Slide 1-

Nervous System: Part II How A Neuron Works
Slide 2-

Animals have nervous systems that detect external and internal signals, transmit and integrate information, and produce responses 2 Essential Knowledge Statement 3.E.2 Continued

Slide 4-

Identify the Numbered Structures
Slide 5-

Describe a Resting Potential: What is the charge inside the neuron at rest? Why is the cell negative inside and positive outside? (be specific) 5
Slide 6-

Source of Charge Differences: 6
Slide 7-

Action Potential Action potentials propagate impulses along neurons. Membranes of neurons are polarized by the establishment of electrical potentials across the membranes. In response to a stimulus, Na+ and K+ gated channels sequentially open and cause the membrane to become locally depolarized. Na+/K+ pumps, powered by ATP, work to maintain membrane potential. 7
Slide 8-

Label the graph of the action potential as we go through the next several slides. 8
Slide 9-

Generation of Action Potentials: A Closer Look An action potential can be considered as a series of stages At resting potential Most voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels are closed; most of the voltage-gated potassium (K+) channels are also closed

Slide 11-

When an action potential is generated Voltage-gated Na+ channels open first and Na+ flows into the cell During the rising phase, the threshold is crossed, and the membrane potential increases to and past zero

Slide 13-

When an action potential is generated Voltage-gated Na+ channels open first and Na+ flows into the cell During the rising phase, the threshold is crossed, and the membrane potential increases to and past zero During the falling phase, voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated; voltage-gated K+ channels open, and K+ flows out of the cell

5. During the undershoot, membrane permeability to K+ is at first higher than at rest, then voltage-gated K+ channels close and resting potential is restored

Slide 19-

Refractory Period During the refractory period after an action potential, a second action potential cannot be initiated The refractory period is a result of a temporary inactivation of the Na+ channels
Slide 20-

Conduction of Action Potentials At the site where the action potential is generated, usually the axon hillock, an electrical current depolarizes the neighboring region of the axon membrane Action potentials travel in only one direction: toward the synaptic terminals
Slide 21-

Inactivated Na+ channels behind the zone of depolarization prevent the action potential from traveling backwards

A(n) ___ in Na+ permeability and/or a(n) ___ in K+ permeability across a neuron’s plasma membrane could shift membrane potential from −70 mV to −80 mV. a. increase; increase b. increase; decrease c. decrease; increase d. decrease; decrease
Slide 29-

a. the resting membrane potential to drop to 0 mV. b. the inside of the neuron to become more negative relative to the outside. c. the inside of the neuron to become positively charged relative to the outside. d. sodium to diffuse out of the cell and potassium to diffuse into the cell. Adding a poison that specifically disables the Na+/K+ pumps to a culture of neurons will cause
Slide 30-

Name three specific adaptions of the neuron membrane that allow it to specialize in conduction 30
Slide 31-

Evolutionary Adaptations of Axon Structure The speed of an action potential increases with the axon’s diameter In vertebrates, axons are insulated by a myelin sheath, which causes an action potential’s speed to increase Myelin sheaths are made by glia— oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS

Slide 33-

Can you explain why impulses travel faster in myelinated sheaths?
Slide 34-

Next time we will explore what happens when the impulse reaches the end of the axon. 34
