00:02 Okay, I think we are up going everything turned on. Uh Let's

00:08 break down into three parts today. a danger with this part right

00:13 The danger in this part is I'm spend 15 2030 minutes talking about the

00:17 . I don't want to spend that time for like five minutes. Then

00:21 that we're going to jump to where left off on thursday, which is

00:24 about membrane potentials. And then we're to pause and then we're going to

00:29 into the nervous system and we're gonna through the nervous system. Then we're

00:32 to pause and jump back to membrane and talk about great potentials and action

00:37 . That is our story for Sound good. Or you feel like

00:41 about football or something? Football, like, okay, let's talk All

00:45 , U of h cannot win a . If we're gonna throw three interceptions

00:49 have one fumble, it will not . It doesn't matter how good we

00:54 , You want to keep going. . I didn't think so. All

00:59 . First up on the paper, should have picked up the topic by

01:02 . You still have time If you if you picked the wrong topic,

01:06 can still change it. Just remember you do change topics, you're jumping

01:09 a different group, let me know I can drop, you know the

01:12 group so we can make that space for someone who might want to change

01:14 topic into that group. When you a topic whenever you're picking any topic

01:19 any class anywhere anytime always write about that you feel comfortable about writing

01:24 Don't write about something you have zero in. If you have zero interest

01:28 it, you will not want to . It will become the most

01:31 horrible, nasty assignment you've ever had period. All right. So look

01:38 the topics kind of get a sense where you want to go. Does

01:41 sound interesting to me? Do I to know more about this?

01:44 You're going to be more interested in this is just generally true if you're

01:48 pushed in a direction for for like I've had students like this,

01:53 not claiming anyone in here is like , but I've had students where their

01:56 are like, you're going to be physician and the student is like,

01:59 don't want to be a physician in , like you're going to be a

02:01 , I don't want to. And they sit there and they dragged their

02:04 the entire way barely passing through the . All right. If you don't

02:09 an interest, you not have a in something, you're not going to

02:12 your effort into it. So make whatever it is that you're doing paper

02:17 life, you have a passion for it is that there's no wrong

02:22 Just find what you enjoy. All . All right. Now, after

02:27 pick your assignment, the good news is that I've set this up in

02:31 a way that every assignment leads to next assignment so it will help propel

02:35 forward and doing stuff. I used have it. Whereas like here to

02:38 your topic over there, that's where paper was. And then people would

02:41 till the very last minute and go I don't know how to do

02:44 It's like no no we're we've made easier. But just remember you're not

02:48 be able to just wait every thursday to get the thing done on

02:52 Okay. Real simple. Of Didn't press about. There we

02:58 All right. Where do you get information? All right. You guys

03:01 the movie? Have you guys watched ? Like three people the rest of

03:09 . Mhm. Put it on the . Yeah. Good bad. And

03:13 ugly, best western ever period. think that's going to be the

03:18 That is the period. All So the good thing the thing that

03:21 want to be spending most of your is in the primary and secondary

03:24 Primary literature is where they do experiments discover what's going on and then report

03:28 it. Secondary literature is what you're producing. It's basically gathering the primary

03:34 reading through it and then kind of oh okay. This is what the

03:38 picture looks like and it summarizes what's on. That doesn't mean you don't

03:42 the secondary literature. In fact you'll probably a lot of it. But

03:45 I want you to do is I you to keep going back here to

03:48 sure that they're telling you the truth not making up stuff. All

03:53 Have you noticed that No one trusts anymore? I mean, I

03:58 just as weak. What's the big this week? Do you want the

04:03 wormer uh Ivermectin? The Nobel prize drug that's used in humans and other

04:11 . All right. Now, the here is does it work for

04:16 The answer is no one knows because no one's tested it.

04:19 Because Covid is new, right? it's used on many types of viral

04:25 . Whole bunch of different types of infections. And if you're one of

04:28 unfortunate kids have got list. Your probably bought something, rubbed it in

04:32 hair. It kills uh life or lice eggs. It's like this wonder

04:39 of killing parasites. Some of you picking the topic of the immune system

04:44 worms. Yeah, the horrible things can live in your body. All

04:50 . But in essence, we don't what it does. And everyone is

04:53 there going this is the way it . And this is the way it

04:56 . And no one's trusting anybody because is politicized. The answer is look

05:01 right. If you go to the literature, you'll find out the truth

05:04 stuff. All right. Now, course. like I said with regard

05:08 Covid and Romek then there's like three out at this point. So jury's

05:13 out. All right. Does it promise? Yes. But is it

05:18 ? No. Actually you guys heard zika virus? Yeah. Everyone in

05:22 . Yeah. Zika. That was that was gonna kill us three years

05:25 . Four years ago. Okay. is one of them that they give

05:28 backed into because it stops the viral from being produced interesting. All

05:35 So, you know who knows? ? But go here. That's where

05:39 truth is going to be found. what people are saying. This is

05:42 we discovered. And then you can out and go yeah, I'm not

05:46 . I really agree with what you or you can look at and go

05:48 , the data supports what you said you can move up. Alright.

05:52 . You want to avoid. Text . Wikipedia time out on the

05:58 If you're using Wikipedia to kind of yourself some background knowledge. Great

06:03 Right? So for example, if forget something like what's a single Myelin

06:08 ? Remember I gave the toxins finger like damn it. I can't remember

06:12 it is. What do I I go to Wikipedia look it up

06:15 quick. Okay. Got it. can move on. All right.

06:18 okay. But it's not a It's a way to give yourself

06:22 Internet, textbooks are the same thing textbooks. There are a good source

06:27 information that's old. All right. Old being the sense that it's now

06:32 common knowledge. So we put it a book. Things that you don't

06:35 to avoid, blogs, avoid anything says dot com. Anything that's a

06:40 or magazine article, primarily because science don't know squat and they don't know

06:44 to interpret. So, anything they say is probably wrong just on its

06:48 because they're just clueless. Not but generally speaking, this stuff is

06:53 incorrect. So you really want to your time up here. But dr

06:57 , I'm talking about this broad project really pretty well established. Yes.

07:01 that's where you go to the secondary . And then what I want you

07:03 do is I want you to push envelope and enter into the primary literature

07:07 see what's new, what's available out . What more have we learned since

07:11 stuff has hit the textbooks. Does make sense? Okay, that's really

07:15 of the goal here. All Where do you get the information?

07:21 , well, you want to go the journals? Well, you can

07:25 your textbook. I don't think your has anything on immunology, does

07:29 Anyone looked anyone bothered to flip through 1400 pages to see if there's a

07:33 on the immune system. Yeah, can go to the textbooks, but

07:37 again, that will give you the information. Uh They have computers so

07:42 you can go and use their search so that you can go look at

07:44 e journals. So your main search . If you hit pub med,

07:47 going to be the sweet spot for field. But there's other areas like

07:51 is a web of knowledge, web science. These are Uh paid for

07:57 university has access to. And then they'll do is they'll give you the

08:03 and the abstract and sometimes they'll point links to the actual journal. If

08:07 pub med, about 70% of them uh free links. So they're open

08:14 or what they'll do is we actually for access to that journal. And

08:17 there's a direct link that you can as long as you're using the university

08:22 . What does that mean? If from home and you and you access

08:27 you may not be able to access journal directly. So you'll have to

08:30 into the library and then access through way. That's basically as long as

08:34 have the university uh internet address on access point, you're in good

08:39 So if you live in the dorms like being in the library except you

08:43 do it in your pajamas weight. can do that at the library to

08:46 pajamas. Yeah. Okay. So do you go for help? Well

08:51 librarians. They're hot. Don't be to talk to him If you don't

08:58 me you haven't been to the library . Go and stop one. See

09:01 they see if I'm lying. See we're right. But basically they'll show

09:07 everything their that's their job is to you how the systems are organized.

