A2 Biology - Resting potential and action potential (OCR A Chapter 13.4)

  • A cell membrane normally is maintained at a resting potential of -70mV. When the receptors detect a stimulus, the membrane will generate an action potential to transmit the signal to the brain/spinal cord. In this video, we will look at the mechanisms of how the resting potential is maintained and re-established, and what happens to the membrane for an action potential to be generated.

      @@gracex3 The non-voltage-gated potassium ion channels remain open throughout the process (hence the leakage of K+ ions out), however the voltage- gated ion channels only open during repolarisation and begin to close at hyperpolarisation.
      This is because it is a slow process to close the voltage-gated potassium ion channels, therefore causing the charge to go beyond -70mV.

      @BioRach  4 года назад +1

      Glad you found the video helpful :)
      I can do, though it's not much extra on top of what's already covered in this video. Saltatory conduction is referring to the fact that the sodium ions diffuse from one node of Ranvier to the next, rather than having every ion channel opening in between the nodes, therefore the impulse transmission is extremely quick. Impulse propagation is pretty much referring to the same thing, unless I interpreted your question wrong? In which case then please let me know and I'll cover it in a bit more detail :)

    • @BioRach
      @BioRach  4 года назад

      @@abdelrahmanshams6016 Ah I see. That would be due to the opening/closing of the ion channels along the membrane due to it reaching the threshold potential of -55mV.
      1.) When an action potential is initiated, the sodium ion channels open, which increases the membrane's PD from -70mV to -55mV.
      2.) At that point, the voltage-gated sodium ion channels nearby will then open to allow more sodium ions to come in (reaching 40mV).
      3.) These ions then diffuse along the membrane, which then causes the "next area" to also increase its PD (as more positive ions inside than outside).
      4.) Then the same thing happens - the channels in the "next area" open due to reaching -55mV.
      5.) The membrane in the "previous area" will then experience a drop in PD (due to the "loss" of sodium ions) and the voltage-gated potassium ion channels will then open, which helps further decrease the PD (ie. repolarisation), even beyond -70mV, which is then called hyperpolarisation... before the sodium/potassium ion pumps work again to regenerate the PD to -70mV.
      If you use the OCR A textbook, there is a really good diagram that shows this on p.13 (in 13.4 Nervous transmission).

    @rasheede.o4824 4 года назад +3

    If you have a larger stimulus does that mean a large amount of energy from the stimulus (but not all the energy) is transferred but that is not enough to open the subsequent voltage gated channels but opens more sodium channels than if it were a smaller stimulus.

    • @BioRach
      @BioRach  4 года назад +2

      Yes. We think of something a larger stimulus based on us feeling it more. That implies that more receptors are trigger in the beginning, hence more initial sodium ion channels are opened to reach the threshold potential, which then opens more of the subsequent voltage-gated channels.

      There are different versions of Na+ channels. Some are voltage gated, meaning they're sensitive to changes in potential difference. Some are stretch mediated, such as the ones found in the Pacinian corpuscles, which are literally stretched apart for sodium influx.

    • @BioRach
      @BioRach  2 года назад

      We want K+ out! At resting potential K+ are actively transported into the neurone to facilitate Na+ going out, but we want to maintain -70mV by moving most positive ions out, so the K+ ion channels are open to allow any K+ to diffuse back out after active transport.

    • @BioRach
      @BioRach  3 года назад +1

      Voltage-gated channels are those that open due to a change in the potential difference in the membrane. They are mostly involved in triggering an action potential, or in any situation where the release of a substance is regulated (eg. insulin). Whereas non-voltage channels (so normal protein channels) are not necessarily involved in regulation of any substance release - examples include protein channels for water absorption, which happens all the time and isn't controlled to only occur at certain moments.
