Cell Membrane Potential
•A cell membrane is usually electrically charged, or
polarized, so that the inside of the membrane is negatively
charged with respect to the outside of the membrane (which is
positively charged).
• This is as a result of unequal distribution of ions on the
inside and the outside of the membrane.

Distribution of Ions
• Potassium (K+) ions are the major intracellular positive ions (cations).
• Sodium (Na+) ions are the major extracellular positive ions (cations).
• This distribution is largely created by the Sodium/Potassium Pump
(Na+/K+ pump).
• This pump actively transports 3 sodium ions out of the cell and 2
potassium ions into the cell.

Resting Potential
• Resting Membrane Potential
(RMP):
• 70 mV difference from
inside to outside of cell
• It is a polarized
membrane
• Inside of cell is negative
relative to the outside of
the cell
• RMP = -70 mV
• Due to distribution of
ions inside vs. outside
• Na+/K+ pump restores

Local Potential Changes
• Caused by various stimuli:• Temperature changes
• Light
• Pressure
• Environmental changes affect the membrane potential by
opening a gated ion channel
• Channels are 1)Leakage channels
2) chemically gated, 3) voltage gated, or 4) mechanically gated.

Local Potential Changes
• If membrane potential becomes more negative, it is hyperpolarized.
• If membrane potential becomes less negative, it is depolarized.
• Graded (or proportional) to intensity of stimulation reaching
threshold potential.
• Reaching threshold potential results in a nerve impulse, starting an
action potential.

• Absolute Refractory Period• Time when threshold stimulus does not start another
action potential
• Relative Refractory Period• Time when stronger threshold stimulus can start another
action potential

All-or-None Response
• If a neuron axon responds at all, it responds completely –
with an action potential (nerve impulse).
•A nerve impulse is conducted whenever a stimulus of
threshold intensity or above is applied to an axon
•All impulses carried on an axon are the same strength

The Synapse
• Nerve impulses pass
from neuron to neuron at
synapses, moving from a
pre-synaptic neuron to a
post-synaptic neuron.

Synaptic Transmission
• This is where released neurotransmitters cross the
synaptic cleft and react with specific molecules called
receptors in the postsynaptic neuron membrane.
• Effects of neurotransmitters vary.
• Some neurotransmitters may open ion channels and
others may close ion channels.

Synaptic Potentials
• EPSP
• Excitatory postsynaptic potential
• Graded
• Depolarizes membrane of postsynaptic neuron
•Action potential of postsynaptic neuron becomes more likely
• IPSP
• Inhibitory postsynaptic potential
• Graded
• Hyperpolarizes membrane of postsynaptic neuron
•Action potential of postsynaptic neuron becomes less likely

Summation of EPSPs and IPSPs
• EPSPs and IPSPs are added
together in a process called
summation
• More EPSPs lead to greater
probability of an action

Neuropeptides
• Neurons in the brain or spinal cord synthesize neuropeptides.
• These neuropeptides act as neurotransmitters.
• Examples include:
• Enkephalins
• Beta endorphin
• Substance P