09:11 you've never done a uh an article something like that, they can walk

09:15 through the process so they can be uh those group discussions. So the

09:20 that you've joined they're not there for to have really like these long lengthy

09:24 . But if you're like totally lost can always reach out to your

09:27 I've set it up that way that could do it. Um you can

09:30 contact me for any of the assignment that you may have like someone asked

09:34 to is like when is the first do? And I was like let's

09:38 on the 17th not the seventh which what they thought it was. It

09:42 like so I can help you with or if there's like I don't know

09:46 I'm doing, help me help me me. I can probably you know

09:50 of push in the right direction but not going to write your paper for

09:53 . I've already done that. It's exhausting. Um Oh so I'm going

09:59 pause here so like I said I'm try to get through this 10

10:01 10 minutes on the clock up there questions and it's okay to ask questions

10:05 prolong this to 25 minutes if No. Yes. Okay.

10:11 All right so the first assignment do what day 17th? Really? The

10:18 which is your topic? But the is the one we're actually going to

10:21 turning a piece of paper. You to have at least 10 sources that

10:25 . Okay now here's the question. you need to use all 10 sources

10:29 the time your papers written? No can actually change your sources up.

10:33 may find that some of your sources . You may find that you need

10:35 sources. And so your source list going to expand and contract depending upon

10:39 information you end up using. Does kind of makes sense? So in

10:43 words this is this is like I'm going I'm really going up.

10:49 you date someone, do you have marry them? No you get to

10:54 yeah I like certain aspects of you you are not my future. And

10:58 that's what the paper is. You read and go yeah there's stuff in

11:00 but you are not part of my . And so you can put it

11:03 there and you can look at the paper, you can say well you

11:05 part of my future and you add to the pile and we're just presuming

11:09 polygamy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah telling you gonna have fun in this

11:16 . Right? But basically what you is you can decide whether or not

11:19 source is useful. But the hardest is getting started. Right. And

11:23 the first step is to actually find papers. If you can find 10

11:28 , that means you can find 20 . You can find 20 papers,

11:30 can find 25 or 30 and you go through 30 and you can call

11:34 down back to 15. And if don't like the 15 you can move

11:37 up to 20 again. You see I'm saying. It's there's there's an

11:41 here for you have discernment and deciding is good and what is bad.

11:46 that's really the goal. The second is about putting your outline together.

11:50 go look at the instructions. What asking to do when you find your

11:54 sources to tell me what information out that source is useful. Right?

11:59 would I want that? Because when go and write my discussion outline,

12:02 should have some facts. Hopefully not up hopefully from a source.

12:07 And by having a list of sources the fact that you're getting you're actually

12:11 things into order. Do you see this kind of works? You're gonna

12:15 out writing is really, really And then the hard part of actually

12:19 yourself from putting too many words on paper. You're looking at me like

12:23 way. 2000 is like your Yeah, I'm just teaching you.

12:29 forgot to tell you this is Sea . This is a splash zone.

12:35 Shamu Thank you for the last sometimes you get it to the back

12:43 . All right. Any other questions the paper before we go?

12:51 I don't know what 5000 words So like I said somewhere between 3,000

12:55 words. Right? So that's kind a really broad range right? Here

12:59 the horrible answer you're ready for Their paper is as long as it

13:04 to be. I hate when teachers that Right? Where it comes in

13:10 ? I don't know what that So about 5000 words is about where

13:14 sweet spot is. All right. really it's used enough words to explain

13:20 you need to explain without over explaining what that under explaining. That's really

13:23 it boils down to and I don't what that turns into. I've had

13:27 turn in really, really short I've had perfect people turn in really

13:30 papers. Both cases are good in cases they're bad. Right? So

13:34 goal here is communication. How many do I need to communicate now if

13:39 imagine me writing? What type of long are my papers based on how

13:44 talk? Yeah, we have to a lot of editing when I

13:50 it's just all right throughout that Throughout those 7000 words. Oh yeah

13:57 mm. Mhm. Yeah. So the question is about all right we

14:05 peer review coming up. So every there's a peer review attached to

14:08 So you turn in the assignment the day the peer review opens up you're

14:12 get three papers for the first three and they're really easy. They take

14:16 like 10 minutes. All right so not I mean for like all three

14:20 them. So it's like so the one is like all right. Do

14:23 have their 10 references? Yes. . It's it's a real basic question

14:28 answer thing. Do they have their references do they have for each

14:31 Do they have a fact attached to ? Yes and that's the sort of

14:35 . So really the idea here is you double checking and so the reason

14:39 do three so we're getting used to idea that we have multiples that we're

14:41 be doing all along. All But the first three assignments are are

14:45 but then when we have to actually reading stuff assignments get a little bit

14:48 . So instead of being 10 minutes do three of them it might be

14:51 minutes to do five of them. be surprised how quickly and easy it

14:55 to read through stuff. Okay. but yes you're guided along the

15:00 Okay anybody else? Yes we have Yes. So, the question is

15:09 I have to stick to description. of you have picked a topic which

15:13 a very general question. Right. how does this system work? So

15:18 . Now can you add to Yes, but the central point should

15:23 addressing whatever that question happens to So, for example, immunity to

15:28 talk about generalities. How does the system respond to viruses if you want

15:33 then focus in and say, you , under the current situation with you

15:38 , these coronavirus is one of the is how you know, we address

15:42 is how the immune system addresses RNA whatever you want. But the key

15:46 has to be that base thing Right? So if you want if

15:52 doing the one on immunity to you don't want to spend all your

15:54 talking about cancer. You want to all your time talking about the immune

15:59 And how it deals with cancer. can pick a specific one if your

16:03 if you like focusing on breast you're like, oh I love all

16:06 immune response to breast cancer. And do that. That's fine. But

16:09 just one example of like 1000. , understanding the baseline is the important

16:15 . Okay, anyone else does paper you nervous? Stop it. It's

16:22 communicating. Do you know how to Jeanette? A text writing papers is

16:29 texting only longer. All right. have to use punctuation in capital

16:36 No emojis. All right. With more questions. Let's move to part

16:41 . Let's deal with membrane potentials. , So, first off, just

16:46 of a general electricity review. Some things we learn probably back in

16:50 Your body is electrically neutral. That very positive charge in your body.

16:54 is a negative charge. How do know it's electrically neutral electrical. New

16:58 Cali. Start talking fast and just I come up and touch you,

17:04 not going to electrocute you. That's how we know we're neutral,

17:08 dr wayne. I can shock you I rub my feet against the

17:11 Yes. You're now carrying a charge the outside of your body, which

17:14 really fun to do. Right? to the cat. All right.

17:21 know this opposites attract same charges Yes. I should be double check

17:32 . Yes. Okay. Well, a good. And remember always check

17:36 light the light on. Yeah, light turns off. Sound goes

17:42 All right. All right. opposites attract so, I mean,

17:45 negative charges and drawn towards each Like charges are repelled. All

17:50 So, negatives repel each other. . Richard tell each other. All

17:53 . Two separate two charges. That energy. Just like students at a

17:58 it requires energy to keep the two attracted to each other apart. Do

18:02 guys remember dances? Did you guys dances? Okay. Every generation.

18:07 gets weirder and weirder. Right. we had dances, Everyone danced

18:13 We had the chaperones had come They would separate us. You

18:16 they didn't like that. The whole close to each other to separate and

18:20 after they walked away, right back again. All right. So it

18:24 energy to keep those charges apart. is, here's our body, here's

18:31 platinum membrane. Here's are like, know, the electrical, electrically

18:36 You can count up all the charges both sides and you'll see the positives

18:40 negatives are equal. But what we here is we have charges that have

18:45 up and then we have charges that not paired up. And so what

18:49 is the ones that haven't paired up attracted to each other on either side

18:53 the membrane and they align themselves on side of the membrane. Now I

18:57 the really dumbest example. You ready the dumb example requires a little bit

19:01 knowledge of Houston. You guys know Lamar high school is. Okay,

19:05 is this school? That's right next tomorrow. High school ST jOHn's I

19:09 it All right there, side by . Lamar is a big old

19:12 A school ST john's is a big private school. All right. So

19:17 it's high school lunch. All At the high school lunch. You

19:21 imagine both schools, there are right? Cause it's high school and

19:25 these couples are giving each other google . They walk out of the building

19:29 lunchtime holding their sack lunches, google I. H. O. I

19:32 you. I love you too. they go and they sit down and

19:35 you have I'm sorry, the sad . Right? They're not paired

19:41 They walk out. It's like, , is me. I don't have

19:44 negative charge. And they walk And because both schools are side by

19:48 , they're separated by a little tiny ft chain link fence. And you

19:53 imagine the paired up stuff are out the out on the lawns, google

19:56 each other. And then the unpaid . They walk out and they stopped

20:01 they look and on the other side the fence is the opposite charge.

