Synaptic transmission can be affected by several factors: 1. Synaptic fatigue can occur due to exhaustion of neurotransmitters from continuous stimulation of presynaptic neurons. 2. Synaptic delay is the minimum time required for transmission across the synapse, about 0.5 milliseconds. 3. Alkalosis increases neuronal excitability while acidosis depresses activity. Ion concentrations like calcium and magnesium also influence transmission. Hypoxia and many drugs can impact neuronal excitability and synaptic function. Anesthetics generally decrease synaptic transmission.

General Physiology - Action potential
The document summarizes membrane potentials and action potentials in nerve cells. It discusses:
1) The concentration gradients that give rise to resting membrane potentials via the Nernst equation and Goldman equation. Key ions like sodium, potassium and chloride contribute to a resting potential of around -90mV.
2) How action potentials are initiated when the membrane reaches a threshold potential, causing voltage-gated sodium channels to open and depolarize the membrane. Potassium channels then open to repolarize the membrane.
3) The roles of other ions like calcium and various ion pumps and channels in maintaining resting potentials and propagating action potentials down nerve fibers via saltatory conduction. Action potentials rely on precise ion concentration gradients maintained
Neuromuscular junction and Neuromuscular transmission
The document summarizes the structure and function of the neuromuscular junction. It describes the key components of the presynaptic axon terminal, synaptic cleft, and postsynaptic membrane. It then explains the series of events that occur during neuromuscular transmission, including the propagation of the action potential, release of acetylcholine, binding to nicotinic receptors, and generation of the endplate potential. It concludes by discussing acetylcholine degradation and reuptake, neuromuscular blockers and stimulators, and the pathology of myasthenia gravis.
Neuromuscular junction
This document discusses the neuromuscular junction and several disorders that can affect it. It begins by describing the basic anatomy and physiology of the motor unit and neuromuscular junction. It then reviews several disorders in more depth, including myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, and neuromyotonia. For each disorder, it discusses the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. The goal is to provide clinicians with an overview of these neuromuscular junction disorders.
Graded potential
There are four main types of gated ion channels that open or close in response to different stimuli: voltage-gated, chemically-gated, mechanically-gated, and thermally-gated channels. Graded potentials are local changes in membrane potential that vary in strength and duration depending on the stimulus. They can be excitatory or inhibitory and occur through temporal or spatial summation of incremental stimuli at the dendrite or soma. Graded potentials spread passively within the cell and may cause a secondary action potential if they reach the axon hillock threshold.
Action potential
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.
Nerve & Action potential
This document discusses the generation and propagation of action potentials in neurons. It notes that neurons respond to stimuli by producing either local, non-propagated potentials or propagated action potentials. Action potentials are generated when voltage-gated sodium channels open in response to depolarization, allowing sodium ions to rush in and briefly reverse the membrane potential. This wave of depolarization then propagates down the axon by electrotonic conduction. The document outlines the changes in membrane permeability and potential during an action potential and describes how action potentials conduct in either direction along the axon.
Dorsal column medial leminiscus
The document discusses somatic sensations and mechanical receptors. It classifies somatic sensations into mechanoreceptive, thermoreceptive, and pain senses. It describes six types of tactile receptors - free nerve endings, Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's discs, Iggo dome receptor, hair end-organ, and Ruffini's end-organs. It discusses how these receptors detect touch, pressure, vibration and transmit signals. It also summarizes the dorsal column-medial lemniscal system and anterolateral system, and how lesions in different pathways impact sensations.
Action potential
This document provides a summary of the action potential in excitable tissues like nerves and muscles. It explains that excitable cells maintain a resting membrane potential with a negative charge inside and positive outside due to potassium ion leakage and intracellular proteins. An action potential is triggered by stimuli and causes rapid depolarization as sodium ions enter the cell, repolarization as potassium ions exit, returning the membrane to its resting potential. Precise ion channel openings and closings enable impulse transmission and functions like muscle contraction. Sodium-potassium pumps then restore ion gradients using ATP.

