00:06 Alright. You guys. So when guys read last night or whenever you

00:10 reading you you looked at this and , what the hell? Right.

00:14 can't even go where where did the go? We're now talking about some

00:19 physiology stuff. And the thing is that everything we're gonna do from here

00:24 out deals with electrical cells. All . So we're gonna be looking at

00:28 after the test, Look at muscles then we're gonna be dealing with the

00:32 system for the rest of the That's just the way MP one

00:36 And so really what we're doing now we're moving away from these macro structures

00:41 we need to understand how these cells . And so everything you're reading has

00:46 do with how neurons are working and ultimately how these muscle cells are going

00:51 be working. So, we're gonna to use our imagination for a lot

00:54 this stuff. Alright. That's just nature. And so when when approaching

00:59 stuff, I'm gonna try to give analogies that are gonna sound stupid part

01:04 that to help you understand it. , give you something stupid to

01:07 Right? And so our starting point kind of a review of things that

01:12 already learned. All right. So talked about cells, we talked about

01:15 plasma membrane and we said, plasma membranes are there to create a

01:21 that's unique for the inside of the relative to the outside of the cell

01:25 these membranes they are permissible or semi . They allow certain ions to come

01:31 and they allow certain ions to And the way that they do that

01:35 based on the number of receptors or that are located there. And whether

01:39 channels are open or closed. And so that's what this slide is

01:44 trying to remind you said look, just trying to remind you, we

01:48 these ions, the big ions that concerned with. These are there's like

01:51 master list and relates these top two are the most important. And it

01:55 look and again, you don't need memorize these numbers but over time you'll

01:59 seeing them over and over again. you kind of know like look,

02:02 lots of sodium on the outside of , very little sodium on the inside

02:04 cells there's lots of potassium on the cells, very little potassium on the

02:09 of the cells. And so whenever have any sort of imbalance those ions

02:14 to create balance, right? So I have lots of potassium on the

02:19 of sell it wants to flow out the cell and it wants to go

02:23 there to create equilibrium and the same for the sodium and if you look

02:27 calcium or chlorine or magnesium or any of these ions are going to

02:32 doing the same thing. All So that's what all this is basically

02:37 to tell you is look there's a when you deal with ions there's gonna

02:40 some sort of concentration gradient, that's big word, concentration gradient just means

02:45 a difference in the amount and when more more is gonna always want to

02:50 to where there's less. Now, other rule to that is that magnitude

02:54 . So if I have a little and less, then the flow from

03:00 little bit to the less is gonna a little more should be a little

03:05 a little more. The flow is be a little slow. Alright.

03:08 like getting on a skateboard, if on a on a slope that's really

03:12 skateboard, you scoot very, very . But if you get on a

03:15 that's like this. So, you think about in terms of concentration when

03:18 have lots of something and a little of something, I've got a massive

03:23 . So the speed at which I'm to travel between those two points is

03:26 , very quick. Alright, so matters. The second point we want

03:33 deal with here has to do with are we passing through? All

03:37 And so we talked about channels earlier we said, look, there's different

03:41 of channels. What they do is exist in one of two states.

03:45 gonna close state or an open If there if that gate, that

03:50 opens and closes, we call it gated channel. And so there's some

03:54 of modality. Something that causes that to open. And we also said

03:58 channels will always be open, their are never closed. Kind of like

04:03 door is never closed. And so is a leak channel. Alright,

04:08 they're constantly open Now a leak channel in case because you're gonna see this

04:12 just second is a type of voltage channel and that voltage is says the

04:19 around that channel are such to cause gate to open. And in this

04:23 of the leak channel, I'm not test you, I'm not gonna ask

04:26 what type of channel is, I'm letting you know. So a leak

04:29 , voltage gated channel where the the amount of voltage that causes the

04:33 shape is already present. So it in the open state. Kind of

04:37 this door wants to close but that bar up there at the top,

04:41 little swing bar that allows it to , its kind of in a stuck

04:45 , it's there, it's just set that way. So it doesn't ever

04:48 . All right now, the ability ions to pass through a channel is

04:55 to be a passive event and the is based on the physics, we

05:00 kind of described it said if you lots and you got little basically ions

05:05 gonna move down their concentration gradients. there's a rule or a physical law

05:11 that says, hey, we want reach equilibrium. So you don't need

05:15 pump things, things are just gonna go, The second thing is that

05:19 you're dealing with channels they're gonna be selective. Alright, that gate says

05:25 one type of bond can pass through . Some gates are a little less

05:30 . I mean you'll see things like example cat ion channels in the

05:34 you may come across those cat ion . Anything that allows a positive ion

05:38 pass through, typically potassium or Alright, but they basically have a

05:44 degree of selectivity and so once they're things will just pass through. So

05:52 I wanna go, I wanna get some specificity here. So to understand

05:56 cells, you need to understand that types of gates that are present and

06:01 number of gates that are present are are are important. So where you're

06:06 , you're gonna be asking kind of question, the two most important types

06:10 gates that we are going to be with are gonna be our, the

06:15 called ligand gated channel and the voltage channel. Now, as I

06:19 the voltage gated channel already basically it says look what is the charge around

06:24 channel. So you can see in little cartoon, what is trying to

06:26 is look this is what the charges now but when you change the difference

06:30 charge that also affects the shape of ion channel. So that ion channel

06:35 up and now you can allow for passage of materials. So when you

06:39 or see voltage gated channel think, , there is a charge. And

06:45 that charge changes it opens. All . The ligand gated channel is

06:51 much easier. Just says, there's a binding site for some sort

06:54 chemical, some sort of molecule. that molecule comes along, it binds

06:58 that channel and like a key into lock, it causes the channel to

07:03 up. All right. Now I these like little asides here because the

07:11 is is that we're giving you the version and I say kindergarten version as

07:16 for just for sodium as an there are hundreds of different voltage gated

07:25 . All right. And some of close when the membrane changes, some

07:30 them open. So, we're not about all that stuff. All

07:34 So, what I don't want you do is I don't want you to

07:36 fixed in your mind that there's one of channel. Alright, What I

07:40 you to understand is there is a , right? And so when someone

07:45 you something new and I guarantee in year or two years or four years

07:50 eight years, maybe 20 years into career, you're gonna learn something

07:53 And you're gonna go, whoa wait, wait, wait. That's

07:56 how I was taught it. All . So, I want you to

07:58 open to the idea that this is the limit. Okay. So,

08:04 if you understand the concept, I a key that opens up the channel

08:09 I have a change in membrane potential you're going what's membrane potential then that

08:15 what opens and closes these two types channels which are very, very common

08:19 the types of cells that we're looking Now. These statements I'm about to

08:28 are very important to just kind of and hold onto Alright. Numbers aren't

08:36 matter here. I don't care about numbers for you right now, if

08:39 if you're a biology major and you're through, you're gonna memorize those numbers

08:43 you'll see them all the time. what I want you to understand is

08:48 those ions are in the direction that flow. I guarantee. I'm gonna

08:52 you a question on the exam on . All right. So, if

08:55 don't know whenever you see a what that bracket represents is concentration and

09:00 this is saying, He says, , if you look at potassium

09:03 the concentration of potassium inside the cell greater than the concentration of potassium outside

09:08 cell. And if you already understand gradients which you kind of already do

09:12 we just said look more leads travels to where there's less than what we're

09:17 here. Is that potassium is more the inside the cell then that's on

09:19 outside of the cell. Ergo potassium out of the cell, Alright,

09:26 from the inside of the out. right. And this is true for

09:31 of the cells. All right. notice I didn't say 100% why?