20:07 what do they do? They walked the fence and they stand and stare

20:15 the fence. You're Did I paint picture? Okay, good.

20:21 you now understand membrane potentials. In , what we have here is we

20:28 two charges on either side of that that attracted to each other that can't

20:32 anywhere. They can't get close to other because the membrane sits in the

20:37 it's doing the work of separation. right. So, there's potential energy

20:43 . All right. So all we do, let's go to the

20:47 Excuse me the fence open the gate that. And then the charges can

20:54 and give each other google's eyes not the fence. All right. And

20:58 potential energy turns into kinetic energy until reach equilibrium. All right.

21:05 that's what a membrane potential is. right. It's not a charge on

21:09 membrane. It's a charge near the . Its charges that are attracted to

21:13 other that can't reach each other. right. So, that's why it's

21:17 of hanging out there on the So, when you hear the word

21:21 potential, which is a scary word like if I don't know what the

21:24 mean, the potential refers to the energy. So, the membrane has

21:28 energy. It has potential to do and it's measurable, Alright. Measurable

21:33 volts. So, if you take probe and shove it into the cell

21:37 put the outside as the ground, can say what is the difference between

21:41 ground and the probe and it will you in volts how different the inside

21:46 the cell is versus the outside. , this isn't Mila volts not in

21:50 himself. So, it's very, small. So, it's the difference

21:54 charge between those two localized regions right either side of that memory that we're

22:01 at. All right now, there's both an electric There's what we refer

22:08 as an electrical chemical gradient here with to the membrane potential and what that

22:13 us is is that the ions that looking at are following the rules of

22:18 gradients, meaning that I only want move to an area of high

22:22 to an area of low concentration. all understand that one, right.

22:26 the electrical half of that is that follow the same kind of rules.

22:31 typically what we're going to see is the electrical gradient is opposite the chemical

22:36 for a particular ion. And there's point of equilibrium where the movement of

22:41 eye on down its concentration gradient will result in the pull back to the

22:47 direction along its electrical gradient. So to put it in english and

22:51 going to see this in just a is as a positive ion starts moving

22:54 this direction down its concentration gradient, leaving behind a negative charge.

23:00 as positive moves down, it's increasing over here. And then of

23:05 at some point that negative charge is to be as strong as the chemical

23:10 , which is going to draw the island back and then you're going to

23:14 that equilibrium down the the electrochemical gradient really what we're looking. So,

23:21 two things are in opposition. All . Now, you'll hear resting membrane

23:27 All cells are always if they're things are happening all right. But

23:33 we say is that arresting membrane potentials the cell is not just doing its

23:38 . It hasn't been stimulated to do . All right. So, every

23:42 has a resting membrane potential and this membrane potential is constant for that

23:49 What happens is is when we stimulate . That's when we create change and

23:53 can use that change in the membrane to do work. Which is what

23:59 potentials and greater potentials are. what do we have? What is

24:06 ? What are the people? Excuse ? The people the ions, not

24:10 students, the ions. What are ions that are giving goo goo eyes

24:13 each other? Really. That's what interested in. All right.

24:17 these are the big players. sodium , potassium, calcium, phosphate,

24:21 by carbon And the fun one. antibiotic cellular proteins. All right.

24:28 going to pause here and I on . What does that mean NATO charge

24:33 inside the cell proteins, proteins so charged cell proteins. So, don't

24:40 afraid of the big words. Just it down if you see it.

24:42 . So, it tells you we these proteins that are negatively charged inside

24:46 . So, these are all the players. But the ones who are

24:49 interested in are sodium potassium and the negatively charged proteins. All right

24:57 I'm going to show this down here we're going to come back and play

25:00 this a lot. But remember we've looked at this. We said look

25:04 of these pumps, we basically create imbalances between the ions and so,

25:09 you look at sodium for example, lots of sodium on the outside of

25:13 cell. Very little sodium on the of the cell. For potassium there's

25:16 little potassium. We've pumped a whole into the cell and then we haven't

25:20 talked about an ionic cellular proteins. because their cellular proteins, there's lots

25:25 the cell. There's very little if outside the cell. All right.

25:31 , these are kind of their their their values. In terms of their

25:36 Mueller or values, do you have memorize them? No, just lots

25:42 and lots. Depending on which side looking at. Just know where they're

25:46 . All right. So, what want to do is I want to

25:49 look at potassium and explain that So here we have a system where

25:55 put those that potassium and the antarctic proteins inside a fake cell we put

26:01 into a solution of sodium chloride. you look at the number of sodium

26:04 the number of chlorine. Is everything ? Well, I mean, is

26:09 positive and negative charges balanced? On the inside positive negative charge

26:15 So, we have an electrically neutral . We're all in agreement.

26:19 Okay, great. All we're doing looking at positive negative charges.

26:22 yes. All right. In terms chemical balance. Do we have chemical

26:26 . And I saw a lot of going when I was doing that.

26:29 , do we have chemical balance? , we have zero sodium On the

26:34 , we have zero potassium on the , right? zero chlorine, zero

26:37 accelerate protein. So, it's really of it's really out of balance when

26:42 comes to chemicals. All right. , what we're gonna do in our

26:45 situation, we're gonna put a potassium channel in place. All right.

26:50 , this is a great little model they're using a nice round number that

26:53 can divide in half. Four divided is 2. 2 divided by two

26:59 1. So, see it works , really well. Alright, So

27:03 I am, I'm putting the potassium channel which only allows potassium. So

27:09 is going to move down its concentration out of the cell. Now,

27:14 things, if nothing else was how much potassium would move out of

27:17 cell to equilibrium? Two. You see that? All right,

27:23 We've all learned chemistry. Thank Dr Bean and all the other people

27:29 there that I don't know their Dr Larson maybe I don't know.

27:35 , the problem is, is that channel is only good for potassium.

27:39 , when potassium leaves it leaves behind negative charge, right? So,

27:44 gonna be a point where that negative becomes more attractive than that chemical gradient

27:50 . So there's gonna be a point a potassium leaves and says, well

27:53 is nice. But you know those charges in there? They're pretty

27:57 So I'm going to head on back and it's going to go back in

28:01 cell and go, you know, negative charges are nice. But that

28:05 grading out there, that's pretty And I'm going to come back out

28:08 then it's going to keep doing that and forth, back and forth.

28:11 that's when equilibrium has been met. loose. Yes, Could you

28:22 Right. So, the question is when you're saying a negative

28:28 are you saying it's just as the leaves? That's one less positive

28:33 So, yes, I mean, when we're talking about movement, we're

28:37 watching talking about the movement of a ion. And so the negative charge

28:43 is really on the proteins and this a terrible model because we don't really

28:47 how many, at least in our model here, how many negative ions

28:52 around. You need to balance scary. Looking back back, I

28:56 know how many positive violence you need balance out a negative protein because it

29:00 have multiple sites. Right? But really what it's in terms of

29:05 you know, it's basically equal liberated what we're saying. All right.

29:11 what we have is we have a moving outward, we have that electrical

29:16 moving inward and at some point where said where those two things reach equilibrium

29:21 when that potassium is basically dancing backwards forwards now, why do we have

29:25 negative charge on the inside the antibiotic proteins are stuck on the inside.

29:29 can't leave out that channel and they're too big to be moved anyway.

29:34 . So they serve kind of is negative charge on the inside? That

29:38 an attractive for any positive charge? right. So, the study wants

29:42 go in for two reasons, Why does so do you want to

29:46 with it? I said two reasons concentration and positive charge. It's like

29:52 attracted to that antibiotic cellular protein, I can't get in there because in

29:56 little model, we have no channel it to do so. Right.

