 mV. How might a cell achieve a more negative resting potential? Indicate all that apply. Higher extracellular K+ concentration Lower extracellular K+ concentration (correct) Higher intracellular K+ concentration (correct) Lower intracellular K+ concentration Why do lower extracellular K and higher intracellular K make the membrane potential greater? Wouldn't more positive charge inside the neuron make the membrane potential smaller?
can someone please explain to me why the equilibrium potential of K+ is negative? negative and positive attract each other, and you want K+ to enter the cell again, so why isnt it positive?
Bcz when potassium get into the neuron simultaneously sodium will move outside and for every two k+ ions are actively transported inward and three Na+ ions are pumped out so as more positive charges pumped out than going inside the inner environment get more negative than outside!
This is because calculating membrane potential is a comparison of the outside of the cell (ground) compared to the inside. If your voltage is positive, this means that the inside of the cell is more positive compared to the outside. This would force K+ out, which is the opposite of our desired effect. Thus, K+ requires a negative voltage-a more negative inside- to draw that K+ back in.
Thanks for the video. But I was wondering if the channels are different for potassium and sodium. Here You showed only one channel, which I suppose, was for simplicity. Am I right?
The sodium-potassium pump is a special case. Each ion does have its own channel, but the Na-K pump spends ATP to bring K inside and simultaneously push Na outside.
I wonder if the equilibrium potential for an ion species is always constant?Lets say,we manually double the amount of Na+ concentration outside the membrane and wait for the Na+ ions to equlibrate,will the ENa still be 6(from your example)?
Short answer: no, it will change. Long answer: www.d.umn.edu/~jfitzake/Lectures/DMED/IonChannelPhysiology/MembranePotentials/EquilibriumPotentials.html
If a neuron has an internal potential of -60mV and an external potential of -20mV, would the potential difference across the membrane be inside minus outside or outside minus inside?
Inside negative, -40 mV as compared to the outside. These are conventions: you compare IC to EC (or subtract EC form IC: -60- -20= -40). As EC is often grounded, it is considered to be not different from Earth potential, that is considered 0 mV (convention again, -70mV - 0 mV=-70 mV= Em, in a typical nerve cell).
Me too. I don't understand why the potential of the membrane is equal to that of the chloride since the chloride has more negative outside while the membrane has more negative inside.

Thank you @@Alilamedicalmedia if mebrane poteintial Vm=0, what is the concentration of each ion on each side of the membrane? Is Vm=0 meant equilibruum potential too?
@@Alilamedicalmedia And if I have 10 positive and 2 negative ions on the left side and zero ions of any kind on the right side, then how do I calculate when the chemical gradient and electrical forces are going to be at equilibrium?

thank you so much! this is much clearer than a 150 mins lecture!!!
exactly. been trying to find out what in the world my prof is communicating in that mess of a lecture, and here I go, a four minute video got me up to speed.
i understood the whole lesson just by watching 2 minutes of this video. Thank you so so much!
This was so much more clear than many lectures & labs…. so glad. bless you 🙏🏼
This is the cream of our hours long reading and lectures
Thankuuu
exellent, simplified and still accurate explanation!
so good!
I just started grad school, I really appreciate this video. I can understand my notes now
Great and simplified explanation!!
True thanks about grateful
Active and passive diffusion of electrical and chemical ions through cellular membrane . Perfect information
Great and detailed explanation, good graphics.. Very helpful to understand
I’m still confused
This is very confusing topic ...but now my concept has cleared...after watching 3 or 4 times
Work harder
I’m more confused
😂
CLEANLY EXPLAINED
Useful video to understand body Biology, better than reading a book !

very best explanation i have ever seen guru, thank you
This video is an artwork.. Thank you
Thank you so much.....this vedio os better than our lecture of two hours👍👍👍
Great video...need more of these medical topics pls ma'am
great video and nice illustration. thank you.
soo easy to understand.. Thank you
You are welcome!
thank you love the video. Why does the equilibrium potential need to be positive for Na+ inorder to put sodium out of the cell?
The equilibrium potential needs to be positive because like charges repel. Only then the sodium ions will go back to the outside of the cells.
@@htetmyatmin223 Could you explain why does it have to be negative to potassium?
@@henricostel7273 Since potassium ion is positive charge and the direction of it's gradient is to flow out of the cell, the equilibrium potential has to be negative to attract these potassium ions back inside the cell because unlike charges attract.

This was so helpful thank you so much btw at 0:19 I thought the inside of the membrane being considered more negative was because there were less positive charges instead of it being because of more negative charges
The inside negative charge is due mostly to large negative charges from proteins and nucleic acids.
@@Alilamedicalmedia I had no idea thank you so much!
That was super informative and soo easy to understand.. Thank you 😁

thank you ! that was very helpful .
Thanks sir very informative and short video .but plz upload videos in urdu.
Thank you so much this was so helpfull :)
What does it mean that positive and negative signs represent the direction of membrane potential?
Thanks for emphasizing OOUT!
Ma pls make a video on types nerve fibers and neurotrophin
I finally understand this!!!! Thank you
Thanks a lot
At 1:52, how to know that at which point the flux of Na+ ions across the membrane will stop?
As soon as Na diffusion potential is able to counteract Na conc.gradient
What cherry said
At 2.47, how do we calculate the equilibrum potentials?
Why is cell interior negative charged even though there’s more cations and less anions than outside ?
There are large molecules inside the cells that carry negative charge: proteins, nucleic acids
Amazing stuff thanks lot
thank you so much!!
Thanks
Thank you.... It's very helpful👍👍👍
Why the potential of Na is positive if it is driving inside the cell? ..

I believe they are, dont quote me though
Yeah I'm 99% sure each ion has it's own channel.
The sodium-potassium pump is a special case. Each ion does have its own channel, but the Na-K pump spends ATP to bring K inside and simultaneously push Na outside.
how did she calculate that E was 6??
It's more than best😍

So in what way does this pump differ from the voltage gated channel with regards to the action potential?
3:18 was what I came for.... thanks
Great great great👍👌
I don't understand why the inner membrane is negative, because potassium has a positive charge.
Because of the proteins, rna and dna. They have negative charge
How can sodium move out of the cell when when its extracellular concentration is high?
With a process called Primary Active Transport in which a cell membrane moves Ions against a concentration gradient (or against an electrical gradient). Guyton & Hall: Medical Physiology Chpt. 5
Wow
1:28 no movement because the two concentrations are equal. Ratio is the same=1.0
at 2:34 said E of Na is 6, how to calculate this?
6 is the voltage difference. The difference between -3 (on the left) and +3 (on the right) is 6
Thank you @@Alilamedicalmedia if mebrane poteintial Vm=0, what is the concentration of each ion on each side of the membrane? Is Vm=0 meant equilibruum potential too?

Can anyone tell me why potassium ratio is more than sodium ratio across resting membrane potential?
The drawing is confusing bc sodium potassium pumps pump 3 Na out and 2 K in. The graphic shows the opposite happening.
Mam how do we define the direction of electrostatic force here
Umer Binshabir From positive isotope to negative isotope. The positive will want to move to where the negatives are.
@@sakuraiwaru3299 So it doesn't make sense that chloride move from the negative to the positive.
Because direction of electrostatic force of attraction is from positive to negative