09:36 there's always an exception. All Number two, sodium is the second

09:41 these two. These first two potassium are the two most important ones to

09:45 . Alright, when we're dealing with , we have more sodium on the

09:49 of cells than we have on the of cells. Therefore, sodium does

09:53 It moves into the cells. again, 99.9% of the time chlorine

10:00 weird. All right. Now, says that their chlorine is greater on

10:04 outside than than on the inside. , all things considered if you're just

10:09 at chlorine, chlorine would move from outside to the end. Right.

10:13 what's interesting is that it really And we're gonna see why in just

10:16 moment there's kind of an equilibrium balance already takes place. But if you're

10:23 looking at chlorine, chlorine wants to into a cell, okay. And

10:27 lastly calcium, calcium, there's more outside of cells than they are on

10:33 inside. So, therefore when calcium , calcium is going to move into

10:38 cell. Alright, these two You just flat out No, that should

10:45 one of those things where it's like taking my Oh, I'm taking my

10:51 know, whatever, m cat whatever I'm taking, this is something

10:55 take with me. Yes, All right, So we have lots

11:00 potassium on the inside of the south in fact, all right, so

11:04 instead of me just saying there's lots look at the number again, don't

11:08 the number. So here's inside, about 100 and 40 millimeter versus

11:12 Another moller. So the direction that's wants to go is from the inside

11:16 the cell to the outside the It wants to go down its concentration

11:21 . Alright. Yeah, pardon? , So chlorine is just very

11:30 That's why we used it in Um It's actually the chemistry of pools

11:35 is very interesting to have a pool I had to learn the chemistry.

11:38 like, man, there's so much this, not just just dump chlorine

11:41 there's phs and also yeah, So, okay, we can have

11:50 conversation later. Alright. Anyway, do we all understand concentrations were comfortable

11:58 that and that should be the easy . I think most of the

12:01 it kind of falls into these easy eventually, but if you've never experienced

12:05 stuff, it's gonna start sounding where something you already know opposites attract.

12:09 heard that. Right, So, I have a positive charge and negative

12:13 , they're attracted to each other, ? That's pretty simple and that's gonna

12:17 true for ions, Positive ions are be attracted to negative ions. All

12:22 . Now, if I take a bunch of positive ions over here and

12:26 very few positive ions over here, I have what is called an electrical

12:31 . Alright, now, if I a bunch of positive ions over

12:35 a bunch of negative ions over that's also an electrical gradient,

12:39 So you can just think about We don't we're not gonna bother thinking

12:42 negative ions. We're just gonna think terms of the presence of positive ions

12:47 mean they don't exist but a negative just the opposite of a positive.

12:51 , if I say I have lots positive over here, that means I

12:53 have lots of positives over there. , you see the difference.

12:57 So positive charges want to move down concentration grade there, electrical grades,

13:04 want to move and create equilibrium. , there's neutrality. Now, in

13:08 of charge, does that make Right? Yes or no. Makes

13:14 . No, it does not make . All right. So, if

13:17 know that positive negative charges are attracted each other, positive charges are also

13:22 by positive charges. Right. So do the positive charges want to go

13:26 there are no positive charges? if I have lots of positive charges

13:30 here and I have none over they're going to move until they can

13:36 as separated as they possibly can be we reach equilibrium. So, the

13:39 principles. Now, we're just looking charge. Now notice we're not asking

13:44 question, what is the ion? . So, if I have a

13:47 of sodium and a bunch of potassium here, those are all positively charged

13:52 . And what they're gonna try to is they're gonna try to separate and

13:55 equilibrium so that the positive charges are in both areas. That gonna make

14:02 ? It's kind of So, I it's early. I'm I'm struggling

14:05 All right. I got no sleep night and I have no idea

14:11 All right. So, ions are move towards areas of an opposite

14:17 The lack of a charge is very . Basically what you're doing is you're

14:20 yourself from positive charges. So, we have to ask the question

14:25 is that membrane permeable to that particular if it is? And we're gonna

14:30 those ions moving down those gradients. . And these are electrical gradients.

14:36 , So, it's the difference in number of opposite charges. See what

14:40 I have here. Oh, so say I have a membrane. I've

14:47 a membrane right here. I've got whole bunch of charges over here.

14:50 , you can imagine I've got a bunch of positive charges over here as

14:53 ions move. The difference in charge either side is also changing.

14:58 So, I'm just gonna make up have 10 ions over here. They're

15:01 positive charges have zero ions over So, it means I have a

15:06 10 charge over here. If one . What's my charge over here

15:10 Plus nine. What's it over Plus one. Right. And so

15:15 can see I now have a difference much smaller than it was previously.

15:19 , my gradient as ions move slowly down until you get to equilibrium.

15:25 of like the concentration. Every time have one over here move over

15:29 the concentration ticks down like. Alright, so, we have two

15:35 types of gradients that we're putting up . Are trying to deal with.

15:38 have an electrical gradient the charge and have a chemical gradient. Right?

15:44 at whichever ions are involved. And you look at the cell, this

15:48 kind of what it looks like. is not the entire sale notice.

15:51 only putting up here. Just a of different ions. Alright,

15:55 I want you to focus on the here. Alright, so, here

15:58 have these A's A's represent an ion our cellular proteins. All right there

16:05 ionic cellular proteins. An ionic. you're not sure what that means,

16:09 means negatively charged. Alright. And are positive charges, attracted negative

16:16 Yes, opposites attract. All And so, you can see over

16:20 we have a lot of potassium a of potassium inside the cells.

16:25 they're balanced a little bit by those charges of the cellular proteins similarly on

16:31 outside. We have lots of sodium we have more chlorine out there as

16:36 . You see your you can even we have the occasional potassium, so

16:39 can see the concentration gradient, we the occasional sodium so we can see

16:43 concentration gradient. But what we're seeing on the outside, there's a lot

16:47 sodium and it's balanced by the So positive negative charges are attracted to

16:51 other. But the thing is is there's not enough negative charge for every

16:58 charge on the outside and there's not negative charge. Or sorry, there's

17:01 enough positive charge for every negative charge the inside. Now help you understand

17:07 . I'm gonna use a dumb Ready for dumb examples, dumb examples

17:12 awesome. Alright now I know uh two places at least I know of

17:18 Houston that has two high schools next each other. A leaf has two

17:22 schools right side by side and then over in River oaks you have two

17:27 schools, there's Lamar and um ST sitting side by side and a

17:32 I can't remember which is Hastings and sick. Okay and I'm sure there's

17:36 in Houston because that's why we build in Houston. We've got lots of

17:40 . Let's just plop two schools down let them duke it out side by

17:44 . Alright, so can you picture two schools next to each other to

17:48 schools? All right. Now, want you to picture for a moment

17:51 these high schools there are couples that . Would you agree with that?

17:55 did people find find coupling? Ok. Now, for the purposes

18:00 this, I need you to think terms of opposites. Alright, So

18:05 bear with me on that. All . So, you can imagine in

18:08 high school, there are a whole of couples that have been formed in

18:11 high schools and they're separated basically by fence. Right? So, I

18:16 you to also imagine at lunchtime that goes and eats outside on campus.

18:22 right. So, you can imagine time you got your couples walking

18:27 But there's also some people that never up with an opposite. Right?

