Muscle Flashcards
What are neurons
Electrically excitable cells that make up the nervous system
What are glea cells
Supporting cells That help with nurves
nursement
insulation
Ionic regulation of extracellular fluid
What types of glial cells Are found in the CNS
What types of glee cells are in the PNS
Schwann cells
( Surround the axon’s to form the Mylin sheath)
Satellite cells
Surround the cell bodies and help regulate the chemical environment
3 functional classes of neurons
Sensory.(afferent)
Motor ( Efferent)
Internurons
Function of Effrent Neurons
Recives signals from the CNS to send to effectors such as muscles and glands
Function of Is afferent neurons
To retrieve signals from receptors to send the CNS
What is membrane potential
The difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell
What is depolarization
When membrane potential becomes less negative
The upward line on the action potential chart
What is hyperpolarization
When the membrane potential becomes more negative
Line below resting potential on action potential chart
What causes the membrane to become hyper polarized
When potassium channels in the neuronal membrane open
When do Voltage gated sodium channels open
Open when the neuron depolarizes to the threshold voltage
Initiates the action potential
Is what are the phases of an action potential
Resting state
Depolarization
repoleraization
hyperpolarization
describe resting state
Both voltage gated channels are closed
Potassium leak channels are open
Describe The State of depolarization
Is wind voltage gated sodium channels are open
When sodium ion’s enter the cell
Describe the state of repolerization
When voltage gated sodium channels Are inactive
When voltage gated potassium channels channels are open
When potassium Leaves Is cell
Describe the state of hyperpolarization
when potassium Permeability is higher than at rest
What Are the types of Nuro transmitters
Biogenic amines
Acetylcholine
Amino acids
Nuropeptides
1st step of action. Potential
Action potential travels down the axon To the synapse
2nd step of action potential
Acetylcholine Is released into the synaptic cleft