Reflex Arc.pptx
The document discusses reflex arcs and reflexes. It defines a reflex arc as an involuntary response to a stimulus that involves a receptor, sensory transmission through afferent nerves, integration in the central nervous system, and motor response through efferent nerves and effectors. It provides the example of a spinal reflex using a headless frog where touching the limb causes withdrawal. The basic components of a reflex arc are described as the receptor, afferent limb, center (spinal cord or brain), efferent limb, and effector organ. Reflexes are also classified clinically, by number of synapses, and physiologically.
Synaptic Transmission
Synaptic transmission involves the transfer of information from the axon terminal of one neuron to the next neuron across the synaptic cleft via the release of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are contained in vesicles and are released into the synaptic cleft upon the arrival of an action potential, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing ion channels to open and generate postsynaptic potentials. The integration of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials determines whether the postsynaptic neuron reaches its firing threshold. Chemical synaptic transmission allows for flexibility, plasticity, and amplification of neuronal signals compared to electrical transmission.
Peripheral nervous system
The document discusses different types of cholinergic and adrenergic receptors in the body. It describes how cholinergic receptors are classified into nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. Nicotinic receptors are further divided into NM and NN receptors located at neuromuscular junctions and autonomic ganglia.

Adrenergic receptors are classified into alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2, and beta-3 receptors, with details provided on their locations and responses. The mechanisms of action of these various receptor types are also summarized.

1. The document discusses the electrical changes that occur in muscles during contraction, known as the resting membrane potential and action potential.
2. The resting membrane potential is the voltage difference across the cell membrane at rest, around -70mV for nerves and -80mV to -90mV for muscles. It results from ion gradients established by the sodium-potassium pump and diffusion of sodium and potassium ions.
3. When a muscle is stimulated, an action potential occurs through depolarization and repolarization phases, resulting in a rapid change in membrane potential. The action potential propagates the signal along the membrane.
General Physiology - Motor Functions of the Spinal Cord; the Cord Reflexes
The spinal cord contains neurons that control motor functions and reflexes. There are anterior motor neurons that innervate skeletal muscles, and interneurons that connect motor neurons. The cord contains reflex circuits mediated by propriospinal fibers and interneurons. Sensory receptors like muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs detect changes in muscle length and tension, eliciting stretch and withdrawal reflexes. Spinal cord lesions initially cause spinal shock and loss of reflexes, which gradually recover over weeks.

RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL
Potential difference across the cell membrane at rest is called RMP
All living cells has RMP
RMP is negative inside with respect to outside
Recording is done by using two microelectrodes
One is inserted into the cell and other on the outer surface of membrane and both attached to meter
Micro electrodes are made up of silver containing silver chlorideValues of RMP in different tissues:
Nerve fiber and skeletal muscle= -90 mV
Cardiac muscle = -85 - -90 mV
Smooth muscle = -55 - -60 mV
SA nodal fibers = -55 - -60 mV
All the voltage gated channels are closed at RMP i.e. voltage gated Na, K, Ca Channels.
Leak Channels i.e. Potassium Sodium leak channels are open at RMP
Ligand Gated Channels also known as chemical gated channels open and close when a ligand binds with the receptors of channels. Ligand may be a neurotransmitter or a hormone e.g. Acetylcholine gated channels in the muscle membrane at the neuromuscular junction.
Pumps are also present like sodium potassium ATPase pump, calcium pump. Generally in cell membrane there is Na K ATPase pump.
Na K pump pumps actively Na and K
Both leak channels and Na K pump are active at rest
Neuromuscular transmission
This document summarizes the neuromuscular transmission process, including the structure and function of the neuromuscular junction, the role of acetylcholine, and the effects of various drugs. It describes how motor neurons innervate muscle fibers to form motor units. Transmission involves the release of acetylcholine from the motor neuron terminal, which binds nicotinic receptors and opens ion channels on the muscle fiber membrane. Various toxins and conditions like myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton syndrome can disrupt this process.

