anesthetics are on the ___ part of the VG Na channels and have a greater effect on the axons that are _ and . ex: ___

-intracellular
-smaller
-more active (i.e. pain receptors)
-lidocaine

6

neurotoxins: extracellular blockers

7

neurotoxins: modulators of Na+ channel function

batrochotoxin (frogs)

8

demyelinating diseases

MS (CNS) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (muscles)

9

current propagation: effect of increased internal resistance

smaller spread

10

current propagation: effect of increased membrane resistance

larger spread

11

current propagation: effect of increased membrane capacitance

slower speed

12

how to make the current propagation large and fast?

increase membrane resistance and decrease membrane capacitance

13

myelin's effect on current propagation

-increases membrane resistance and decreases membrane capacitance
-saltatory conduction
-faster and larger
