This state is known as depolarization. It occurs when there is a rapid influx of sodium ions into the neuron, causing the inside of the neuron to become more positively charged compared to the outside.
Depolarisation occurs as ions cross the membrane of a cell or a nuron. Ions such as NA+ or K+ make depolarisation happen. Depolarisation can work on a threshold potetional such as in the heart. Threshold potetional A threshold potetional is a self- regenerating wave of electrical current depolairsation. In the hearts cells depolarisation happends when the cells of the heart are brought to a voltage threshold because of NA+ ions.Soduim NA+ is a soft, silvery-white powerderd ion. Soduim is found in sea water and also in rocks. Liquid soduim is used for depolarisation of the heart and is a clear liquid.
an action potential moves along the neuron
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
an action potential moves along the neuron
The function of a neuron is to transfer messages throughout the brain. These neurons are all attached and interpret everything that happens.
The voltage-gated Na+ channels get deactivated, thus the sodium ions cannot diffuse into the cell and cause depolarisation and this also provides time for the membrane to prepare for its second action potential.
The activation of a motor neuron in a stretch reflex occurs when a muscle spindle detects a quick stretch in a muscle. This sensory information is relayed to the spinal cord, where it synapses with the motor neuron corresponding to the stretched muscle. The motor neuron is then activated, causing the muscle to contract and counteract the stretch, leading to the reflexive response. This process happens rapidly, often without conscious thought, to protect the muscle from excessive stretching.
During an action potential in a neuron, there is a rapid change in electrical charge across the cell membrane. This change allows for the transmission of signals along the neuron.
During an action potential, the neuron's electrical charge rapidly changes from negative to positive, allowing for the transmission of signals along the neuron.