Sensory receptors detect stimuli and transmit data about them to the brain. There are several types of sensory receptors located throughout the body that detect senses like touch, temperature, sound, smell, and taste. Sensory receptors respond to stimuli by generating receptor potentials that trigger action potentials along sensory neurons to the central nervous system. The main types of sensory receptors include mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, and thermoreceptors. Specific receptors like Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner's corpuscles, and Merkel cells are mechanoreceptors in the skin responsible for detecting touch, pressure, and vibration.Lecture 5 (membrane potential and action potential)
This document discusses membrane potentials and action potentials in excitable cells like neurons and muscles. It covers:
1. The resting membrane potential of -70mV that is maintained by selective permeability of potassium ions and active transport by the sodium-potassium pump.
2. How an action potential is generated when the membrane reaches its threshold voltage due to an influx of sodium ions, causing rapid depolarization. It then repolarizes as potassium ions efflux.
3. The propagation of action potentials along neurons or muscle fibers to transmit electrical signals and cause effects like muscle contraction or neurotransmitter release.
Action potential
This document summarizes the action potential in neurons. It describes how an action potential is initiated by voltage-gated sodium channels opening during depolarization. This allows sodium ions to rush into the neuron, further depolarizing the membrane. Then, the sodium channels quickly inactivate while voltage-gated potassium channels open, allowing potassium ions to leave the neuron and repolarize the membrane back to its resting potential. The precise opening and closing of sodium and potassium channels underlies the generation and propagation of action potentials along neuronal membranes.
The synapse
This document provides an overview of synapses, including their definition, structure, function, types of transmission (electrical vs. chemical), neurotransmitters, and various properties like synaptic delay, fatigue, summation, and more. It discusses excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters and how convergence and divergence allow signals to be dispersed or combined. Clinical implications are that problems with synaptic transmission can cause diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL
The resting membrane potential of neurons and muscle cells is maintained around -70 mV due to selective permeability of ions across the cell membrane. The sodium-potassium pump actively transports 3 Na+ ions out and 2 K+ ions into the cell, contributing to the negative interior potential. When the membrane potential reaches the threshold, voltage-gated sodium channels open rapidly, causing a sharp depolarization as sodium ions rush in. Subsequently, voltage-gated potassium channels open more slowly, repolarizing the membrane as potassium ions efflux from the cell. This generates an action potential that propagates by local current flow between adjacent areas of the membrane. The sodium-potassium pump then restores ion gradients in preparation for the next action potential
Properties of skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscle has electrical and mechanical properties. Electrically, it is excitable and conductive, allowing it to receive and propagate action potentials. Mechanically, it can contract when stimulated, shortenening and developing tension. Skeletal muscle action potentials last 2-4 ms and propagate at 3-5 m/s. Contraction occurs slightly after the electrical response and can be isometric (no shortening) or isotonic (shortening against a load). Force of contraction depends on factors like stimulus strength, frequency, initial muscle length, and temperature.
3.9 SMOOTH MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY
Dr. Nilesh Kate's document provides an overview of smooth muscle physiology. It discusses the functional anatomy and organization of smooth muscle, including that it is non-striated, involuntary muscle that exists in bundles. It describes the two types of smooth muscle - single unit and multi unit - and their characteristics. The document outlines the structure of smooth muscle fibers and covers the processes of excitability, contraction, and relaxation. It explains excitation and inhibition of smooth muscle can occur through nerves, hormones, pacemakers, stretching or temperature changes. In summary, the document provides a comprehensive review of smooth muscle types, organization, function and physiology.
Nerve Impulse
1) Nerve impulses propagate along axons via the movement of sodium and potassium ions across the axon membrane.
2) At rest, the axon maintains a negative charge due to higher concentrations of potassium and organic ions inside the axon and higher concentrations of sodium and chloride ions outside.
3) When an impulse is generated, the permeability of the axon membrane to sodium briefly increases, allowing sodium to flow inside and depolarize the membrane. This creates an electrical signal called an action potential.
Receptor
This document discusses receptors and neurons that detect sensory information. It begins by defining perception and describing how sensory information is transmitted from receptors to the central nervous system. It then categorizes the different sensory modalities like touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception. The document goes on to describe the different types of sensory receptors, including their locations, the stimuli they detect, and whether they adapt rapidly or slowly. It provides examples of specific receptors like Meissner corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, and thermoreceptors. In closing, it notes the uneven distribution of receptors in the skin and modalities detected in the skin.
Autonomic nervous system Physiology
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls involuntary functions like heartbeat, breathing, and digestion. It has two divisions - the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
The sympathetic system prepares the body for "fight or flight" through actions like increasing heart rate. It uses norepinephrine as a neurotransmitter. The parasympathetic system allows the body to "rest and digest" through actions like slowing the heart rate. It uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter.
Both systems involve two neurons - a preganglionic neuron from the CNS and a postganglionic neuron. They differ in the lengths of their neurons and the locations of their cell bodies. Together they work to maintain homeostasis through complementary
Synaptic transmission
this ppt shares what synapses are and how information of one neuron is transmitted to other through the synapses. it also includes the properties and plasticity of synaptic transmission
Synapse
A synapse is a junction between two neurons that allows nerve impulses to be transmitted chemically or electrically. In a chemical synapse, an action potential causes calcium ions to enter the presynaptic neuron, triggering vesicles filled with neurotransmitters like acetylcholine to fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing ion channels to open and generating a postsynaptic potential that may be excitatory or inhibitory. Acetylcholine is removed from the synaptic cleft by diffusion and enzymatic breakdown to terminate its effect and allow subsequent impulses to be transmitted.

