stimulus ->
activates a receptor
interneuron in the
brain or spinal cord
Na+/ K+ pumps push ions
against concentration
gradient requires
energy
outside is more
postive
less positive is
more negative
resting membrane potential
-70mV
-70mV->0mV->
depolarization
-70mV->-100mV->
hyperpolarization (inhibition)
axon hillock adds
everything up(local)
threshold potential is
-59mV
has to get to -59mV for
action potential to genernate
voltage gate depolarization happens
at axon
repolarzation is in
axon
electrical synapse
fast and less control
chemical synapse
slower and more control
inhibitory
K+
excitatory
Na+