18:33 And they're sad about that, Because everybody wants an opposite. Not

18:40 , but just for the sake of this this example. Right? And

18:44 you can imagine um I'm gonna use . Okay, Okay. It's okay

18:50 L six gonna be on the other . So, over in Hastings,

18:53 got a whole bunch of couples and have a whole bunch of young men

18:58 are sad because they don't have a . Okay. And they're going to

19:02 and they're sitting there just kind of and moping around. Okay over at

19:06 sick we have all a bunch of , but we have a whole bunch

19:09 young women that are sad because they hooked up, they don't have a

19:13 . So they go out to lunch they're all sad and you got that

19:16 sitting in between them and when they up, because eventually you'll have to

19:20 up to see where you're going, look up and then across the

19:26 there's something I can couple up And so what do you do?

19:31 start moving towards the fence and you up to the fence and you sit

19:36 at the fence like this and they with the women, the young women

19:39 like, there's guys on the other and the guys are on the other

19:43 going women and they're on the other going, there's women and they're stuck

19:50 they can't get together, why can't get together? There's a fence in

19:54 way and that's what applies the membrane . So when you're talking about membrane

20:00 , Alright, you're wondering where was going with all this? What we're

20:03 about here are membranes and membrane Is there a potential for all those

20:09 individuals to get together? Yes. potential energy. If you've taken any

20:15 of physics, like if you took physical science in high school, If

20:19 taken physics, you know that when taking two things that are attracted to

20:23 other and pushing them apart. It's take effort. It takes energy

20:29 And that's what's going on is the membrane itself sits in between these two

20:34 that are trying to get together and they're trying to get together.

20:38 there's energy there that isn't happening But all we gotta do is allow

20:43 to get together and then that energy be used. You'll get kinetic energy

20:46 you can use that energy to do . All right, So, that's

20:51 of what's going on. Every cell your body is like this,

20:56 Every cell in your body has a bunch of potassium bound up to these

20:59 ox cellular proteins. But they there's negative charge inside the cells.

21:04 they are migrating to the membrane and of saying, look, I see

21:08 charge out there. How do I to that now, the an ox

21:11 your proteins can't leave. They're stuck too big. Right? And then

21:15 the outside of the cell you have and chlorine hooking up But you have

21:19 much sodium that it's like, I to find a negative, oh

21:22 there's a negative charge on the other of membrane. So, it crowds

21:25 that membrane says, how do I inside to that negative charge? And

21:30 that difference in charge between those positive sodium and those negative antibiotics cellular

21:37 Is that membrane potential. Now, I point out here is that the

21:42 themselves have no charge, right, membranes just in the way the charges

21:48 the ions on either side, and what you can see lined up in

21:51 picture right here. You can see sodium lined up here. You can

21:58 that charge lined up and all we do is figure out a way to

22:01 them together. So how do we ions together that are stuck on the

22:06 that memory those channels the proteins. right. We have to all we

22:11 do is open up some gates and can let that happen. All

22:15 Now, how do we measure all stuff? Because you're gonna see these

22:18 And when I sat in your it bothered me that the professor would

22:21 up here and talk would just sit and go and the membrane is binding

22:24 million volts. And then you start on and you'd be like, wait

22:27 second. Why are you throwing numbers me? And where do they come

22:30 now? Maybe you don't think like ? But you know, knowing half

22:33 something drives me bonkers, which is why I'm sitting up here at the

22:36 of the classroom. Right? I to find out all the answers.

22:40 don't know them all. But I to find them all out. All

22:43 . So, what we use we a volt meter. And the way

22:46 can think about this is we have probe inside the cell and we have

22:50 ground on the outside. So, we're doing is we're comparing the inside

22:55 to the outside and then what you is you look and see what does

22:58 charge difference look like? And it that the charge, if it's negative

23:02 that the inside of the cell has positive charge. I know that sounds

23:07 backwards to say it that way, that's kind of what we do is

23:09 look at the presence of positive So we say there is less positive

23:14 on the inside than on the So inside versus outside. And then

23:19 it's positive then we say there's more charge on the inside relative to the

23:25 . Okay, So notice we haven't anything about negative charges. We don't

23:29 about negative charge is kind of like , I thought that would. They're

23:34 least a couple of. You got . Alright, negative charges were just

23:38 of ignore. All right. the question is when we're using a

23:41 meter, we're asking the question, is it like? And you're looking

23:45 the probe? And so in this our probes are going into the cell

23:48 we're comparing it to the outside inside outside. So, typically what we're

23:53 is we're measuring in Miller volt this telling us the ability of the cell

23:56 do work. It's basically saying how potential energy is there? All

24:02 You're gonna see on the next two equations. Alright. The purpose of

24:06 you these equations is one because I there's a nerd in here. Who

24:09 to go do the math? At one. All right. The rest

24:12 us just like to avoid the All right. But I want you

24:16 show you that you don't have to math in this class. We're not

24:20 don't need to know the I you don't need to be able to

24:23 . I'm not gonna ask you to that. But what this can do

24:26 shows you very quickly. When you at an equation like this, you

24:29 do You can see a ratio there it's like, okay, what I'm

24:32 is comparing outside versus inside. That's it does. And that's why I'm

24:36 to show you the equation. so, the nurse equation, which

24:42 what this is right here, allows to look at a single ion and

24:47 the question where at what voltage is reached for this particular ion.

24:55 What? When when when when we balance between the concentration gradient and balance

25:02 the electrical gradient. Alright, the way you can think about

25:06 if I have a lot of ion here, That ion is gonna move

25:10 ? Remember what I said. if I let's just use sodium for

25:13 , if I have my membrane, have lots of 10 sodium over here

25:17 I have zero sodium over there every a sodium moves, that's moving down

25:22 concentration gradient until equilibrium is met, ? So, I'd be five.

25:27 ? But every time one of those ions moves, it's taking with it

25:32 charge, Right? And so there's to be at a point where the

25:38 of an ion is attracted back out . Right. In other words,

25:45 time an ion moves your content, basically moving a charge. And

25:50 remember opposites attract or opposites are trying or charges are trying to find

25:56 And so what you're doing is you're to figure out where is that balance

25:59 be when those two gradients which move opposite directions of each other, where

26:06 that balance gonna be where that ion there and goes, okay, I'm

26:09 go this way, No, I'm gonna go this way.

26:11 I'm gonna go this way. In words, it finds that point of

26:14 right? Where the seesaw no longer back and forth. That's what the

26:19 potential is. All right? for every eye on we have a

26:24 gradient and we have an electrical gradient move in opposite directions of each

26:28 The nursed equation allows us to find point where equilibrium is met for that

26:35 eye on All right? So all gotta do is just ask question,

26:38 is the concentration on the outside versus inside? What's the valence and then

26:42 can do a little math and it'll you that thing out. You don't

26:45 to do that. Alright, but if you wanted to you can

26:48 plug in these numbers, right? can say here's the outside, here's

26:51 inside throw into that equation. And should get that number right there.

26:55 right. So how many ions are play when you look at a

27:03 You got four going on. That's that's a good answer. If you

27:09 to say lots, that's a good . Right? We typically focus in

27:14 two. All right. But the is that you have that we don't

27:18 consider Right man, we got We got phosphates. We got all

27:22 of stuff. And so there's an uglier equation. Right, this

27:27 Right. Did I miss it? , there's apparently click through three slides

27:34 . Alright, this is it right . It's called the Goldman Hodgkins Cats

27:38 . Again, don't memorize it. don't memorize this. Okay, but

27:44 I want to show you is that considers all the different ions. And

27:46 this case we're looking at just three . But you can imagine you'd have

27:49 include zinc. You have to include and calcium, phosphate. Everything.

