This document provides an overview and summary of key concepts from a lecture on neurons, synapses, and signaling from Campbell Biology, 9th Edition. It discusses the structure and function of neurons, how the resting membrane potential is established via ion pumps and channels, how action potentials are generated and propagated, and how neurons communicate at synapses. The summary covers the essential topics and flow of information presented in the lecture.

- 6. Neuron Structure andFunction • Most of a neuron’s organelles are in the cell body • Most neurons have dendrites, highly branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons • The axon is typically a much longer extension that transmits signals to other cells at synapses • The cone-shaped base of an axon is called the axon hillock 軸突坵 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

- 8. Concept 48.2: Ionpumps and ion channels maintain the resting potential of a neuron • Every cell has a voltage (difference in electrical charge) across its plasma membrane called a membrane potential (potential=電壓,電位) • Messages are transmitted as changes in membrane potential • The resting potential is the membrane potential of a neuron not sending signals –The inside of a cell is negative relative to the outside

- 16. 觀念回顧 • 膜電位的產生 – 因為1.膜內外離子分佈不均 2.打開特定離子通道 – 離子移動會達成平衡,產生穩定的電壓 • 單一離子通道造成的膜電位可以 Nernst equation 計算 出 • 由Co/Ci比值決定 (10/1 與100/10產生相同膜電位) – 交替打開不同的離子通道就可使膜電位在不同值之間跳 動 • 打開K+ channel: -90 mV • 打開Na+ channel: +60 mV
- 17. 觀念補充 • 細胞的靜止膜電位(-70mV)的實際值比K+的平 衡電位理埨值(-90mV)稍高 – 雖然主要由K+離子通道造成但平常仍有相對少數 的Na+通道是開著 •計算單一離子通道產生之平衡電位 – 與通道數目無關 • 實際會受相對通道數目影響

- 24. ACTION POTENTIAL • Twokinds of voltage-gated channels open during action potential – voltage-gated Na+ channel: 開得快 關得快 – voltage-gated K+ channel: 開得慢 關得慢 • Voltage-gated Na+ channel – 因受刺激→去極化→打開 – Na+進入→造成更大去極化→形成連鎖反應 1. 最後所有Na+通道都打開 • 每次AP時所有Na+ 通道都打開 • 所以AP 大小都一樣 2. 在鄰近區域引發去極化並產生AP

Refractory Period不反應期 • Absoluterefractory period: – Axon membrane is incapable of producing another AP. – VG Na + channel inactivated • Relative refractory period: – More K+ channels are open (VG + leak K+ channels). – Hyperpolarization – Axon membrane can produce another action potential, but requires stronger stimulus.
- 28. Conduction of ActionPotentials • An action potential travel by regenerating itself along the axon – action potential is generated at the axon hillock, • Refractory period prevents the action potential from traveling backwards • Conduction speed is increased by – Larger diameter – Myelination
