Slide 1-

Action potential Action potentials are brief, rapid, large, propogatory changes in membrane potentials produced by application of adequate stimulus to an excitable tissue. Action potential = “impulse” Changes during AP – Depolarization followed by repolarization of membrane

Slide 4-

Events during A.P. – Stimulus artifact – due to leakage of electric current from stimulating electrode to recording electrode Latent period – It is isoelectric period. Indicates the time taken by the impulse to travel from stim. electrode due to the recording electrode. Duration varies with the distance between two electrodes.
Slide 5-

Local potential – slow depolarization produced due to opening of Na+ channels Firing level ( threshold potential ) – membrane potential at which rapid depolarization begins – which corresponds to 15 mV of depolarization from RMP.(-55mV )
Slide 6-

4)Rapid depolarization – due opening of fast voltage gated Na+ channels which causes entry of Na+ Overshoot – due to EqNa+ is + 60mV. Rapid repolarization – due to closure of voltage gated Na+ channels and opening of slow voltage gated K+ channels which increases K+ exit & stops Na+ entry.
Slide 7-

Afterpotentials – 7) Afterdepolarization – reduced rate of repolarization due to accumulation of K+ on the outer side of membrane. 8) Afterhyperpolarization – due to incomplete closure of K+ channel causing excess efflux of K+. Membrane potential comes to resting level by Na+-K+ pump.
Slide 8-

At firing level – rapid opening of activation gates of voltage gated Na-channels. Ionic basis of A.P.- I. Local potentials – partial opening of Na+ channels influx of Na+ along the electrochemical gradient causing slow depolarization II. Rapid depolarization – influx of Na+ causes depolarization which further increases opening of Na channels (positive feedback mechanism)
Slide 9-

IV.Rapid repolarization –increase in K+ efflux along electrochemical gradient. Peak at +30mV – Na+ entry stops because of closure (of inactivation gates of ) Na+ channels and opening of voltage gated K+ - channels III.Overshoot – membrane potential becomes +ve because Eq Na+ is + 60mV
Slide 10-

Vb )After hyperpolarization – K-channels remain open for longer period causing excess efflux of K+ resulting in hyperpolarization Va ) After depolarization –slow repolarization due to reduced rate of efflux of K+ caused by accumulation of +ve charge on outer side, RMP is reached V. After potential - VI. Hyperpolarization is corrected by Na+-K+ pump
Slide 11-

With each AP very small difference in conc. of Na+ & K+ in ICF & ECF. Types of AP – Spike potential- in nerve and skeletal muscle Plateau potential – in cardiac muscle Slow potential – in smooth muscle
Slide 12-

Role of Ca++ in A.P. – Ca++ is a membrane stabilizing factor . ↓Ca++ conc. → early opening of voltage gated Na+ channels → ↑excitability
