Neuron structure, resting membrane potential and ion channels

Apuntes

Neural Communication Reading 2 1 Learning Outcomes • Identify the anatomical and functional divisions of the nervous system • Describe the organization of the nervous system and function for each component in the system • Relate the functional and structural differences between gray matter and white matter structures of the nervous system to the structure of neurons • Describe the basic structure of a neuron to include types and function of gated channels • Identify the different types of neurons on the basis of polarity • List the glial cells of the CNS and PNS and describe their function • Distinguish the major functions of the nervous system: sensation (stimuli), integration, and response • Describe the components of the membrane that establish the resting membrane potential • Describe the changes that occur to the membrane that result in the action potential • Discuss refractory periods 2 PRE LECTURE VIDEO 3 Types of Channels 4 Leak channels: ______________________ Ligand gated channels: ___________________________________ Voltage gated channels: ________________ Properties of Voltage Gated Ion Channels…. • Open in response to _______________________________________ • Undergo _...