30:00 , the only thing in this little that we're looking at is the movement

30:03 potassium. Now this movement where the out to the movement in is that

30:11 potential. So, remember that horrible thing you read way back a couple

30:16 ago about the nearest equation and it like blah blah blah blah math,

30:20 blah blah blah blah more math. extra math. And by the

30:23 let me read it derive the So that was confusing. And you

30:26 to account to God in a fetal . Got into the pillows. Just

30:30 of rocked a little bit right? I said, you don't have to

30:33 this, right? That's what the equation does it calculates out that equilibrium

30:39 . So, we could figure out what point does potassium stop moving?

30:47 know, there's there's no net No net diffusion. All right.

30:51 the nerds to equation, that's the potential. We could do the same

30:56 for or for sodium. Alright, sodium channels, sodium moves in.

31:01 will keep moving in until it reaches equilibrium potential. The point when the

31:06 that that it's carrying with it is attracted back out to where the chlorine

31:11 left behind. So, that value to be if we calculated out 60

31:16 bowls, do you have to memorize ? No? Is it helpful to

31:19 it? Yes. I'm not going ask him on the test. All

31:23 . Now, why is it helpful know? We'll see here in just

31:26 second. The other slide didn't tell what potassium is was but I'll get

31:30 in a second. Yes, mm. Heard. Yes.

31:37 not yet. We're not. We gotten to the work part yet,

31:40 all we're trying to do is try understand why the ions are moving.

31:44 , there's a chemical gradient there's an gradient. All right. Now,

31:48 time one of those sodium was one those potassium moves, right, you're

31:52 creating problems because both of them are simultaneously. Right? And so what's

31:57 is it's like wait, wait, , wait. You just moved

32:00 You know, I put you in inside the cell, potassium I want

32:04 inside the cell. But you just out and sodium you just moved in

32:08 I put you just outside. So , we're not gonna have any of

32:11 . We're going to go grab you we're gonna put you right back where

32:13 started. And this is what that potassium at pes pump. Does It

32:17 for roughly 20% of that membrane If we go and measure that

32:23 that's going to be about 20% of is accounted for by that pump.

32:27 really what we're doing is we're saying without that pump, if you look

32:31 sodium and its movement, potassium and movement, all those other molecules or

32:34 other items in their movement, eventually sort of equilibrium would come along.

32:40 . And what's happening is we're keeping movement going by constantly moving things back

32:45 where they started. That's what the doesn't creates the potential energy and ultimately

32:52 kinetic energy because it's constantly moving to that we have the membrane potential at

32:58 certain value. Alright, notice. haven't talked about value yet. We

33:03 said how that we got that That's what the next step is echoing

33:11 . I like this microphone right All right. Yeah. Back to

33:18 little chart notice, I'm not even the stuff that I pointed out earlier

33:22 here. We have a little thing our chart that says relative permeability and

33:27 relative permeability basically says is the relative of channels for sodium and potassium and

33:35 for the antarctic cellular proteins, there's ever channels for an ionic cellular protein

33:39 they're big channels are small, right wise for everyone. sodium channel,

33:46 have roughly 50-75 potassium channels. All back to the storytelling, back to

33:52 things in perspective for you have all to a football game or any other

33:55 of sporting event. Yes, halftime comes along, everyone gets

33:59 goes to the bathroom, guys, at the guys, How long does

34:02 take us to go to the bathroom that ladies? How long does it

34:06 you to go to the bathroom? you'll get back around the fourth

34:10 Right, right. You've got massive why its permeability issues. All

34:17 I'm gonna give away secrets today. apologize. Ladies guys, P and

34:25 . Right, guys are looking at like what you know what I'm talking

34:29 , talking about the trough, Where we go in there and it's

34:31 that big old thing, that big metal thanks to the guys are

34:34 I can't believe you're talking about Right? We walk in there,

34:38 walk, we never look at each throats, walks. All right,

34:42 we go and we're basically shoulders shoulder we do our business and they were

34:47 , And then you're out. ladies, you have stalls, you

34:51 people who do your nails and You know, it takes forever.

34:56 know it's a different game. But if a men's restroom was like a

35:00 restroom where you have 10 stalls vs . Trust where you can put 40

35:05 shoulder to shoulder, not stare at other. Right. You would go

35:08 lot quicker. You're just officer Thank God I'm a woman. All

35:14 . All right. So that's a permeability issue. Right. It's a

35:19 showing. And so what's happening here we say, look, The uh

35:26 equilibrium potential for potassium based on those . We can calculate it out and

35:31 comes out to about -90 million That's when potassium stops moving or there's

35:37 net diffusion. I've got to be of what I'm saying here for

35:41 We can look out. We can that about 60 million volts. And

35:44 we go and look at a real cell that has leaked channels in it

35:49 those ratios, then what we can is the one with the most leak

35:53 can probably have the greater effect on membrane potential. Would you agree?

35:59 , if if if there was just if we can find with leak

36:04 we can find that equilibrium. And we um uh, have more of

36:10 channels relative to this one over then we're basically this one is going

36:14 have a greater effect on what that is ultimately going to be. Does

36:19 kind of makes sense? Right. so that's what's going on. So

36:25 greater permeability for soda or for potassium a larger effect. So that your

36:31 have a membrane potential that looks a like that, -90 more so than

36:37 plus 60. So, if you at it together and this is just

36:41 of painting the picture, right, got lots of potassium inside the cell

36:46 lots of channels for it to leak . So, when potassium leaks

36:50 it's trying to reach -90, We a couple of channels for sodium,

36:56 is leaking in. It's trying to the cell up to plus 60,

37:00 because there's only one channel for every of those, it barely has an

37:05 . It has enough of an effect it drags away from -90. But

37:09 essence because we never reached -19 because never reached plus 60, we have

37:14 flow. So, the cell is constant flux and constant flow. It

37:19 to reach that equilibrium for either Right? And it never can.

37:26 because it never can. That means potential energy that can be used and

37:31 very easily is what we're trying to out. So, for a neuron

37:40 membrane potential is -70 at rest. right. And it's just sitting there

37:47 for something to stimulate it so that can get greater flow so that you

37:53 have work done now to be careful , what we're doing is everything is

37:57 potential because you got potassium trying to out, you got sodium trying to

38:00 in. But if I open I'm gonna have movement or flow and

38:05 going to cause change, that's going be that voltage change that we're going

38:09 use to do stuff with. do that kind of makes sense.

38:14 of sort of over here, kind sort of you ready for me to

38:18 the broader picture sort of nodding of . All right. So where we're

38:27 to do is we're going to pause here. We understand membrane potentials sort

38:33 right. We need to then understand the nervous system is, what we're

38:36 with and then we'll come back and gonna deal with greater potential and action

38:40 . So we can see why this . Okay. And where I

38:45 it's gonna be jumping around a All right. All right. This

38:48 the big picture of the summary. , there's a lot of stuff from

38:51 textbook there, blah, blah, blah. Positive changes in membrane

38:56 That's the abbreviation for membrane potential. . It's basically the difference between the

39:01 the inside the outside, right? a steady state. Um depending upon

39:06 permeability changes in the positive direction, going from negative towards zero is gonna

39:13 a deep polarization. That's an inward of cat ions. Negative change is

39:19 we call the hyper polarization. That's outward flow. And just so that

39:22 have our language Easy to understand. guys remember number lines back in 3rd

39:29 . All right. Those of you . This was that number line.

39:35 , Fideldle. zero in the All right. I'm just gonna use

39:39 terminology here. So we better understand . When you're at zero, you're

39:43 neutral. Eight point beyond zero is polarized. Doesn't matter which direction you

39:50 . This is a negative direction. is the positive direction. Right?

39:55 , looking at me this is the direction is positive direction. Right

39:58 If I'm sitting on zero, that's . If I step away over

40:02 I'm polarized right in the negative If I step away over here,

40:09 polarized, right? Because I'm not zero. Right? If this is

40:14 . If I step right here I'm not on zero so far.

