The formation of an action potential can be divided into five steps. (1) A stimulus from a sensory cell or another neuron causes the target cell to depolarize toward the threshold potential. (2) If the threshold of excitation is reached‚ all Na+ channels open and the membrane depolarizes. (3) At the peak action potential‚ K+ channels open and K+ begins to leave the cell. At the same time‚ Na+ channels close. (4) The membrane becomes hyperpolarized as K+ ions continue to leave the cell. The

potassium are the most frequently ecountered alkali metals‚ though rarely as the metal. Why these elements are rarely found as the metal? (Refer to the relative measurements tabulated in the form of electronegativities‚ ionization energies‚ or reduction potentials). These are due to the fact that their outer most orbital (ns1 valence electron configuration) has tendency to lose electron very easily and make stable configuration. The single valence electron is relatively far from the nucleus‚ only weak attractions

A graded potential in physiology‚ is described as local changes in membrane potential that occur in varying grades or degrees of magnitude or strength. When compared to graded potential‚ an action potential is described as brief‚ rapid‚ large (100mV) changes in membrane potential during which the potential actually reverses so that the inside of the excitable cell transiently becomes more positive than the outside. As with a graded potential‚ an action potential involves only a small portion of

Discuss how sleep and psychoactive drugs affect perception. Include in your discussion how a lack of sleep or use of psychoactive drugs affects your perception. I know that the lack of sleep is diffidently hard for people to function. It takes it toll on those who have issues sleeping. It could be from insomnia‚ sleep apnea‚ body aches‚ your partner snoring there are so many reasons why its hard to sleep. We need the rest to help us eliminate waste products and without enough sleep we would

Haymakers Resting is an oil painting by Camille Pissarro created in 1891. It was painted on a Canvas 25 3/4 x 32in large. The painting‚ as most of Pissarro’s works‚ is an impressionist piece with a rural theme. The technique used to create the painting is called pointillism‚ a common tool of impressionist. The painting depicts three farm women lying in loose hay. The women are plainly dressed‚ obviously workers who are either taking a breaking or coming to a stop for the day. The women wear plain

Action Potentials An action potential is the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell. An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon‚ away from the cell body. A threshold is the minimum amount of stimulation needed to start a neural impulse (you know‚ the electrical impulses that travel throughout your body carrying important information). Action potentials generated by neural impulses are

Action Potential An action potential‚ also called a spike‚ nerve impulse‚ and discharge‚ is the rapid reversal of charge of the cell membrane. These changes in charge occur within milliseconds‚ meaning the action potential travels very quickly down the axon in order to convey information over long distances. This transfer of information occurs within six phases and requires the presence of multiple pumps and channels embedded in the membrane to control ion concentration. Phase 1: The Resting Phase
