Body & Body Systems Continued Again Flashcards
(173 cards)
a blank exists across every neuron’s plasma membrane
potential difference
cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane is blank
negative
extracellular fluid side is blank in a plasma membrane
positive
cytoplasm is negatively charged because of this
sodium potassium pump
sodium potassium pump brings two blank into cell for every three blank pumped out
K+, Na+
away from poles and toward neutral in terms of voltage
depolarization
depolarization makes the membrane potential more blank
positive
blank makes it extremely negative in terms of voltage
hyperpolarization
a change in membrane potential that moves down the membrane
action potentials
one change in voltage after another along the axon
action potentials
depolarization, hyperpolarization, resting are how the blank moves down the axon
action potential
action potentials are proliferated by blank channels
voltage-gated ion
two voltage gated ion channels
Na+ and K+
Na+ channels open blank
first
K+ channels open blank
second
Na+ causes and influx of Na+ ions causing blank
depolarization
K+ channel allows in K+ ions and causes blank
hyperpolarization
When depolarization occurs, the change in charge is detected by the blank Na+ channels
adjacent
Once the cytoplasm is blank enough, the next channel with blank
positive, open
the point where sodium is either allowed in or not of the axon
threshold
sodium comes in and causes blank
depolarization
potassium goes out and causes blank
hyperpolarization
Three phases of action potential
undershoot, resting potential, axon terminal
the signal moves down the axon until the axon blank
terminal
