I love the fact that your vids are a good length at just under 20 minutes (so can keep your attention and focus) but feel like they're about 2 minutes long! Awesome stuff ;D
This is such a great video; explains everything so well, and leaves no leaps of faith! Love how you included how "chemistry happens in picoseconds". Thanks Dave!
Yeah, I loved that too, cuz I was wondering about it, like there’s so much going on in our neurons and signals travel all these distances like. I AM WOWED
@Sreemohan Sharma well at least now you can go through the material twice as fast (at least) and it'll be much easier to remember the key points and maybe even details! Just as long as you don't make excuses of course 😉
I've been watching and reading a lot about this topic but nothing compares to your presentations. The sophisticated graphics alone must take countless hours to create, let alone all the research you must be doing for all your material. Pretty mind-boggling in and of itself! Thanks for the hard work. I'll be signing up and donating on Patreon in the near future.
Got a physiology exam in 2 days . 0 study done , watching a few vids of this guy can put me in a position where I can pass , shoutout to Professor Dave!!
You are a life saver for a first year speech pathology and audiology student! these videos and the sound wave explanations have saved me!! thank you!!!
Thanks Dave! Honestly this saved me. I have a practical on Monday and we are required to know pretty much everything you explained on action potential. This is great. THANK YOU!
I want to add another comment, THIS IS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO!!! I understand the concepts different receptors but most times, I cannot picture the connection and how it happens (how it jumps from one type of receptor to the next). THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you sir,I was searching this topic for 12 hrs and I could not arrive at the right place ,untill I clicked this video.your work is Very understandable and useful.Really helped me!🔥🙏
It happens in milliseconds millions of times in every activity we do. And he took 15 minutes to explain its summary. Only one word. Great teacher ❤️ And subhan Allah
Thank you so so much sir. I wish my professor could explain as clear as you did here. I've watched a lot of your videos before and they all helped me a lot.
I really like your videos even though I can’t understand everything bcz I’m not a native English speaker which makes it hard for me to get everything clearly .. but your videos still so helpful . I appreciate your efforts , thank you so much .
Prof. Dave, I want to thank you for your excellent work and the quality of your videos, which has helped many students who are currently in remote education. However, I believe that it is not offensive that I point out a flaw in the content: the sodium-potassium pump does not only turn on at the end of the action potential, but has intermittent activity and is more active in repolarization, as sodium is stimulating for its functioning ; refractory periods also do not occur after the end of repolarization, but at the moment that repolarization begins, since the absolute refractory is caused by the return of the sodium channels to the resting shape, and the relative refractory is due to the membrane's hypernegativity , and therefore would need an additional voltage to cause premature potential and action. Despite this small point.. it"s a very great job!!
Professor Dave!! Thanks so much!! your videos and explanations answer even the questions i can't articulate. And, you have great and memorable analogies which makes it a lot easier to understand and to keep up!!!
I'm not sure voltage-gated potassium channels opening at the depolarization threshold is accurate. It would have to move against both electrical potential and concentration gradients to make the intracellular potential more positive and literature seems to suggest that it is either calcium or more sodium gates
Content of tremendous value, you often fill in the gaps of concepts I'm trying to understand. I think one point could be made more clear in this video. Based on most other sources I have, voltage-gated sodium channels only start opening quickly at around -55mV (threshold value) and voltage-gated potassium channels at around +30mV. But, for example in the figure at 10:50, you show and say the potassium channels open at -55mV. I'm trying to get this clear for myself, so maybe this is of help! I'd also like to suggest a video about saltatory condunction in detail! :D
This part confused🤯 me a long time....This is the great video I've ever seen...This helped me to overcome my stress over this...again such a great epic❤️love it❣️Thank you🤝Mr.Dave for such a great video and explanation 🤩 really love it🥰
video explanations are a revolution of the education system that used to be based on text for a long time. Couple that with the internet (distribution) and a free market capitalism where the best one gets more spread and voilla: professor dave
