Study Notes
Neurophysiological Changes
- A change in the nerve impulse occurs due to mechanical, chemical, or electrical disturbances, leading to a physiological response.
Resting Neuron Properties
- Potassium ions are more permeable in the resting neuron, resulting in its negative charge.
Myelin Sheath Function
- The myelin sheath acts as an insulator, facilitating rapid transmission of nerve impulses in neurohumoral transmission.
Depolarization During Action Potential
- Depolarization occurs in a neuron during action potential when the membrane potential becomes less negative, reaching a threshold potential, allowing the neuron to fire.
Neurotransmitter Release
- Exocytosis is the process that involves the release of transmitters, enzymes, and proteins into the junctional cleft.
Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP)
- The binding of neurotransmitters to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron leads to Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP) by causing depolarization.
