graded potentials
local potentials
short range
only affect a
small portion of the cell
(may trigger “events” in other cells)
action potentials
a potential that is propagated along an
axon (affects the whole cell)
? - a stimulus large enough to open
the Na voltage-gated channels
“threshold”
about -60 mV
Na+ voltage-gated channel
normally closed (activation gate)
at resting potential
most abundant in
the membrane of the
axon
Na+ voltage-gated channel
opens at -60mV
lets Na+ in
membrane
depolarizes
fig.12-10b
Na+ voltage-gated channel
inactivation gate closes
very quickly (few/10,000 sec)
stops Na+ flow

Na+ voltage-gated channel
inactivation gate closes
very quickly
remains closed
until R.P. is
restored

refractory period
from the time the Na+ voltage
sensitive channel opens until
inactivation ends
K+ voltage-gated channel
opens and closes more slowly
lets potassium flow out of cell
repolarizes membrane

reaches threshold

Myelin affects speed of AP.
So does fiber diameter
type A fibers
type B fibers
type C fibers
type A fibers
largest (4-20 µm)
have myelin
type B fibers
smaller (2-4 µm)
have myelin
type C fibers
smallest (2 µm)
unmyelinated
to 140 m/sec
~ 18 m/sec
~ 1 m/sec
type A fibers
balance, position,
delicate touch and pressure
neurons to skeletal muscle
type B and C fibers

neurotransmitter diversity
electrical synapses
direct cell-cell
communication via
gap junctions
chemical synapses
synaptic cleft (space)
between cells
electrical synapses (rare)
AP will always pass
from cell to cell
chemical synapses
AP will not always
generate an AP in
second cell
synapse anatomy
presynaptic axon terminal
synatpic vesicles
neurotransmitter
synaptic cleft
postsynaptic neuron
receptors
synapse function
AP makes it to the axon bulb
aka, synaptic knob
axon terminal
membrane depolarizes
opens voltage-gated Ca++ channels
Ca++ enters the synaptic knob
synapse function
Ca++ causes exocyctosis of
synaptic vesicles…
… release of neurotransmitter
aka nt.
nt diffuses across the cleft…
synapse function
nt bind to receptor in
postsynaptic membrane
…receptor opens ion channel…
…changes membrane potential
synapse function
one common nt:ACh
acetylcholine
receptor:
AChR
acetylcholine receptor

neurotransmitters
effects (2):
what kind of receptor do
they bind to?
if nt causes depolarization…
…excitatory nt
if nt causes hyperpolarization…
…inhibitory nt
excitatory nt
(stimulatory)
inhibitory nt

neurotransmitter examples:
ACh
acetylcholine
cholinergic synapses
usually excitatory
used at neuromusculcar junc.
(inhibitory in cardiac muscle)
neurotransmitter examples:
Norepinephrine (NE)
aka noradrenalin
adrenergic synapses
usually excitatory
used widely in -brain
-autonomic NS
neurotransmitter examples:
Dopamine
excitatory or inhibitory
used in brain
e.g., inhibits overstimulation
of motorneurons
neurotransmitter examples:
Serotonin
CNS neurotransmitter
affects: attention
emotions
(depression?)
sleep/wake
neurotransmitter examples:
GABA
generally inhibitory nt
(20% of brain synapses)
? not well understood
reduce anxiety
neurotransmitters:
others
at least 50 identified:
amino acids
peptides
polypeptides
prostaglandins
ATP, NO, CO
Other compounds:
alter nt release
or
change postsynaptic response
neuromodulators
neuromodulators
often neuropeptides
opioids (one group):
endorphins
enkephalins
endomorphins
dynorphins
neuromodulators
often neuropeptides
opioids:
inhibit release of
substance P
(relay pain)