40:19 good. All right. So, polarized myself way over here in the

40:23 direction. Right? If I move towards zero I'm becoming less polarized than

40:30 was before. So, I'm d . If I returned back to my

40:37 position, I'm re polarizing. And if I moved further away from

40:43 I'm more polar than I was when began. So I'm hyper polarized.

40:48 ? So polarized is a state other zero. And I use that as

40:53 frame of reference. All right. that's what that term is.

40:57 I'm going more sorry, more or polarized over here in the negative deep

41:05 , remember is in a positive It's towards zero. If I'm over

41:11 in the positive side, it's Right? Because we're zero. It's

41:16 there. So, if I'm d , I'm moving towards zero. If

41:21 becoming more polarized, I'm moving away zero. So, that's why we

41:27 those particular terms. All right, , we're going to see in a

41:31 bit that I'm gonna start down here the negative. I'm gonna move toward

41:37 . That would be deep polarized. I keep moving beyond zero. I

41:43 change the name. It's still deep . And then when I turn back

41:48 go back to where I started, still re polarization. Alright. So

41:53 though I've crossed the zero line, not extra polarizing or hyper polarizing to

41:59 moon in the other direction. It's that initial movement. All right.

42:03 , I throw that in there because can be a little confusing. All

42:07 . In terms of the language. , we can move on and deal

42:11 little bit with some anatomy here. right. The nervous system. His

42:20 and scary if you like it we whole classes that you get to go

42:25 to learn about the nervous system. . And it is it's probably the

42:29 complex of all the systems. We understand a lot of it. But

42:34 what we have is we have to types of cells. All right.

42:38 again, this is a simplified kindergarten . Just go with it. We

42:43 neurons. Neurons produce electrical signals that then use along their lengths to actually

42:53 the release of a chemical signal to with cells next to it. All

42:58 . So, in a perricone that's in essence what they do.

43:01 distances that were using the electoral signals very long. So, for

43:06 I can produce an action potential in axon. All right. This is

43:09 electrical potential in my spinal cord that travel down the length of my

43:13 down to my big toe. So can wiggle it. All right.

43:17 a pretty long cell. All And so that's when we're talking long

43:21 . That would be an example of long distance. Does it have to

43:23 that long? No, I neurons can also be very, very

43:27 and they communicate to each other very close. Right. But the

43:31 is that using electrical potentials to travel distances, it's much more efficient than

43:37 a chemical. All right. you can have an electrical signaling.

43:42 , most of that. I just their results in the release of a

43:45 signal that communicates to the next Which would be that paragraph type of

43:49 . We refer to those chemicals as . But there are some cells that

43:55 connected to each other and they use gap junctions and thus electrical signalling.

43:59 right. So you can have an signal that's generated one cell that continues

44:04 the next cell, into the next , Into the next cell through those

44:07 junctions. The other type of seller cells. Glial cells are support

44:14 The word glial literally means glue. it's the glue cells that hold the

44:19 together. Okay, They don't directly in electrical transmission. They support the

44:27 and they outnumber neurons roughly. 10 what? So, if you know

44:30 football, how many people are on side? I'm looking at some of

44:35 here who should be able to blurt answer out right away. How many

44:38 are on the side? It's the sport. Come on guys. How

44:45 people on the baseball side? Thank you. Right. I mean

44:50 a soccer side there, I'll hit . Hit that note. 11.

44:55 American football, rugby and soccer all all sourced from the exact same

45:00 It's 11. How many quarterbacks? have an aside one? All

45:07 Only one quarterback on the team. many other players then are on the

45:10 with that one quarterback? 10. the neurons are like the quarterbacks of

45:16 nervous system and the glial cells are the rest of the team.

45:20 we look at the quarterback and we and on were so impressed by accepting

45:24 three interceptions in one game that we winning handily I might add,

45:33 I'm very upset by this weekend time . What is my college? Where

45:39 I go to school? And 2-2 play this week? Anyone now they

45:43 Oklahoma. Ou number two in the . They were getting their butts handed

45:48 him two lane was getting their butts to him in third quarter, two

45:50 came back and was a touchdown a of winning. But they came one

45:55 shy of 1/4 down conversion. So lost. And so when you're already

46:01 for them to lose, it's it's no big deal. But then

46:04 you're like in the last minute of game and you're sitting there, you're

46:06 win, they're gonna win. And they don't, then it's really,

46:09 upsetting. Right? So I'm still grudges and I'm like, oh,

46:15 for lots of reasons. All So I use this example because neurons

46:21 like quarterbacks and they look really, good because all the glial cells are

46:26 them, making them do stuff or them do stuff quarterback can't look

46:31 If the receiver can't catch the quarterback is going to be tackled.

46:35 there's not a line to block for , that makes sense. So that's

46:39 same sort of thing here. So and glial cells now there's an organization

46:44 when I say organization, this doesn't the bodies organized this way. It

46:47 humans look at this system and how can I system? Eyes?

46:52 structure for me to understand it Okay, so there's a lot of

46:57 of the lines here, but there's very simple stuff. All right.

47:01 have two parts. We have a nervous system and the peripheral nervous

47:05 Looking at our bodies here, ignoring red line which is your outlined.

47:09 two systems are the brain and the cord in yellow. That is central

47:13 system. Everything else is blue. peripheral nervous system. Alright. The

47:19 nervous system. Are your nerves? right. You do not have nerves

47:24 the central nervous system. All You might want to put a little

47:28 by that because that's one of I better know the terminology here because

47:32 one might appear on the exam, if you're in my ap class because

47:35 don't listen. Alright, neurons and are two different things. So nerves

47:41 part of the peripheral nervous system. right. They are not part of

47:45 central nervous system. So, if say, where is the optic nerve

47:49 ? Central? Peripheral, The answer always peripheral. If you have the

47:52 nerve in it, it's peripheral. right. The peripheral nervous system is

47:57 information that goes in or comes out the central nervous system. That's why

48:01 nerves the nerves are carrying information to carrying an information away from the central

48:07 system. So spinal cord makes The brain makes decisions. All

48:13 It's a processing, But everything else going in or coming out. And

48:17 , what we do is we can the the in and out first.

48:22 in I'm gonna I'm gonna put a strong accent on these things. So

48:25 can hear it is the a Farrant that's information going in is a

48:30 Alright, information coming out is a . All right. If you are

48:35 other parts of the country where they put the air on everything,

48:39 Then, they're going to say efforts different. Which is very confusing.

48:45 ? So, a parent and eat . All right. Not a different

48:49 different. Which is uh frustrating. right. The somatic division is part

48:56 both the parent and the parent. the motor neurons. They're the things

49:01 let your body move around. So, skeletal muscles. Soma

49:06 So, when you hear somatic think , okay, autonomic is not

49:15 People think that they hear it. go, oh, it must be

49:18 autonomic. These are the neurons innovate glands are smooth muscle, your cardiac

49:23 , not the third. Now, muscle. Right? So, here

49:28 are not in control of these All right. So, they're often

49:33 Mickley controlled. Which is not the thing as automatically, or even

49:41 I like auto magic. It's much . It's like voodoo is like the

49:45 starts it's automatic. All right. we have a division again, which

49:50 sympathetic and parasympathetic. And we'll get those a little bit later. But

49:53 I'm pointing out here in all this from peripheral versus central, all of

49:58 little different subdivisions and stuff just makes easier to put things in a

50:02 Do you like to put things in ? Yeah, we all do.

50:08 . You pulled up a shirt. this a colored shirt Or is an

50:12 shirt? Right. It goes in category. We like to have stuff

50:16 that. And that's what the first neurologist were doing. Was there putting

50:21 in categories so that they could better what was going on. Now.