27:55 that's there. But what's interesting about equation and why I'm pointing out to

27:59 because it points out the other factor becomes very, very important in understanding

28:04 movement of ions. So let's go to our little example. We have

28:10 that membrane, we have those couples want to move through. We have

28:15 way to get them together. What we have to do? We have

28:17 open up a channel really, In case it would be a gate right

28:21 the fence. Alright, So they're move now. How many people can

28:25 through one of those gates at a do you think you think many?

28:30 , we'll go with I'm gonna I'm make this easy. We're gonna say

28:33 . All right. But let's say have 100 couples that want to

28:37 how long is it gonna take for to happen a long time.

28:40 if I want to increase the what do I need to do?

28:45 have more gates have more gates and those gates open up. In other

28:50 , in in biology. Parliaments what say is we need to increase the

28:56 . Soap permeability is an important factor it comes to the movement of ions

29:02 and forth across the membrane. It the rate at which things go.

29:06 that permeability also affects that membrane Okay, so for example, let's

29:14 here, um I think that's probably on this on the other slide

29:20 But what I want to point out is that when we're looking at

29:23 the things that we're going to consider most. They're gonna be sodium

29:27 We're gonna look at the an ox your protein. They're the ones that

29:30 the biggest role. And then chlorine a smaller part in trying to figure

29:35 what that membrane potential is gonna All right. And again, calculating

29:40 out. But this is kind of side. The permeability is where I

29:43 trying to go with this. All . So, this little line right

29:48 represents the membrane potential. That's what stands for. All right. And

29:52 I did the equilibrium potential for potassium sodium, I calculate it out using

29:57 nursed equation. The first one there my equilibrium potential way over there.

30:01 61. Alright, if I do membrane potential for potassium, you can

30:07 it's over here about minus 90. . And then chlorine sits there about

30:12 66. But if we went and the membrane potential for a cell using

30:20 equation right there, Then what we is that VM comes out to about

30:27 now, -70. Looking more like equilibrium potential than the other. Does

30:37 look more like sodium look more like potassium? All right. And

30:44 what it's saying is is that when make this calculation and based on permeability

30:50 that the equilibrium potential looks more like . And the reason it looks more

30:54 potassium because of that that permeability for versus potassium sodium. Alright. Ready

31:01 another dub example to help you understand . Ready? Alright, y'all been

31:05 a football game. All right, halftime. We're losing. Of

31:12 I'm so tired of this year Yeah. Last year was a lot

31:18 this year. I'm really not Okay? And I'm a big football

31:23 , not even just you. H I went to two lanes, so

31:25 kinda gotta I was over friday. anyway, halftime, everyone gets

31:33 goes to the restroom, guys, long I'm talking to the guys,

31:37 the ladies guys. How long did take you to go in and out

31:39 the restroom? Few seconds. I that answer ladies, when are you

31:45 back to your seats? 4th Right. Maybe if you're lucky you

31:52 you go out there during halftime and like there's never a line for the

31:56 restroom. Why? All right, , I'm gonna give away some

32:01 Alright? And the guys restrooms, speaking, we have troughs.

32:08 And so what that means is, when guys need to go to the

32:11 , these trials, normally, you , allow four people stand side by

32:14 . But you know, during halftime kind of ignore those rules and we

32:17 and we stand like eight deep at trough. You know, we just

32:20 of walk in there, look Don't make eye contact anybody do your

32:24 and you get out, ladies, have stalls you can't put more than

32:30 person in the stall, Right? can't do your business, like guys

32:35 do their business. And so you to wait till a stall becomes

32:40 And how many stalls are in a restroom? Maybe 20. So at

32:44 given time it takes 20 people can served. So, where a men's

32:49 can serve several 1000 in a Right, A woman's restroom, you're

32:55 there until after the game. So in biology parliaments, what would

33:02 say with regard to permeability when it to restrooms? Do men's restrooms have

33:08 or less permeability than women's restrooms? ? Okay, so, we understand

33:15 concept is that we're allowing more men move through the system. When we're

33:20 about the membrane, we're looking at channels. Alright, so we have

33:24 channels. We have sodium channels. . And at rest we're looking at

33:30 channels in particular. And so the is, is if the membrane potential

33:36 VM is -70. It basically I look more like the the equilibrium

33:43 for potassium. So, that means means there must be more potassium leak

33:51 , then there are sodium leak If the VM sat between the

33:57 some point, we basically say there's equal number of channels. And if

34:02 was way over here by the equilibrium of sodium, then we'd say that

34:06 potential that VM is a result of sodium leak channels then potassium like channel

34:16 you see what we've done here is , the relative number of channels becomes

34:21 . And if you look at that that I've circled up their box circle

34:26 I made The box I made basically that permeability. Now I hate that

34:31 did it this way because use they decimals and you should never use decimals

34:36 you're doing. I mean doing comparisons this, what this is basically saying

34:40 for everyone potassium leak channel there is . Now, if you do your

34:47 , that means there's 25. So every one sodium leak channel, there

34:53 25 potassium leak channels. It kind sounds like a men's and women's

34:59 For everyone stall in the women's There are 25 means to which men

35:08 use their restroom. That makes In other words, there is a

35:14 ability for sodium to leave the cell it is for sodium to get in

35:18 cell. That means for every one of task or of sodium going into

35:23 cell, 25 molecules of potassium And so that drags that membrane potential

35:31 over in this direction. And that's we have this -70. All

35:37 Now, at any given time, of these things are in play,

35:44 ? We have chlorine channels. We sodium channels. We have potassium

35:49 They're all linked channels, potassium is out leaving behind negative charges. So

35:56 attracted to the negative charge. Two ? What attracted to the negative charges

36:03 . Right? And sodium sits up in the picture? I'm not gonna

36:10 you something that's already there. potassium is leaving, right? So

36:15 time potassium leaves it leaves behind a charges, it attracted that negative

36:20 Yeah, but it's only gonna start back as if the inside of the

36:26 becomes -90 is gonna say wait a . That negative charges there is kind

36:32 attractive. I'm gonna go hang out it. But right now, the

36:36 gradient is driving the sodium away, the inside more and more negative.

36:42 right. So, that's why it's outward. It's moving towards that

36:47 But it doesn't quite get there. reason doesn't quite get there is because

36:52 have sodium leak channels. Now, there are more leak channels for potassium

36:57 there is for sodium. But there leak channels. So, those negative

37:02 on the inside are like really attractive that sodium. So, what does

37:07 sodium do? I want to go direction? How you doing negative

37:13 Right? We're back to the example the high schools, right? How

37:17 doing Right? It's attracted to the charge, positive charge. Doeses't care

37:23 that negative charges. It's just a charge. And so, it's moving

37:28 , but you can only move one for every 25 that are moving

37:32 And so the inside of the cell more negative and it draws sodium towards

37:37 and sodium wants to keep moving in it reaches its equilibrium. And where

37:41 its equilibrium At plus 61. So never ever slows down. It just

37:48 have many opportunities to go into the . Chlorine is attracted to positive

37:55 but it's also attracted to negative. mean, to not only potassium,

37:59 also attracted sodium so, some of chlorine is gonna move in, its

38:03 potential is about -66. So, already at equilibrium for the most

38:09 so it barely moves. It's like right, I'm kind of cool.