Great content! It might be worth updating at some point to reflect emerging sense that cimpressional/acoustic waves in lbl and cytoskeleton are also playing a role.
Great explanation, I almost can relate to everything you said, lol so much information. Good thing that’s what our brain is for. To hold information. Great job from the U.S.
I thought that resting state: Na and K gates closed. depolarization phase: Na gates open but K gates still closed repolarization phase: Na gates close and K gates open Then the Na/K pump: brings in back from hyperpolarization to RMP??????? That's how my professor taught it...is it wrong?
This is great! I was reading an article about electrophysiology, and I needed a quick refreshment of the matter. This helped a bunch! Super well explained!
since this channel explains things so extraordinary well that either means: 1. it is for dumb people. Because smart people would not need such good explanations OR 2. that it is both for smart- and dumb people because it saves all from needless confusion and delay of understanding. What do you say? My answer is number 2. Because number 1. Is like saying "nice cars are only for bad drivers because they need all the help they can get". Also: Why would a good driver (smart person) want to drive a bad car (even though he could handle it) if he has the choice to drive a nice car (professor Dave videos).
Between which membranes? I'm not aware of anything that thickens membranes, I would assume they are of fixed width, as phospholipids are of a fixed length.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains At ruclips.net/video/zHJ3h675nNk/видео.html I can see several membranes/coath, where in-between is a thick area. Or this is just a symbolic image and membrane is thru the whole axon in one piece ? As matter membrane thick, there are several demyelination processes regarding neuro diseases (multiple sclerosis, gulian-barre syndrome etc..)
@@aleshiukas the demyelination would denature both the protein and membrane layers along the mylin sheath layers which would rupture the tissue, therefor affecting the action potential of the cells, and reducing cognitive ability. but all of this if one were to state it the way your trying to understand it, is technically DECREASING the density or thickness of the sheath.
I am not aware of increases in neuron growth as neuronal cells are stagnant and do not replicate. If they do it is very rare and through the use of extensive oxygen induction.
A great book to read about what happens when brain things go wrong is "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" by Oliver Sacks (hint: there are pdfs floating around that you can find for free).
I come ere when I can’t be asked to read the textbooks although I still end up reading it because I learn best from multiple sources with the same ideologies 😃
What if ions come under the influence of gravity?? Potassium ions being heavier than sodium will fall down through inner membrain so the concentration gradient might change with In the inner membrane itself. Can you kindly clear my doubt??
The action potential itself IS the achievement of electrical transmission-that is, once the neuron reaches its threshold potential, sodium ions will rush in, leading to a rapid transmission of an electrochemical impulse down the axon. It certainly helps the speed of transmission-as does the myelination of those axons, which insulated the signal and makes it go faster, similar to wires in our homes.
Can you make a video on electro magnetic fields that connect the human energy field and the planets energy field while speaking on neurons and the inter relationship between it all! Thank you
If you believe it to be this way you should make a video on that because I actually think that unified field physics and human biology are inter related and it’s not necessarily electro magnetic fields that bring these conclusions together but a series of scalar waves which are the fundamental aspects of this universe that reveal the actual mechanisms within consciousness and planet earth....
my professor doesn't include anything visual and these really help me retain info. professor dave being the GOAT as usual, thanks dude.

More understandable and efficient than reading 20 pages of my textbook :)
Sadly term exams gonna ask qn frm txtbook
Plese share the notes on neurotransmission
@@sreemohansharma5954 You're right about that. I wish we were tested on understanding, not what we can regurgitate from a textbook.

What if ions come under the influence of gravity?? Potassium ions being heavier than sodium will fall down through inner membrain so the concentration gradient might change with In the inner membrane itself. Can you kindly clear my doubt??
We are talking about an amount of mass that is totally negligible. Gravity does not dictate events on the molecular level.
Thanks, help a lot!

Can anyone tell me what is the need for action potential? Does it help in faster transmission of the nerve impulses?
