1. An action potential, or nerve impulse, occurs when a neuron reaches its threshold level and is stimulated to send a message along its axon.
2. The action potential involves two steps - depolarization, where sodium ions rush into the neuron, reversing the charge; and repolarization, where potassium ions rush out, restoring the charge.
3. After repolarization, the sodium-potassium pump restores the ion concentrations to prepare the neuron to fire again if stimulated. Myelin insulation allows the impulse to jump from node to node, speeding up conduction.
these slides contain a brief introduction of neurons and its classification as well as details of generation of action potential, resting potential and eletrotonic potential.

It is over 60 years since Hodgkin and
Huxley1 made the first direct recording of
the electrical changes across the neuronal
membrane that mediate the action
potential. Using an electrode placed inside a
squid giant axon they were able to measure a
transmembrane potential of around 260 mV
inside relative to outside, under resting
conditions (this is called the resting membrane
potential). The action potential is a
transient (,1 millisecond) reversal in the
polarity of this transmembrane potential
which then moves from its point of initiation,
down the axon, to the axon terminals. In a
subsequent series of elegant experiments
Hodgkin and Huxley, along with Bernard
Katz, discovered that the action potential
results from transient changes in the permeability
of the axon membrane to sodium (Na+)
and potassium (K+) ions. Importantly, Na+ and
K+ cross the membrane through independent
pathways that open in response to a change
in membrane potential.
As testimony to their pioneering work, the
fundamental mechanisms described by
Hodgkin, Huxley and Katz remain applicable
to all excitable cells today. Indeed, the
predictions they made about the molecular
mechanisms that might underlie the changes
in membrane permeability showed remarkable
foresight. The molecular basis of the action
potential lies in the presence of proteins
called ion channels that form the permeation
pathways across the neuronal membrane.
Although the first electrophysiological
recordings from individual ion channels were
not made until the mid 1970s,2 Hodgkin and
Huxley predicted many of the properties now
known to be key components of their
function: ion selectivity, the electrical basis
of voltage-sensitivity and, importantly, a
mechanism for quickly closing down the
permeability pathways to ensure that the
action potential only moves along the axon in
one direction.

Describes the action potential occuring in the muscle. It includes the cellular and molecular organization of the muscle particularly on the myosin and actin myofilaments. Describes likewise the steps of muscle contraction.
Membrane potential (also transmembrane potential or membrane voltage) is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. ... Almost all plasma membranes have an electrical potential across them, with the inside usually negative with respect to the outside.

6. Write a description of a neuron at rest. What happens to a neuron that results in the action
potential? Include the following terms: semi-permeable cell membrane; electrostatic forces;
concentration gradient; ion channel; Na+; K+; sodium-potassium pump; EPSP; IPSP; threshold
[3 points; 1 for including all the terms, 2 for describing accurately]
Solution
neuron:they are the masses of nerve cells that transmits information.
neuron at rest:when a neuron is not responding to a signal it is at rest,when a neuron is in resting
state the axonal membrane is comparitively more permeable to potassium K+ and almost
imppermeable to sodium ions Na+.in the same way the membrane is impermeable to negatively
charged proteins present in the axoplasm.the axoplasm inside the axon contains high
concentrations of K+ and a high concentration of Na+ forming a concentration gradient. the
electrostatic forces help them to ability to conduct...the ionic gradients across the resting
membrane are maintained by active transport of ions by the sodium potassium pump.it transports
3Na+ outwards and2K+ in to the cell the outer surface of the axonal membrane possesses a
positive charge it inner surface contain a negative charge and gets polarised.the electrical
potential across the resting plasma membrane is called resting potential or polarization
neuron that results in action potential :when a neuron is stimulus it is applied on the site of a
polarized membrane.the membrane at that site becomes freely permeable to Na+.this leads to a
rapid influx of Na+ followed by the reversal of the polarity at that site, outer surface of
membrane becomes negatively charged and the inner side becomes positively charged . the
polarity of the membrane at the site -a is called action potential.or depolarisation.or also termed
as nerve impulse.the EPSP deplorise the membrane and move closer to the thersold for action
potential.IPSP hypolarise the membrane and moves farther away to the potential.....

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. OVERVIEW OF A NERVE IMPULSE
1.Resting potential – neuron is not stimulated at threshold level
2.Action potential – neuron responds to stimulus, sends “message” along axon
a. Depolarization
b. Repolarization
** Potential = difference in charge (measured in volts)
4. WHY IS MEMBRANE POLARIZED AT REST?
1. Na+
/K+
pump maintains ion distribution - transports 3 Na+
out and 2 K+
in
2. K+
diffuses out faster – membrane is more permeable
3. Na +
is attracted to cell because of its concentration gradient
4. Membrane is impermeable to large negatively charged ions
6. ACTION POTENTIAL = NERVE IMPULSE
Occurs in excitable membranes – neurons and muscle
fibers
Critical level must be reached (“threshold”) before
impulse is sent
Positive feedback mechanism
All-or-none response
Lasts a few milliseconds
2 steps:
Depolarization
Repolarization
7. DEPOLARIZATION
Stimulus causes adjacent Na+
ion channels to open along axon
Na+
ions rush into cell (high low concentration)
Movement of Na+
ions reverses the charge of the membrane
(depolarization):
Inside cell membrane – positive charge
Outside cell membrane – negative charge
If threshold is reached, adjacent Na+
ion channels to open along axon
11. AFTER REPOLARIZATION
Na+
/K+
pump corrects ion distribution
Inside cell – high K+
, low Na+
Outside cell – low K+
, high Na+
Another impulse can now occur
12. ROLE OF MYELIN
Myelin insulates the axon
Action potential must “jump” from node to node
Saltatory conduction
Action potential is MUCH faster than along an
unmyelinated axon
13. FACTORS AFFECTING NERVE IMPULSE
Local anesthetics – block Na+
channels – no Na+
movement = no AP
Continuous cold and/or pressure – blocks circulation (flow of nutrients
and oxygen), so there is no energy for Na+
/K+
Pump = no AP