38:12 gonna wait. sodium went, let I'm gonna go with sodium now,

38:15 is kind of cool again. wait, potassium left. Okay,

38:18 me go back over here and it kind of sits there keeping balance around

38:24 minus 70. It doesn't move a . All right, but potassium is

38:32 and sodium is moving and every time of these things moves, there's a

38:38 called the sodium potassium 80 pes pump the expense of 1 80 P.

38:42 says, wait a second, I you on the inside of the

38:45 potassium you to go back over you three sodium is you go back

38:49 there and it puts them back where started and then it's like, oh

38:53 , I'm I still want to go inside and so everything is in constant

38:58 and that membrane is sitting around minus as a result of all of those

39:04 . So, there's a passivity, natural movement first, potassium move out

39:10 there's enough channels for it to So as it's trying to leave the

39:13 moving down its concentration gradient, trying get the good thing. I have

39:23 . Can't trust these things. There we go. It's on

39:48 All right, So what I was is that we have sodium wanting to

40:02 in, trying to reach its equilibrium . It will never reach it.

40:06 have potassium leaving, trying to reach equilibrium potential. It will never reach

40:11 . We have the sodium potassium a pump, making sure that they never

40:15 it and putting things back into motion that you're always replenishing the things that

40:20 been lost, right? And this what establishes that value, that

40:27 So, when you look at a and we ask, what's that membrane

40:30 , it's these factors that are taking all of this movement, it's not

40:36 sitting there going, not doing There's a lot of movement going

40:40 And if we want to make a be electrically active, what we're gonna

40:44 to do is we're gonna want to that permeability. And when we change

40:49 permeability for either potassium or change the for sodium that's gonna cause more ions

40:56 move. And when ions move, is electrical activity and you can use

41:02 activity to do stuff. And so is the baseline our understanding of how

41:09 cells do their job. So how and how muscles are gonna work.

41:15 gonna pause here. I saw one . Did I answer it? Or

41:19 I make you forget it? Any questions I know this stuff is

41:25 . This is why I try to those stupid examples. You're not gonna

41:28 the bathroom example, are you? not gonna forget the stupid high school

41:33 , are you? Well, he I don't know. Yes.

41:42 So, membrane potential just kind of generically to the imbalance of those,

41:49 resting membrane potential. And I should look at my slides more carefully.

41:53 what they're actually saying. Resting membrane refers to a cell at rest.

42:00 , what does a cell at It's a cell that's not doing its

42:04 that it was designed to do? , your muscle when it's not

42:08 has a resting membrane potential. Your when it's not releasing neurotransmitter has a

42:13 membrane potential. It's it's starting All right. And so, what

42:19 gonna do is we're gonna use that point to then cause the cell to

42:22 stuff. We're gonna change that membrane . Anyone else questions? Yes.

42:30 . So, the question is, the difference between the membrane potential and

42:35 equilibrium. So, when we look the equilibrium potential. So, what

42:39 saying is what is the point where particular ion. So just that one

42:45 on. So this is an experimental , it doesn't exist in reality because

42:50 you look in a normal cell, have to consider all the ions that

42:54 there. But if you could make cell and uh just put sodium on

42:59 outside or the inside, you and then ask the question, how

43:02 it move? Where does where does find its balance? You can then

43:07 that out. So that's what that to, is the point at which

43:10 particular ion finds its balance using the numbers in in the real cell.

43:20 else? I I understand this stuff be confusing. Alright. But remember

43:27 a stepping stone to understand greater stuff we're gonna come back, you're gonna

43:31 using it. And so as you it, it should make more and

43:35 sense. So if you're sitting there , I don't want to ask the

43:37 because it looks stupid and and I want to look stupid in a group

43:40 300 people. First off, you're gonna look stupid, but I guarantee

43:44 40% of you don't understand what the I'm talking about, right? See

43:49 some of you are not here. . Yeah. Alright. Yes.

43:56 Yes. Zero math today. What their numbers? Because I think sometimes

44:06 help you understand what you're doing physiologists love numbers. We're not we

44:14 not doing the numbers. If you at HCC I'm just gonna say if

44:20 at HCC they would make you do nerds equation. I know faculty over

44:24 , they'd make you do the math they're mean. I don't know why

44:31 reasons. Some anatomists think it's important you to do the math. I

44:34 think it's important for you to do . I think what helps you to

44:38 differences? Right differences are easier to when you see a number like 1

44:43 verses 10 or five or whatever the numbers were right versus big versus

44:49 What does big mean? What does mean? Right. And that's why

44:53 throw those up there. Right There's value for the membrane potential.

44:59 will see over and over again. is a measurable thing. Remember what

45:02 said, If I get a volt , shove it in the neuron and

45:06 measure the difference on the inside versus outside. You're gonna see that membrane

45:10 of minus 70. You look at cardiac muscle, you'll see a different

45:14 . You look at a skeletal you'll see a different number.

45:18 But the principle is still the right? It's basically looking at the

45:24 of ions from the inside versus the , which is based upon all those

45:30 channels. And you gotta gotta gotta , it's a good question.

45:38 you can choose it could be It could be the women. If

45:41 if potassium is the men, then you have to think of the

45:45 acceptable protein as the women. So positive charge versus negative charge. That's

45:50 attraction. Right? Traction. Doesn't what I on you are. As

45:55 as it knows your charge, Positive charges are attracted to negative

46:00 Or the other way. You can the positive charges are attracted to areas

46:03 there are no positive charges either Yeah. So I'd ask you for

46:16 , the question is what type of would you see for an equilibrium

46:20 How do you get it? How you get an equilibrium potential,

46:25 That's gotta know permeability. You gotta concentrations. Right? So, I

46:30 ask you the question of which direction the is the concentration gradient? Which

46:34 is is equilibrium potential? Right? , we know that or equally.

46:39 , the electrical gradient. So, know, for example, concentration gradients

46:43 opposed to electrical gradients. They move opposite directions of each other.

46:48 That's why I said the first time that first slide. So that's kind

46:52 what we're trying to go, is to deal with concepts ideas.

47:03 No, but we're going to So the question has to do with

47:06 actual potentials which are thursday's lecture. I don't want to jump the gun

47:12 start explaining those just yet. All . But I do want to start

47:17 about neurons. Yeah, I'm willing answer a question until you guys stop

47:21 them. But we still have you a question. You know? Just

47:27 to get that shirt where it No one else. Back in the

47:32 , falling asleep. All right. to a little bit of anatomy.

47:40 . We we we dipped ourselves into physiology kind of felt icky. All

47:47 . I saw that. I saw look. Alright. Alright. So

47:50 move back out. Alright, So are the cells that that we're gonna

47:55 focused on primarily in the nervous Alright, So, they're the functional

48:00 lack of a better term. so these are an excitable cells.

48:04 have some specific structure to them and function. Their job is to produce

48:11 in their membrane potential that result as distance signals between the cell body and

48:19 terminal end of the cell. So, an action potential is an

48:24 of the type of a long distance . So, there's an electrical potential

48:27 that travels along the length of that to cause the release of a

48:35 A chemical message that then is used communicate to the next cell. All

48:39 now to understand why this is neurons can be very, very

48:44 So, for example, you have neuron as I said, we'll leave

48:47 spinal cord travel the length of your down to the tip of your pinky

48:51 that you can wiggle it right? you might have a neuron that's down

48:55 the tip of your pinky and then up the length of your arm to

48:58 spinal cord so that can transmit sensory . So these are long cells,

49:04 all of them, there's tiny neurons your brain, but that's an example

49:09 how long they can be. And if you're trying to get your hand

49:13 move, it would be kind of to be able to get very very

49:16 signals to the muscles that cause that . Would you agree with that?