50:24 right here is a neuron. All . This is a simple simplified

50:29 Here's a cell body. Sometimes called Soma. Alright. Sometimes called the

50:34 carry on. It contains the This is where all of them cellular

50:38 is around the end. We have . Sorry, one. I'll start

50:44 again. 1234567 extensions. All Typically any extension off the soma is

50:52 a dendrite, but we have one . That's a special dendrite. All

50:56 . We call it the axon. axon is the sending dendrite. All

51:01 other dendrites are receiving dendrites. All . So, we call them the

51:05 . We call the acts on the . That was not very helpful.

51:10 call the sending dendrite and axon. call the other ones just dendrites

51:15 How is that? A little bit ? All right, now, I

51:18 this little information here. So, happens? And when this receives a

51:22 , it's going to produce a greater . You're like, I don't know

51:26 greater potential is that's okay. In , I'm going to get to in

51:29 next 30 minutes because we're running out time and I'm starting to drag

51:35 an axon starts here. What is the axon hillock. This is where

51:39 produce action potentials. All right. then that action potential is going to

51:45 along the length of the axon down the axon terminal where it releases a

51:49 to stimulate the next cell produce the great potential in the next cell so

51:54 you can hopefully produce next potential repeat. This is how the cells

51:57 talking and relaying a message from one of the next down the line.

52:03 right, So sell body dendrite axon terminal axon hillock. These are just

52:09 of the cell that you should be of. Now, in order for

52:12 to produce chemicals or release chemicals. have to first get the chemicals down

52:16 the acts on terminal. Remember the bodies where all the organelles are.

52:21 so we have to do is we to make the signal and transport the

52:25 and vesicles down to the very acts terminal, very end of that long

52:30 . And so what we use is use axon or toxoplasma transport. We

52:35 anterograde anterograde is when I'm moving towards axon terminal retrograde is not putting on

52:42 fifties dress and saying, look, from the fifties, retrograde is moving

52:46 the opposite direction. That didn't make lot of sense. The 50s

52:51 But I was picturing someone in a dress because that's right. True Actually

52:57 you guys retro is the 70s. huh. Yeah. Retro 70s.

53:04 . I'm actually watching many of you walking around wearing t shirts that I

53:08 when I was in high school. . My favorite ones when I see

53:13 people were in the led Zeppelin zz stuff. It's like, you don't

53:16 that band. Uh huh. They I don't know I listen to

53:22 My parents left listen to. So knows. All right, neurons are

53:27 by structure. So what you can is you can first look at the

53:31 . He didn't count them. Here's act or here's your cytoplasm, your

53:35 , your your cell body and you go around and say how many dendrites

53:39 I count off that, how many to account there one. So that

53:43 what is called a unit polar neuron has one. Dendrite. But wait

53:48 second. Don't you ever receiving a a sending end. Yes, it's

53:52 unique one. It's actually not truly the unit polar anymore. It's called

53:56 pseudo uni Polar. And basically you a sending in and the receiving

54:02 We don't need to worry about that yet. All right Here this is

54:06 because you have 1-2. And then two it's like we don't care.

54:11 just lots. So it's multi All right, so 1, 2

54:17 lots. Okay, another thing you do is you can look in terms

54:22 the actual uh let's see what am trying to do here? Oh this

54:27 just structure. So it's just trying show you different types. So with

54:30 to the bipolar for example, there's a lot of these in the

54:34 There's only really two bipolar cells that really kind of spent a lot of

54:38 talking about and they both happen to um located in the special senses and

54:47 both have the name bipolar selling So they're really easy to identify.

54:51 right. But basically what they're doing basically sitting for one signal and they're

54:54 of serving as an intermediate intermediary between other cells. Uh These right here

55:00 super unit polar, basically what you're is you're receiving on one end and

55:05 that signal travels along the length of Axiron is really what it's called.

55:11 it just it completely bypasses that cell . Most of the cells we're gonna

55:16 looking at are going to follow this here which is that pyramidal cell and

55:20 called pyramidal cell because the shape of pair of carrion. But in essence

55:24 it is is basically here the It receives a signal here and then

55:28 out the axon and then this one , what do you think it's

55:32 estelle? It I heard it. Stella star right now. The cartoon

55:39 like a star fish, but it's same principles. Just lots of

55:44 Do you see an accent in this one? Do they want any of

55:48 branches stand out as an ax I'm just a simple yes or

55:54 no. Okay. And the answer that's correct. These are cells that

55:58 find in large networks and so basically can signal in any direction. So

56:03 any particular one stands out as an on Yeah, signals. So,

56:12 think I understand what you're asking. question is, what, what type

56:15 signal is being produced by the Alright, so that's gonna be what

56:19 an action potential. All right. it has a unique characteristic which we're

56:24 to look at here. Hopefully in next 24 minutes we'll see. And

56:29 with the great potentials there, the that you produce greater potential is slightly

56:33 . So let me kind of get it. And if I didn't answer

56:35 question, you didn't answer my You suck. And then we can

56:38 to go from there. Alright. now we're dealing with modality modality just

56:43 is a term that says what type information is it conveying? And so

56:47 ask the question, is it sending to or is it from?

56:50 So if you're sitting information towards the nervous system, you're considering a parent

56:55 a sensory neuron. If you're sending away from the nervous system right?

57:01 are a motor neuron. You're trying tell something to do something. That's

57:05 the seafaring. Alright. Are you it to the body proper? In

57:10 words like you know the skin or muscles? And it's a somatic

57:14 If you're sending it to the viscera the guts, the internal organs,

57:19 considered a visceral neuron. So do think from your stomach? Do you

57:24 you have neurons that travel from your to your central nervous system june

57:30 Yes. If you're traveling to the from the central nervous system to your

57:35 . Can you be in different or affair in which one would you be

57:40 ? Right. So you can be visceral different. You can be a

57:44 a Farrant, you can be a difference. You can be a somatic

57:48 fair notice that each of these things now have four neurons that we've just

57:51 about. Right? And then the weird ones. You can be a

57:56 neuron or you can be a general we never say something is general.

57:59 have to just say you're special. right. We don't just say,

58:02 everyone you're all generals but you're You just point to the special person

58:08 spoke to the special neurons. So are eight types of neurons. So

58:13 can be a special somatic, a or a special visceral. You can

58:18 where I'm going with all this. ? So it's just those different combinations

58:23 regard to glial cells. Remember we they don't conduct nerve impulses. Their

58:27 is to communicate with the nerve or the neurons and the other glial cells

58:32 ensure that the environment for that neuron . So it's kind of the connective

58:37 of the nervous tissue. Alright. of. It's not an actual connective

58:41 . Their job is to maintain the cellular environment. There are four types

58:46 glial cells that are found in the nervous system. There are two that

58:50 focused here in the periphery. Oh , I just said that.

58:56 so again, what do I tell about biologist? We name things for

59:02 they do or what they look Astrocytes. Why are they called

59:07 They look like stars. You know were discovered in Houston? I'm

59:10 I'm kidding. You're you're right, right. I'm just making stuff up

59:15 now. Yeah. But I just that. It's it's it's a fun

59:17 at two o'clock in the afternoon All . Danger sites. This is for

59:22 they look like again. What does go mean many din dro extensions or

59:30 that's why it's called. They're really branches. It's a tree branch.

