68 12-4 Transmembrane Potential The Transmembrane Potential Three important concepts 1. The extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (cytosol) differ greatly in ionic composition Concentration gradient of ions (Na +, K + ) 2. Cells have selectively permeable membranes 3. Membrane permeability varies by ion
69 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Passive Forces acting Across the Plasma Membrane Chemical gradients Concentration gradients (chemical gradient) of ions (Na +, K + ) Electrical gradients Separate charges of positive and negative ions Result in potential difference
70 Figure 12-9 The Resting Potential is the Transmembrane Potential of an Undisturbed Cell EXTRACELLULAR FLUID mv K + leak channel Cl 3 Na + Na + leak channel Plasma membrane Sodium potassium exchange pump CYTOSOL Protein 2 K + Protein Protein
71 12-4 Transmembrane Potential The Electrochemical Gradient For a particular ion (Na +, K + ) is: The sum of chemical and electrical forces Acting on the ion across a plasma membrane
72 Figure 12-10a Electrochemical Gradients for Potassium and Sodium Ions Potassium Ion Gradients At normal resting potential, an electrical gradient opposes the chemical gradient for potassium ions (K + ). The net electrochemical gradient tends to force potassium ions out of the cell. Potassium chemical gradient Potassium electrical gradient Net potassium electrochemical gradient Resting potential 70 mv Plasma membrane K + Cytosol Protein
73 Figure 12-10b Electrochemical Gradients for Potassium and Sodium Ions Potassium Ion Gradients If the plasma membrane were freely permeable to potassium ions, the outflow of K + would continue until the equilibrium potential ( 90 mv) was reached. Potassium chemical gradient Potassium electrical gradient Equilibrium potential 90 mv Plasma membrane K + Cytosol Protein

75 Figure 12-10d Electrochemical Gradients for Potassium and Sodium Ions Sodium Ion Gradients If the plasma membrane were freely permeable to sodium ions, the influx of Na + would continue until the equilibrium potential (+66 mv) was reached. Sodium chemical gradient Sodium electrical gradient Equilibrium potential +66 mv Plasma membrane Cytosol Protein
76 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Active Forces across the Membrane Sodium potassium ATPase (exchange pump) Is powered by ATP Carries 3 Na + out and 2 K + in Balances passive forces of diffusion Maintains resting potential ( 70 mv)
77 12-4 Transmembrane Potential The Resting Potential Because the plasma membrane is highly permeable to potassium ions: The resting potential of approximately 70 mv is fairly close to 90 mv, the equilibrium potential for K + The electrochemical gradient for sodium ions is very large, but the membrane s permeability to these ions is very low Na + has only a small effect on the normal resting potential, making it just slightly less negative than the equilibrium potential for K +
78 12-4 Transmembrane Potential The Resting Potential The sodium potassium exchange pump ejects 3 Na + ions for every 2 K + ions that it brings into the cell It serves to stabilize the resting potential when the ratio of Na + entry to K + loss through passive channels is 3:2 At the normal resting potential, these passive and active mechanisms are in balance The resting potential varies widely with the type of cell A typical neuron has a resting potential of approximately 70 mv
79 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Changes in the Transmembrane Potential Transmembrane potential rises or falls In response to temporary changes in membrane permeability Resulting from opening or closing specific membrane channels
80 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Sodium and Potassium Channels Membrane permeability to Na + and K + determines transmembrane potential They are either passive or active
81 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Passive Channels (Leak Channels) Are always open Permeability changes with conditions Active Channels (Gated Channels) Open and close in response to stimuli At resting potential, most gated channels are closed
82 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Three Classes of Gated Channels 1. Chemically gated channels 2. Voltage-gated channels 3. Mechanically gated channels
83 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Chemically Gated Channels Open in presence of specific chemicals (e.g., ACh) at a binding site Found on neuron cell body and dendrites
84 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Voltage-gated Channels Respond to changes in transmembrane potential Have activation gates (open) and inactivation gates (close) Characteristic of excitable membrane Found in neural axons, skeletal muscle sarcolemma, cardiac muscle
85 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Mechanically Gated Channels Respond to membrane distortion Found in sensory receptors (touch, pressure, vibration)

88 Figure 12-11c Gated Channels Mechanically gated channel Channel closed Applied pressure Channel open Pressure removed Channel closed
89 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Graded Potentials Also called local potentials Changes in transmembrane potential That cannot spread far from site of stimulation Any stimulus that opens a gated channel Produces a graded potential
90 12-4 Transmembrane Potential Graded Potentials The resting state Opening sodium channel produces graded potential Resting membrane exposed to chemical Sodium channel opens Sodium ions enter the cell Transmembrane potential rises Depolarization occurs

110 12-5 Action Potential Propagation of Action Potentials Propagation Moves action potentials generated in axon hillock Along entire length of axon Two methods of propagating action potentials 1. Continuous propagation (unmyelinated axons) 2. Saltatory propagation (myelinated axons)
111 12-5 Action Potential Continuous Propagation Of action potentials along an unmyelinated axon Affects one segment of axon at a time Steps in propagation Step 1: Action potential in segment 1 Depolarizes membrane to +30 mv Local current Step 2: Depolarizes second segment to threshold Second segment develops action potential

121 12-6 Axon Diameter and Speed Axon Diameter and Propagation Speed Ion movement is related to cytoplasm concentration Axon diameter affects action potential speed The larger the diameter, the lower the resistance
122 12-6 Axon Diameter and Speed Three Groups of Axons 1. Type A fibers 2. Type B fibers 3. Type C fibers These groups are classified by: Diameter Myelination Speed of action potentials

129 12-7 Synapses Chemical Synapses Are found in most synapses between neurons and all synapses between neurons and other cells Cells not in direct contact Action potential may or may not be propagated to postsynaptic cell, depending on: Amount of neurotransmitter released Sensitivity of postsynaptic cell
130 12-7 Synapses Two Classes of Neurotransmitters 1. Excitatory neurotransmitters Cause depolarization of postsynaptic membranes Promote action potentials 2. Inhibitory neurotransmitters Cause hyperpolarization of postsynaptic membranes Suppress action potentials
131 12-7 Synapses The Effect of a Neurotransmitter On a postsynaptic membrane Depends on the receptor Not on the neurotransmitter For example, acetylcholine (ACh) Usually promotes action potentials But inhibits cardiac neuromuscular junctions