49:23 . So if a baseball is flying your face, do you want your

49:26 to take its sweet time? Think Well, you know, move your

49:30 and your hands like, okay, just waiting for the signal.

49:33 You want a fast one. Electrical is a method of very very quick

49:38 . All right. So what it's do is it's gonna initiate and then

49:42 an electrical signal along its length. it's responsible for receiving some sort of

49:48 , determining how to respond to that , usually through that form of that

49:53 potential. All right. So, already mentioned is going to conduct

49:58 long distance signaling. And this is gonna be possible because of the presence

50:04 these types of channels that we've already about. The presence of these leak

50:08 . These ligand gated channels and these gated channels. So where they're distributed

50:13 very very important. And there's also pumps in there to keep everything back

50:16 balance. Alright. And so where located, their relative concentrations become important

50:23 . The way they communicate between cells not electrically though. So, remember

50:28 electrical signal is across its length Between 99% of the time. It's gonna

50:35 a chemical message. It's like you notes in class. Right? What

50:40 doing is when you're talking to you are giving them a message and

50:45 what these cells are doing. The . The chemical is the message between

50:50 . The electrical signal is you writing note down, trying to get the

50:53 from your brain down into that piece paper. And that's kind of what's

50:57 on here is I'm sending it from Soma, that body all the way

51:01 the length these cells you're born For the most part you do produce

51:06 neurons over the course of your but not very many. This word

51:10 here is a myth topic. you know what my topic means?

51:13 uses mitosis. Amy topic means I use mitosis. Alright, So once

51:19 create these cells, they don't continue divide and multiply for the most

51:24 you basically get what you get. right. They're also highly metabolic.

51:29 constantly producing these electrical signals and moving . So they need a steady supply

51:35 energy to do so. So that they're gonna be needing glucose and

51:40 And I'm being very generic here When say glucose because it's not actually

51:44 But I don't want to get into today. Alright. So when scientists

51:51 started looking at the at the they were specialists. And so they

51:56 everything special names. So they have the parts that you've already learned.

52:00 they have special names to them. is really frustrating. That means you

52:04 learn them. All right. So cytoplasm is called the carry on.

52:08 , I don't call it the I don't know. They just that's

52:12 how it is. They were They mean and cruel and I don't

52:16 All right. The ribosomes stained There was the specific staining mechanism.

52:24 the person who discovered it got its put on it. So the ribosomes

52:28 called missile bodies. All right. you look at this, this body

52:35 here, the cell body can be a soma. Right? And these

52:42 are referred to as dendrites. there's a distinction. Any extension off

52:48 cell body is a dendrite, but ones that receive maintain the name

52:54 The one extension that sins which is bigger and longer is called the

53:01 And so here you can see dendrite dendrite dendrite dendrite and then this right

53:06 is an axon. Now if you a bunch of these neurons and you

53:12 them together so that you have a bunch of cell bodies together in the

53:16 nervous system. We give them a name. We call them that that

53:19 cluster a nuclei. Alright. It's nucleus but plural would be nuclei if

53:26 see the same sort of clustering inside peripheral nervous system and I should back

53:32 . Your central nervous system is your and your spinal cord, peripheral nervous

53:35 is everything else. So in the nervous system those clusters of cell bodies

53:42 called ganglia. Alright, so there's specific terminology we use when these axons

53:56 and travel together as a cluster. we do is we're forming in the

54:00 nervous system, we call those But if we're out in the peripheral

54:05 system, we call those the axons together, we call those nerves.

54:11 this is gonna sound like a trick on exam. Does the central nervous

54:15 have nerves within it? And the is no. All right, because

54:21 terminology is specific to the peripheral nervous ? All right, that's the question

54:29 might see. Not necessarily on my , but you'll see it someplace.

54:34 . Central nervous system doesn't contain nerves contains tracks. So, dendrites are

54:40 receptive extensions from the cell body. ? They receive input. They respond

54:47 some sort of stimulus. Alright, it doesn't matter if you're on the

54:52 , if you're receiving, If you're poked by a needle, that information

54:55 picked up by a dendrite and that is being sent to the central nervous

55:01 via an axon axon are sending information right to receive information. Alright,

55:09 , in the central nervous system, is what this kinda looks like.

55:12 receiving information up here at the dendrites the axon sends that information down.

55:19 within the dendrites, we're gonna learn these two different types of membrane potential

55:24 . One is called the greater potential called an action potential. Graded potentials

55:28 going to be formed out here at dendrites and it's the uh if you

55:35 greater potentials and they get strong enough reach a threshold that's gonna cause the

55:40 of an action potential. Action potentials formed right here in this structure called

55:45 axon hillock. It's the base, foot of that axon. And so

55:51 you can get great potential strong enough cause that area to reach threshold,

55:55 get an action potential that then travels the length of that axon. All

56:02 , So, they use action These use graded potentials. Now,

56:07 axon can divide, it doesn't show in this picture, but you can

56:11 as you're going along, I can up here and go someplace else.

56:14 , I have two branches, those are referred to as collaterals, but

56:19 at the very end of one of collaterals, that's where you're gonna see

56:22 endings of the axon, This is the terminal, another name, you'll

56:29 might be Teledyne Andrea alright, so can see danger or dendrites comes from

56:36 word that means branch. So the dri a are gonna be found here

56:41 the terminal end. So, these right here, those are Teledyne

56:46 And then at the very very tip it kind of looks like a little

56:49 alien sucker finger, right? That , that little that little knob or

56:56 . That's the axon terminal. Or can be referred to as the synaptic

57:01 . And this is where the synapse going to be found. So,

57:08 axon is the conducting region. As said, this doesn't have all the

57:12 that you're going to find in the . You won't find missile bodies

57:15 you won't find the Golgi apparatus. , all the machinery to make proteins

57:21 to do all the hard and heavy of the cell are found in the

57:27 . In the para carrion of the . So, what you're gonna find

57:33 is basically gonna be cytoplasm and we it a special name because it's in

57:37 axon, it's called the axa All right. And then the plasma

57:44 of the axon would give it a name. We call it the axle

57:48 . To the plasma lemma again, neurologists neurobiologists think they're special. They

57:55 to name things especially. So everything being made inside the selma, you're

58:05 information from your dendrites. You're sending from the synaptic knobs in order for

58:11 to release neurotransmitter? You need to neurotransmitter. So you're making a neurotransmitter

58:16 the summer and it needs to be down to, that acts on

58:22 And then when you're done with making or maybe your recycling materials, you

58:26 to send information back to the summer it can be processed. So you

58:30 to have a mechanism to move things that very, very far and back

58:34 the cell body. And this is neuronal transport is. And there's two

58:39 and taro grade, that would be from the body. Retrograde. That's

58:43 the body when something is retro, does that mean? Old or from

58:51 past? Right, so it's in opposite direction, which you're going.

58:56 way does time go forward? so retro is backwards. Right,

59:02 that's just when you look at those , that's all it means. So

59:04 anterograde retrograde would be back. There's basic speeds. We have fast and

59:11 . So two gears I guess We move about 400 per day.

59:16 far is 400? 10 is a 100 centimeters would be a meter.

