A

Sodium (Na+) and Potassium (K+)

18
Q

What type of channels will we find in the initial segment

A

voltage-gated K+ and Na+ channels, Na+ and K+ leak channels

19
Q

What type of pumps are found in the transmissive segment

A

20
Q

A difference in electrical charge

A

Voltage (volts)

21
Q

What creates voltage in a neuron

A

ions

22
Q

Amount of movement (force) of charged particles

A

Current (amps)

23
Q

Current is movement across what in a neuron

A

plasma membrane

24
Q

Opposition to movement of charged particles

A

Resistance (ohms)

25
Q

What creates resistance in a neuron

A

membrane

26
Q

Current=voltage/resistance, greater current is possible with higher voltage and less resistance

A

27
Q

Principle that a neuron either fires or it doesn’t

A

all or none law

28
Q

During depolarization, what is added inside the neuron to achieve a positive charge inside the cell

A

Na+ sodium

29
Q

What type of channel is used during depolarization to move a large amount of Na+

A

chemically-gated Na+ channels in the initial segment

30
Q

Voltage-gated Na+ channels open and sodium rushes in when

A

when the neuron reaches threshold

31
Q

What causes depolarization

A

reaching threshold -55 mV

32
Q

Occurs at -55mV, the point at which voltage-gated Na+ channels are activated

A

threshold

33
Q

The process of Na+ rushing into neuron

A

depolarization

34
Q

When do voltage-gated Na+ channels close

A

at +30mV, the peak of depolarization

35
Q

When do voltage-gated K+ channels open

A

at +30mV, the peak of depolarization

36
Q

The process of K+ potassium rushing out of cell

A

repolarization

37
Q

The phase when too much K+ leaves cell and neuron activates Na+/K+ pumps to achieve RMP, uses ATP

A

hyperpolarization

38
Q

When are Na+/K+ pumps most active

A

hyperpolarization

39
Q

When do you need ATP in a neuron

A

to reset the neuron to fire again
