13
Q

explain resting membrane potential

A

this is at -70Mv
then when neurotansmitters bind to ligated channels
they allow annions in e.g Na+
this leads to neuron becoming more postie on inside
until it reaches action potential at -55Mv

Q

explain action potential

A

at -55Mv the sodium gated channels open and Na+ goes into the cell and becomes more positive until it reaches +30Mv then sodium gated channels close (depolarisation)

the at +30Mv the potasium gated channels open and then pottasium leaves the cell and it becomes less positvie. until it returns down to -80Mv then the gates close (repolarisation)

then pumps using ATP pump K + in against gradient and Na+ out against gradient so it returns to -70Mv (hyperpolarisation)

Q

how does neurotransmitters communicate

A

pre synaptic neuron has action potential reach the axon terminals
here calcium voltage gated channels open and Ca2+ enters this cause vesicles of neurotransmitters to be released by exocytosis and diffuse across synapse and then bind with ligan gated creceptors on post synaptic neurons dendrites

either inhibit or excite

20
Q

excite

21
Q

inhibit

22
Q

layers of the brain membrane
meniniges

A

dura matter
archanoid matter
pia matter

23
Q

dura matter

A

outermost layer
thick tough inelastic

24
Q

archanoid matter

A

middle layer with archanoid trubeculae which contains csf

25
pia matter
inner most layer it is thin delicate covers external with blood vessels
26
dicephalon
thalmus - relays and is proccessing center hypothalmus- autonomic control H.R/ BP/ respiration control intergration.-/ limbic system and hormone regilation
27
mid brain
important region for motor control// sleep wake cycles and temp regulation
28
pons
relays information to cerebellum/ thalmus contains subconsious motor
29
medulla obalangata
relays info and is autonomic center for regulation
30
corpus collosum
allows both hemispheres to relay info to each other
31
cerebral spinal fluid
cushions delicate neural structure supports brain transport chemical messengers/ waste product
32
blood supply
basiler artery- 2 arteries join medial and then divide into left and right posterior cerebral artery internal cataroid artery 2 anrterior cerebral arteries
33
hemorraghe
leak on the brain
34
ischaemic
blood clott
35
4 lobes of brain
frontal pariteal temporal occipical
36
frontal lobe
broccas area- speech production primary motor cortex associate motor cortex- sends info to primary high functioning- personality/ behaviour
37
temporal lobe
memory/ lamguage/ understanding/ auditory cortex wernickles area- speech comprohension
38
occipical lobe
sight/ visual information
39
pariteal lobe
sensory information
40
spinal chord
31 segments= 31 pairs dorsal horn- sensory lateral horn- autonomic ventricle horn- motor
41
autonomic nervous system
regulates bp/hr/ temp parasympathetic -creturn to rest- ganglia close to target cell or inside sympathetic - fight or flight- ganglia- close to spinal chord
42
ganglion
bundle or nerve cell bodies
43
neurotransmitter at ganglia
ACH and nicotine receptors symp- noradrenaline bind to adrenic receptor and activates target cell in sweet ACH to musacrine receptor para- ACH binds to musacrine receptor
44
reflexes
an autonomic response to stimuli proccessed in spinal chord it is quick
45
4 types of spinal reflexes
withdrawal- activation of motor neuron in muscle crossed extension- sends info to opposite muscle to relax and extend stretch - muscle fibres activated when muscle stretch tendon- activatd by tendon stretch