59:27 ? So 100 centimeters is 1000 So half a meter is how far

59:37 can travel in a day using So how big is that? How

59:42 is the meter? About three I don't know guys are terrible at

59:50 out lengths. Thank you. So about three ft. So half

59:59 How's that that work? Half a . Yeah. So, how do

60:12 do this? Well, we have in place. All right.

60:15 this is gonna be in both What we're gonna do is we're gonna

60:17 the transport proteins. Remember those connections dining to basically grab the vesicles,

60:22 will be full of neurotransmitter. What you gonna do? You're walking it

60:25 intermediate filaments down to the terminal in you start the vesicles. They're waiting

60:30 a signal to release the neurotransmitter in of slow axle. We're now talking

60:35 millimeters per day. So, this more like getting in an inner

60:41 you know, getting on a slow with your cooler of beer or your

60:46 claw, whatever. Alright, and sitting there and just let the current

60:50 you. So, it's just yep, I'll get there when I

60:53 there. That's what slow is this only interior. Great. So in

60:57 direction. Alright. So usually what gonna do is we're gonna use energy

61:03 the form of a TP to move things in the direction they need to

61:12 . All right, vocabulary words and becomes important because we're gonna use these

61:19 all the time and I need you them. All right. Flash back

61:24 3rd grade when we're doing number. . Remember number. Lines.

61:29 lines, people in middle number. . Okay. All right. So

61:33 remember the number line first time you negative positive numbers. If you're at

61:38 . Alright. You lack polarity or . You're zero. Right? Anytime

61:43 move in either direction along that number , you're you're creating polarity. Does

61:51 make sense? So if I'm at , I have no polarity. I'm

61:55 positive and another negative. Right? if I move even this far off

62:00 , I'm no longer zero. I now polar. Alright. So,

62:05 gonna use big numbers here. If I'm at zero here and I

62:09 , let's see. This would be for you. So, if I

62:12 over here 10 spaces now I'm negative . Right? So, what I've

62:17 is I've polarized. If I'm over starting at zero and I move 10

62:24 . This way I'm now positive I'm still polar, aren't I?

62:30 . Now I'm gonna come over here I have more space. So here

62:34 am at -10. Alright, which ? zero. Right over there?

62:40 minus infinity, isn't it? So if I move towards minus

62:45 have I become more or less More polar? That's called hyper

62:53 All right. If I move back -10, I've returned back to my

63:01 original polar position. I've re If I move towards zero, have

63:09 become more or less polar. Less . So I have deep polarized.

63:18 . So if I'm at zero I'm polar. If I'm off zero I

63:25 polarized right over here polarized. If become more polar hyper polarized if I

63:35 less polar D polarized if I go polarized and then I return that return

63:41 is re polarization. And that's what terms are. Now notice in our

63:47 graph up here, what we're using we're using a cell that has a

63:50 membrane potential of minus 70. And what it's trying to show you is

63:54 as I move away from my polarized . So at rest I'm already polarized

63:58 minus 70. So as I move from my polarized state towards zero I'm

64:04 polarizing. If I'm moving away from D polarized state away from zero,

64:10 hyper polarizing. So this right here that right there would be this line

64:16 from my deep polarized state back to original polarized date would be re

64:23 And same here. I mean my polarized state back to my original polarized

64:27 . That's re polarization. If I you this graph and flipped it upside

64:34 , it was plus 70. The rules apply as long as I'm moving

64:38 zero. I'm becoming less polarized. long as I'm moving further away from

64:43 , I'm becoming hyper polarized. The exception to this rule is this If

64:47 am deep polarizing and I passed zero I keep going. In other words

64:52 one movement I just keep the first that I used. Deep polarization.

64:56 don't go, oh, I'm now something because that just gets confusing.

65:01 you start. All right. We're see a little bit later. When

65:04 talk about actually, we started We de polarize and we cross over

65:09 and we go to plus 30. , that would still be deep

65:13 Alright. But that's we'll get there we get there. All right,

65:18 , the membrane potential changes. Any in that memory potential is what we're

65:23 use as electrical signaling in the We have two different types.

65:27 anything that changes the membrane permeability, that alters yuan concentration are is going

65:33 result in a membrane potential change. , if I dump sodium, you

65:37 do this. This this doesn't happen real. But if I dumped more

65:40 into your body, that could change potentials because now you've created an

65:46 Right? So, those values the I told you don't memorize the $150

65:51 versus 30 millimeter and stuff. Those are more or less constant in the

65:57 , but I'm not asking to memorize because it's okay, we don't need

66:01 know. All right. So, types of membrane potential change. We

66:05 great potentials graded potentials are short distance . That's what we're gonna finish up

66:12 today. And then we're gonna come and we're gonna deal with action potentials

66:15 thursday. Alright. So here we . We're looking at a cell,

66:20 can see there is the uh Selma a dendrite. Dendrite. Dendrite.

66:25 on. All right. And what a greater potential is a small

66:30 change. Alright. Of varying meaning it can be any size.

66:35 that size is gonna be the result the magnitude of the stimulus that you're

66:40 . So the bigger the magnitude of stimulus, the bigger the greater

66:45 the longer the stimulus, the longer potential. So there's a direct correlation

66:53 duration and magnitude when it comes to potentials. But these are very,

66:58 short, very small distance uh changes the membrane potential. So, what

67:04 is trying to show you in this picture here is that we're opening up

67:09 gated channel. Alright. In this case, it's a ligand gated

67:14 And when I open up that leg gave the channel, remember we have

67:16 those ions end up. They want go in, don't they?

67:20 I got their hands on this side the membrane, got the islands on

67:22 side of the membrane, they want get together, all we gotta do

67:24 open up the gate, this is . Opening up the gate. And

67:27 ions flow in and when that first flows in, it's gonna find its

67:32 and when I find my partner, removed that difference in charge. That

67:38 sense for every positive finds a I've removed a charge for every uncoupled

67:43 . The charge exists because that charge the lack of coupling. And so

67:50 can see at the point where the is, right, that's where we're

67:55 see the largest membrane difference. And as we move further and further

68:01 we're gonna see less and less charge change. All right, So,

68:06 this is showing you is the degree flow islands are rushing in tons of

68:10 on the front end and then their up. And only a couple of

68:13 are trickling out towards the edges so less flow. So a greater potential

68:18 be a deep polarization as ions floating sodium or it can as more potassium

68:28 out. But it's just a matter the flow. That's what you're looking

68:33 . What How much is moving, is the flux that's taking place?

68:38 here we have a high flux, that high flux is just steaks coming

68:43 . And then as you couple that ion is not gonna be traveling

68:47 further. Now, if you want picture this, You ever thrown rocks

68:55 ponds, swimming pools. People's don't think about the windows think about

69:01 pond's nice still pond. There's something picking up a rock and throwing a

69:07 into a still pond to disturb doesn't it? All right. So

69:11 an infinitely large pond and I take little tiny pebble and I toss it

69:16 the pond, right? To make little thing. You'll see a little

69:21 . The splash will be kind of , it won't it? But then

69:25 get a ripple and that ripple moves from the site where that rock went

69:31 , where that rock went, the is bigger, right? But as

69:35 travels away further and further and that ripple gets smaller and smaller until

69:39 dies away. Right? With an sized thing you're gonna see, it

69:43 dies off. Most ponds are too and it keeps going right that.