In a chemical synapse, an action potential causes calcium ions to enter the presynaptic neuron, triggering vesicles filled with neurotransmitters like acetylcholine to fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing ion channels to open and generating a postsynaptic potential that may be excitatory or inhibitory. Acetylcholine is removed from the synaptic cleft by diffusion and enzymatic breakdown to terminate its effect and allow subsequent impulses to be transmitted.
The Synapse
The document discusses synaptic transmission between neurons. There are two types of synapses: electrical synapses allow direct ion flow between neurons, transmitting signals fast. Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters released into a gap and binding to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, transmitting signals more slowly but with more complexity through different neurotransmitters. The chemical synapse process involves vesicles releasing neurotransmitters in response to an action potential, the neurotransmitters binding to receptors and opening ion channels to potentially trigger another action potential.
Models of Synaptic Transmission (1)
The document discusses models of synaptic transmission between neurons. It covers basic principles like the roles of neurotransmitters, ion channels, and vesicles. It also examines dynamic properties like short-term plasticity from factors like calcium concentration and vesicle depletion/replenishment. Phenomenological models are presented to describe effects like depression, facilitation, and receptor desensitization. The impacts of synaptic dynamics on neural coding and network behavior are also addressed.
Synapses
Synapses are junctions between neurons that allow for communication through either electrical or chemical transmission. Anatomically, synapses can be classified based on where the axon of one neuron connects to the other neuron, such as onto the cell body, dendrite, or axon. Functionally, synapses are either electrical, using gap junctions, or chemical, using neurotransmitters. Chemically, synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory based on the neurotransmitters released, with excitatory synapses transmitting impulses and inhibitory synapses inhibiting transmission. Key properties of synapses include one-way conduction, synaptic delay, fatigue due to depletion of neurotransmitters, summation effects from multiple stimulations, and the generation of
Chemical and electrical synapse
This document discusses and compares chemical and electrical synapses. It defines a synapse as a junction between two neurons. There are three types of synapses: chemical, electrical, and conjoint. Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters for impulse transmission across the synaptic cleft in one direction, while electrical synapses have direct connections through gap junctions that allow for faster two-way transmission. Key differences are that chemical synapses exhibit synaptic properties and delay, while electrical synapses do not.

