1 Introduction to Physiology IV - Calcium Dynamics J. P. Keener Mathematics Department Introduction to Physiology IV - Calcium Dynamics p.1/26

2 Introduction Previous lectures emphasized the role of sodium and potassium in control of membrane size and potential; Calcium is equally important in almost every cell type; Calcium controls secretion, cell movement, muscular, contraction, cell differentiation, ciliary beating, etc. Calcium is important in both excitable and inexcitable cells.

31 Serious Problems There are (at least) three problems with this (and all similar) models: A J ICa J RyR B Graded response membrane potential (mv) Calcium is not spatially homogenious; channels are controlled by local calcium concentration. Thus, whole cell models are inappropriate - geometry mattters. Channel openings are not deterministic and numbers are not large. Stochastic modeling is needed. Calcium Dynamics p.21/26