69:48 you envision that? Okay, picture a big rock 20 pounder right

69:53 that big 20 pounder in there, get a bigger splash. So magnitude

69:57 right? You're gonna get a bigger . That big ripple will start off

70:02 . But as it travels further and away from the site of the

70:05 it gets smaller and smaller and You just envision greater potential is the

70:10 is that you're not talking about rocks waves of water. What you're talking

70:14 is a wave of electrical activity. ? So, basically what you're doing

70:19 you're opening up a channel ions flow . And you're saying how much how

70:23 ions are flowing in at the site stimulation? Lots, as you move

70:27 away, how many ions are moving and less and less and less and

70:31 . And the reason is because along way those ions are finding their partner

70:36 they don't need to move any Okay, so this is a very

70:42 small region just like that little splash it just occurs along that short

70:51 So I've already mentioned this, this just showing you size and duration.

70:54 if you need to go back and at that, so bigger membrane potential

70:59 a result of larger stimuli. They they don't show you here is one

71:03 going longer like this. Then you'd one that goes up and longer like

71:08 . All right. So there's some about greater potentials. 1st they decrease

71:15 the intensity of the distance traveled, we've already seen. All right.

71:20 The potential themselves are short lived so don't last forever, basically, they're

71:25 there for that short period of time you get the stimulation. And when

71:28 stimulation dies away, the greater potential as well. So, what this

71:36 trying to show you is that here doing stimulation notice I can go in

71:41 directions. It's just like that When I throw that rock in the

71:45 , the ripple doesn't just come towards . It goes in a circle away

71:48 that site and that's kind of what saying here, look, I'm getting

71:51 stimulation there. So I get this deep polarization, but as I travel

71:56 and further away that deep polarization. I was measuring it at this point

72:00 this point is much much smaller and , the reason for that is because

72:04 ions found a partner and they don't to travel any further. And what

72:10 want to do with the greater potential wanted to get to this point.

72:14 wanted to to arrive there to create stimulus that we need to initiate an

72:19 potential. Now we have names for greater potentials and they're usually abbreviations and

72:27 just make our lives easier. So first type is an excitatory potential.

72:34 . And so remember I am receiving . So what I'm looking at is

72:41 looking in the receiving cell. So you see this term you're in the

72:47 cell, the term is excitatory post potential or E. P.

72:52 P. So it just tells you name it's excitatory. The interaction between

72:57 neurons is called the synapse. So the receiving cell that's on the post

73:02 side and this is the membrane That's why you have potential.

73:07 So here the neurotransmitters being released. is the post synaptic cell and the

73:13 of that neurotransmitters causing the opening of . These are ligand gated channels that

73:19 sodium to rush into the cell. sodium moves into the cell, the

73:23 of the cell becomes more positive. if our cells started off here at

73:28 and I'm becoming more positive because sodium rushing in positive items are coming

73:33 That means I'm moving in this direction means I'm becoming less negative which means

73:38 am de polarizing. So when you the word excitation, you should automatically

73:45 deep polarization. Those two words go hand in hand. All right.

73:50 so this is what it looks like a graph. Right here, you're

73:52 rest, you are deep polarizing. as we saw in this picture over

73:58 , as you move towards the axon , the strength of that signal gets

74:03 and weaker and weaker. So what want is you want to have really

74:06 strong ones. The I. S. P. Is just the

74:09 . See inhibitory post synaptic potential. I am again, I'm on the

74:13 synaptic cell my membrane potential that minus I open up voltage. Sorry,

74:18 gated channels. What's gonna happen is potassium is gonna move out or if

74:23 a chlorine channel, chlorine will move . Alright. And when that happens

74:29 become more negative. Right Leave. moving towards minus an I.

74:36 So what if I if I move direction, what have I done?

74:39 hyper polarized so inhibition or I PS inhibition results in hyper polarization. I

74:46 further away from threshold. And so is what it would look like on

74:50 graph. And just as before the away from the side of excite,

74:55 less membrane potential change you're gonna So it just diminishes over distance

75:04 E. P. S. S. And I. P.

75:05 . P. S. Don't work themselves. They're not particularly strong.

75:10 right. Instead what we have is look at the sum of all the

75:15 PS. And PS PS. That occurring on an individual self. So

75:18 , right here is what a neuron kind of looks like. Right?

75:22 can see there's thousands of interactions between soma and other neurons. Each of

75:28 uh ends representing a synaptic knob. of those knobs are releasing an inhibitory

75:35 , some of our releasing excitatory And so some cells are telling that

75:42 I want you to become excited? of them are telling them I want

75:44 to not become excited. And so we're doing is we're measuring the different

75:50 and inhibition. We're adding things Think of it like a pole,

75:55 ? Have you ever done a poll your friends whether or not you should

75:58 up with that person. Have you that right? It's just like I

76:02 make decisions for myself. So, want you to make it for

76:04 So maybe you go onto your favorite media site and ask your 4000

76:08 right? Say, hey, what I do? Right. And so

76:12 are they gonna do? Some people gonna tell you break up somewhere,

76:16 can say no, no give them chance. And then what you're gonna

76:20 based on that poll is you're going become you'll be broken up or you're

76:25 be staying together and that's kind of these are doing and this this addition

76:30 summation of cells or of signals of P. S. P. S

76:34 I ps ps collectively are referred to the G P. S.

76:38 The grand post synaptic potential. I you guys are excited to get out

76:43 here but we got three more four More minutes. Hey, I

76:49 my clock. All right, so do we get there? How do

76:55 make a G. P. P. Well, it's through this

76:57 of temporal and spatial summation. When see the word temporal, what do

77:01 think of? Thank you when you of space or spatial space?

77:07 here's our last little slide and you go home, go to your next

77:11 , go learn your english which is useless by the way. Never use

77:15 ever again. Alright, spatial summation is when you have two different inputs

77:24 at the same time. Alright, I'm just gonna prove this, we're

77:28 come out here because you guys look you want to play more?

77:30 listen to me clap. Right, me if this is loud, loud

77:36 the two of us clap. is that louder? How about the

77:40 of us? 123? That We did. We added these up

77:44 we? That is spatial summation. three of us acting together creates a

77:49 signal that is all gps P. Tory post synaptic potential plus an excitatory

77:55 synaptic potential plus another excitatory post synaptic , creating a large G.

78:00 S. P. Now we can't you the example what happens when we

78:04 two E. P. S. . S in an I.

78:06 S. P. Because I don't how you do a negative clap.

78:08 just not possible. Alright, so would be spatial temporal. And there

78:13 there is the example of spatial, in the second one so you can

78:16 12 but the two together getting high to reach threshold. Our temporal summation

78:22 when one neuron or one input fires greater frequency. So me clapping creates

78:31 . You can see the space in the collapse. Now, I cannot

78:34 fast enough but just pretend I can't . There's a point where the sound

78:44 the next sound, right? And that's the same thing is going when

78:48 dealing with temporal summation where the signals coming so fast that you never allow

78:52 cell to come back down to And so what you do is you

78:55 building on top of itself and that's it's trying to show you here cancelation

79:00 simply where you take any PSP and I. P. S.

79:02 And you add them together plus five negative five equals great. That's easy

79:08 . All right. But remember you different magnitudes. So, if you

79:10 plus 10 and minus seven, you're have plus three. So when you're

79:17 with cancelation, you're removing magnitude. doesn't necessarily you're not necessarily coming back

79:23 zero. I mean, you might like plus five and negative 10,

79:26 you're seeing more inhibition. But all of these are means by which we're

79:32 to trigger a sell to fire an potential. When we come back on

79:39 , we're gonna deal with the action