59:34 ? So many tree branch cell. . So it has lots of

59:38 Micro glia glial self. So it's pronounced micro glia. Because you know

59:46 not make it confusing but micro you be nice to see if it's

59:55 to sleep you knew. Mhm. my computer. All right. And

60:02 the last one happened. Donald said don't know what happened. Email comes

60:04 but it's a different Schwann cells named the person who discovered it. And

60:08 satellite cell basically it surrounds the other . All right now, in terms

60:15 their functionality, I'm just gonna just through them really briefly. So astrocytes

60:20 the neurons. They basically are the and chemical support system. So they

60:24 the nutrients of cell. Once glucose has to pass first through an astro

60:29 to get there and it gets So they're actually getting lactate. They're

60:33 actually getting glucose. Alright, They potassium levels so they monitor the surrounding

60:39 and they also help synthesize synthesize uh usually in the process of breaking

60:45 But they allow for materials to get the neurons helps form the blood brain

60:50 and acts like neural scar tissue. thought I said car tissue up there

60:55 got real nervous. I had a once came to me and said,

60:58 Doctor Wayne when I was a Someone hit me with a pickax right

61:01 . What happened? I'm just I don't know man. That's that's

61:06 stuff. And I said, what is is that when you damage those

61:11 , the neurons that died there replaced scar tissue? All right. And

61:16 scar tissue are glial cells like astro they fill in that space and then

61:20 neurons work around that space to do job. You know? So,

61:26 would be an example of the scar . Just like, I don't know

61:29 you can see a horrible scar here my chin. Why not just All

61:34 . So, there's two different types myelin producing cells, Myelin helps speed

61:38 transmission of action potentials. So in central nervous system we have the logo

61:43 site. So there is the actual body. There's 123 extensions in our

61:46 cartoon here. What it's doing is out and then it wraps itself around

61:51 axon and basically serves as a barrier that acts on and the surrounding

61:57 So action potentials are going to move the barrier is going to jump over

62:03 barrier Schwann cells. It's individual cells the same thing. These are the

62:08 sheets. So, if you've heard island sheets, that's what they're

62:11 They're forming Myelin sheaths. We can many axons or doing one acts on

62:18 cell does one x on microglia. is a really cool immune defense

62:24 All right. So basically sits around does nothing. Just kind of hangs

62:28 . But if you get an infection the beyond the blood brain barrier you

62:33 these things and they act like That's not all they do. But

62:36 like the big one. Um it that they serve kind of as stem

62:41 to for the other cells. But not 100% certain. Now jumping

62:48 remember I said we're pausing and then jumping and pausing. So now we

62:51 what we're talking about. We're talking neurons. We kind of have a

62:54 of what they look like. All . And for the next 17 minutes

62:59 we're gonna do is we're gonna try deal with the question of great in

63:02 potentials. So, in order for eye on to get past this lipid

63:06 layer, it's remember it's water it has to have some sort of

63:10 because it can't pass through this. channels are what allow for honest to

63:15 back and forth. All right. we need to understand that one concept

63:18 understand greater potential in action and action . An action potential is a very

63:25 very large very rapid change in the potential. So remember we said we

63:30 a resting membrane potential. All where we're just kind of sitting there

63:34 nothing and we put probe in and can measure and say, oh,

63:38 difference from the inside of the outside this? So we're saying minus

63:42 Were saying the inside the cell is million volts less than the outside.

63:46 what that minus 70 means. And , what happens is when an action

63:50 occurs, What we're doing is we're up channels, changing permeability and we're

63:56 ions to move so that the inside the cell is no longer negative.

64:00 very positive. Okay, so, a very rapid climb. It's 100

64:07 change, Right? And then it off, and then we returned back

64:12 our original starting point. Now, you look at this, what I

64:16 to understand, we're looking at a point. All right. It's like

64:20 at her while we're asking the what's going on in the rest of

64:24 classroom. All right. So, only looking at what this one student

64:28 doing when we're looking at one of charts and we're looking at the chart

64:32 time. So, down here, is time that's millennials. So when

64:37 action potential is formed, it moves what is called a non detrimental

64:43 What that means is is once you one, it's always a strong for

64:47 entire time that it exists. All . And really what it is,

64:52 a wave of ions moving in and of the cell? All right.

64:57 , what it looks like it looks the wave. Have you ever done

64:59 wave? We're gonna wake him up the other end already, we're gonna

65:03 the way we're gonna start over You guys got to do the

65:06 All right. Ready? You don't to stand up. Just do the

65:10 . Yeah. It just went right them. We're gonna do it

65:14 Ready. We're gonna be more excited it because have you ever done the

65:17 in the class? No. So be excited about it. Wait,

65:24 , now, I'm going to ask question right over here. How did

65:26 guys know to raise your hands? watched over there? So your responsiveness

65:33 dependent upon the people in front of which is dependent on people in front

65:36 you and so on and so I served as a stimulus.

65:41 And so we're going to do the but because they're the splash zone,

65:45 going to stare at her. Everyone her as we all do the

65:49 Okay. Yes, you gotta do . Right. All right.

65:54 we're gonna do the wave ready? we go. We're watching her.

65:58 right. Now notice when she did wave where did her hands start down

66:03 ? Someplace right, okay. When wave came by her, what did

66:07 do? She lifted her hands They reached a peak and then they

66:11 right back down. Right. So you all do that? Yes,

66:17 if we were charting her and just because she's this is where the probe

66:22 . That's what it looked like. see that. So this is just

66:26 wave at a single point overtime. we're asking what's happening even though what

66:32 saw was this flow, this detrimental . Now if you've ever been to

66:35 sporting bit where they've done the it literally, I was at a

66:39 bowl one year uh Ohio state taxation my wife is an Aggie is the

66:44 that to line went undefeated 1998. forget it. We went to the

66:49 Bowl in New Orleans instead of going the Liberty Bowl where Tulane went undefeated

66:55 saying the sugar bowl to watch texas and M lose pathetically to Ohio State's

67:05 . They had the wave going on bottom deck, on the top deck

67:11 in the middle deck and then on top of it they have nothing else

67:15 do because checks anyone playing football, ? It was awesome. It was

67:23 , you know, it just kept and going and going. Right,

67:28 an action potential once it started, an all or none response.

67:34 You either get an action potential or don't. This is where I upset

67:38 people in the classroom. It's like people are pausing now going what?

67:43 like virginity. You either are or aren't. There's no gray area.

67:52 . Thank you. You guys make day. Really? This is the

67:56 of the day, I'm tired and guys are laughing at my dumb

67:59 I love it. All right. great potential on the other hand,

68:03 very different. A greater potential has strengths or varying magnitudes depending upon the

68:10 of stimulus that you're looking at Again, you can stick a probe

68:13 really what you're doing is you're measuring a single point. So if you

68:17 in a very, very small you're going to get a very small

68:19 . If you stimulate a little bit , you get a stronger response.

68:22 you get even stronger you get a one. And the other thing is

68:25 you also duration is dependent upon stimulus as well. So the longer you

68:31 , the longer the greater potential is to be. So, what we

68:34 here is something that's not in all non response. What we have here

68:38 something that has varying magnitudes and durations upon the magnitude the duration of the

68:43 . All right. And that's where these little color lines represent is

68:46 look here at the brown line. they're basically saying here's a weak

68:51 So you get a weak response. a stronger stimulation, you get a

68:55 response. They're not showing duration, you could do the same thing if

68:58 went out this direction. All So the magnitude is equal to the

69:02 duration is equal to duration is really we're going out here? All

69:05 So, the longer duration longer the potential. All right. Now,

69:11 potentials are kind of like because what doing is we're opening up a

69:15 we're allowing ions to flow through. kind of like throwing a rock into

69:19 pond. So, imagine a still , right? It's peaceful, it's

69:24 . And then, because you're a of peace, you come along with

69:28 big old rock and you throw it there, you get that and you

69:32 what a big splash. Right? then what happens is you get a

69:37 that's pretty strong at the source of splash, and as it moves

69:40 it gets weaker and weaker and weaker weaker and weaker. Right? And

69:44 it's an infinitely sized pond, it eventually die out. But I've never

69:47 across upon that small, usually hit that big basically hit the wall and

69:51 comes right, ricocheted right back. we're just interested in going away.

69:55 , so, that's kind of what's here here, you can see I'm

69:59 up a channel sodium comes in and , if I measured it, I

70:03 see the massive change that's occurring But as I'm going further and further

70:08 , the difference and change is smaller smaller and smaller. And the reason

70:12 that is those sodium are going in . Remember we're opening up the gate

70:15 that Unmatched ion. Right? That island cross is the gate. And

70:20 waiting for him or her? positive charge is waiting for negative charge

70:27 here. So that positive charge comes and says, hey, negative

70:30 I saw you. I'm going to out with you now. And so

70:35 means the next positive ion Has to a little bit further, a little

70:39 further and a little bit further. you can imagine if you start off

70:42 100 positive charges as you move further , it's like 1980 than 70 and

70:46 and so on. And that's why slowly dying out. Okay, Also

70:52 have ions that are leaking right back again, but we're not going to

70:55 in the mechanics of that one right . Okay, So it's a very

71:00 signal. It dies out quickly. just travels a short distance. And

71:05 it's not a useful tool for signaling my spinal cord down in my big

71:10 . It's very useful for signaling to dendrite, say to the axon hillock

71:15 in fact, that's what we use for. So, an action potential

71:19 going to be dealing with two major to major ions that are going to

71:23 involved. sodium and potassium. All , we looked at membrane permeability

71:27 What do we say? The membrane for sodium is roughly one for every

71:32 potassium. Right? So, if look at the the channels here,

71:39 we're gonna be looking as we're gonna looking at voltage gated channels. All

71:43 . So voltage gated means the thing stimulates the opening and closing of the

71:46 is a change in the membrane There are two of these channels.

71:51 voltage gated sodium channel has three has gates. So it has three

71:55 I am your channel. Stare at . Look at my awesome aw.

72:01 I have one gate. I have greats. First gate is the activation

72:06 . This is the activation gate. I start off, I'm in the

72:10 but capable of opening position over Here's my inactivation gate. Right?

72:14 in the open position so I get . Right? Change the membrane potential

72:20 the opening of the activation gate. , ions can flow through me.

72:24 the moment I opened this one up the moment this act inactivation begins to

72:29 . It's a little bit slower, it closes over time. And now

72:32 in the closed state. So we three states right closed, capable of

72:37 . Open closed must be reset to reset. I never go back through

72:43 middle stage. I have to go one closed, capable of opening open

72:50 , incapable of opening must reset. , I'm reset. You see

72:54 So it's abc back to a It's A. B. C.

72:58 A. You know, you don't to do that. All right

73:03 the reason this is important is because is what's going to allow the exponential

73:06 place. This one's boring. has states one gate gate is in close

73:14 . Gates in the open state. my two states closed. Open,

73:18 . Open, closed. See That's filter gated potassium champ.

73:24 what I'm gonna do. Got seven to explain the exponential in seven

73:29 All right, just follow the bouncing . Alright, at rest. Both

73:34 those voltage gates are closed, They exist. They're they're they're

73:38 They're not counted as part of the . What we have is we have

73:43 leak channels. There's 50 potassium leak . One sodium leak channel per

73:48 So sodium potassium are moving back cross and forth across membrane resting membrane potential

73:53 70 million volts. That's rest. , so, there is on

73:58 We still have the pumps going You go back to where I put

74:02 right, membrane is being dominated by movement. Triggering event occurs. That's

74:12 Wayne doing this. And everyone following , Right. That's the stimulus stimulus

74:17 along causes a change the membrane Basically what's happening is is you can

74:23 a chemical from the other the neuron door releasing a chemical opening up a

74:30 channel, right opens up that sodium sodium comes in. What's going to

74:35 to the cell. So, he in. Does the inside get more

74:39 , more negative positive. It D . All right, That deep polarization

74:45 a greater potential. It ripples away the axon hillock. If it gets

74:51 enough or if it's strong enough and enough, it can create a major

74:56 . Major voltage change, which causes channels to open up. Right?

75:01 what happens is as I'm opening up or volts or sorry, ligand gated

75:06 channel, sodium comes in causes the of voltage gated sodium channels, which

75:14 more voltage gated sodium channels, which more voltage gated sodium channel. What

75:19 we have? What type of system that positive feedback loop? Basically,

75:23 I take the snowball and roll it the hill, it's gonna get bigger

75:26 bigger and bigger. So if I get a deep polarization strong enough to

75:30 the axon hillock, I can open the voltage gated sodium channels which opened

75:34 voltage gated sodium channels which opened up gated sodium channels. So, what

75:38 see, look at the yellow make sure, nope sorry, the

75:43 line or purple line is you see rise as those channels open and that

75:49 rising and keeps rising steeper and steeper steeper because it's an accumulation of deep

75:56 . All right. Now, once open up all the voltage gated sodium

76:00 , I can't open up any And all I'm doing is I'm just

76:04 straight up threshold is that point where opened up all the voltage gated sodium

76:11 ? Right? So I have no but to start what I start uh

76:17 doing what I've just started. This the all response. If I can

76:21 to the threshold. In other if I can open up all these

76:23 , then I'm gonna keep rising. I can't make it to threshold.

76:27 other words, if I don't open all those channels, I'm not getting

76:30 action potential. That's the alderman responses basically a greater potential. It's a

76:39 of graded potentials, which is kind cool. So, this is one

76:43 those things in a lecture where it's the sense like there's a chicken and

76:46 egg. We just happen to be about the chicken first, I think

76:50 be the egg. I don't know . All right. So, that's

76:54 this rapid rises. That threshold is up all those voltage gated channels.

77:00 you've done that, you've dominated or switching the domination. Remember we started

77:05 as 75 or 50 to 1 and I'm just making up numbers were now

77:10 1 sodium versus potassium. So, inside becomes positive. All right.

77:16 is trying to approach plus 60. , if you look at this

77:19 does this hit plus 60? Something must have happened. In

77:23 the key thing is when you see graph like this look forward, changes

77:26 . If you see change occurring on graph, that means something happened.

77:30 , what happens? Well, two happen. Remember to gates. So

77:35 said it's important Gate # one opened # two at the top of that

77:41 closed. All right. So sodium Russian anymore. And so would normally

77:47 at that arrow up there at the . Is that it was just kind

77:50 go la la la, la la la and take a sweet time getting

77:53 . But it doesn't take a sweet getting down. It goes down

77:57 very quickly. It re polarizes why of the second voltage gated channel,

78:02 voltage gated potassium channel. All I'm gonna have to end the lecture

78:07 this I think. Which sucks. right, voltage gated potassium channel is

78:12 your slow friend. You know who talking about? The one that you

78:16 a joke to and they stare at for a second and then they get

78:20 joke a couple minutes later, you are rushing to get out of

78:23 I mean, I'm telling you this important stuff. I said this is

78:26 be what I'm going to end I didn't say I was done.

78:29 , voltage gated potassium channels are stimulated the exact same time as the voltage

78:35 sodium channels. They just open a bit later when the other ones are

78:41 . And so by doing that you reverse the flow of ions.

78:45 the flow of charge which causes you go back down and re polarized.

78:49 that's what's going on between the two . And then they close roughly where

78:54 arrow is down over here. But close slow too. So you happen

79:00 overshoot the resting membrane potential. You hyper polarization, right? You're down

79:08 and then they shut and then because the leak channels, things are moving

79:12 and forth and that's going to allow to return back to normal plus the

79:17 . So I think that's where I'll even though Yeah, that's actually a

79:21 good place for yourself because the next deals with refractory periods and that's another

79:25 . So does that all make sense the ready to sprint out of

79:30 Of course it does. Because you're out of here. Yeah. Any

79:37 yet. Okay. Channel influencing how chilling one is um I'm just I'm

79:53 it, is it that is it the channels that are influencing influencing equilibrium

79:58 ? It's all of the above can equilibrium potential is dependent upon um which

80:04 is the guys who want to move permeability as well as the concentration.

80:09 , if I have this regular number channels and all of a sudden I

80:15 it, then all of a sudden changed my equilibrium potential right now.

80:19 a temporary equilibrium potential change, which don't account for. We don't

80:23 We don't do anything. But in what you're saying is equilibrium will be

80:26 when X occurs. We never get X. All right. And so

80:32 we're saying, in essence, is by opening up all these channels we've

80:36 changed the natural resting point, the opening. Mhm. Right.

80:48 Right. So, but it's it's going there, it's not ever going

80:51 get there, because on the way slam the door shut. Right?

80:59 , no. Now, if it , it would basically you'd see it

81:03 that kind of signaled, Right? , what would happen is lack of

81:08 bit again, this is hypothetical, isn't what's really going on, So

81:12 go up and as it's approaching, would reach that, you know,

81:17 that signal. Right? Right. instead what we're doing is we're chopping

81:20 off there and then we're opening up other channel so that it starts coming