synaptictransmission
This document summarizes the chemicals involved in synaptic transmission between neurons. It describes the structure of the synapse including the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes separated by the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic terminal and released into the cleft via exocytosis in response to an action potential. The major classes of neurotransmitters - small molecules like acetylcholine, amines, amino acids and nitric oxide and larger neuropeptides - are outlined along with their functions and roles in excitation or inhibition. The process of synaptic transmission and vesicle fusion is also depicted.
Signal transmission at synapses
A chemical synapse transmits signals between neurons through the following process: (1) An action potential in the presynaptic neuron causes calcium ion influx and neurotransmitter release, (2) The neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, (3) This causes ion channels to open, generating a postsynaptic potential that may trigger an action potential if the threshold is reached. Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters to indirectly transmit signals between neurons separated by a synaptic cleft, while electrical synapses allow direct transmission through gap junctions.
Synapses and drugs
A synapse is the junction between two neurons, with a tiny gap called the synaptic cleft. Chemical neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron and diffuse across the cleft to bind with receptor sites on the postsynaptic neuron, which can cause it to depolarize and generate an action potential. Neuromuscular junctions operate similarly, connecting motor neurons to muscle fibers. Drugs can mimic, stimulate, or inhibit neurotransmitters, affecting synaptic transmission in various ways.
3. synapse 08-09
A synapse is the junction between neurons that allows electrical or chemical signals to pass from one cell to another. At a chemical synapse, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron causes neurotransmitters to be released into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell, causing ion channels to open and potentially triggering an action potential in that cell. Precise transmission of signals across synapses is crucial for normal nervous system function.

Graded potentials are local changes in membrane potential that vary in strength depending on the stimulus. They spread through passive diffusion but decay over short distances. Action potentials occur when the membrane reaches threshold potential, causing voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels to open and reverse the membrane potential before restoring it. They travel along axons through contiguous conduction. At synapses, neurotransmitters released from presynaptic neurons can excite or inhibit postsynaptic neurons through temporal and spatial summation of EPSPs and IPSPs. Presynaptic inputs determine postsynaptic responses through facilitation or inhibition of neurotransmitter release.

This document provides an overview of the structure and function of the nervous system. It discusses the components and subdivisions of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Key topics covered include the functions of neurons, types of neurons, glial cells, myelinated and unmyelinated axons, concentration gradients across cell membranes maintained by sodium-potassium pumps, and gated ion channels that allow the transmission of electrical signals along neurons.
Depolarizing Neuromuscular Blockers
This document discusses depolarizing neuromuscular blockers, which are drugs that cause muscle relaxation by initially stimulating muscle fiber membranes through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to depolarization and muscle contraction, followed by desensitization of the receptors preventing further contraction. Succinylcholine is a commonly used depolarizing blocker that acts rapidly but has a short duration. It causes initial muscle fasciculations before paralysis sets in, reversing from smaller muscles to larger ones like the diaphragm. Depolarizing blockers are used to facilitate procedures like intubation but can rarely cause adverse effects like hyperkalemia or malignant hyperthermia.

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a synapse between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fiber. At the NMJ:
1) Motor neurons release acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft when an action potential arrives, which binds to receptors on the muscle fiber membrane.
2) This opens ion channels, allowing sodium ions to flow in and initiate an action potential in the muscle fiber, causing contraction.
3) The NMJ uses acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter and acetylcholine receptors to transmit signals from motor neurons to muscles in a precisely regulated process.

Synapses akriti
Synapses are neuro-neuronal junctions that transmit information from one neuron to another. Key properties of synapses include forward conduction of impulses from presynaptic to postsynaptic terminals. Intense stimulation can cause synaptic fatigue due to depletion of neurotransmitters. Synaptic delay of ~0.5 ms helps determine the number of synapses in a pathway. Convergence allows many inputs to influence a cell while divergence allows one input to affect multiple neurons. Synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation and depression, underlies learning and memory formation.
Neuro humoral transmission
The document discusses neurohumoral transmission via the autonomic nervous system. It describes how the ANS is comprised of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which modulate involuntary functions via neurotransmitters. The two main divisions differ in their origins, neurotransmitters, and target organ effects. Neurotransmission occurs via the binding of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and norepinephrine to receptors, producing excitatory or inhibitory post-synaptic potentials that mediate various physiological responses. Neurotransmitters are synthesized, stored in vesicles, released upon neuronal firing, and degraded or reabsorbed to terminate synaptic transmission.

Neuromuscular junction and synapses by DR.IRUM
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the connection between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fiber. At the NMJ, the motor neuron terminal releases acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft, which binds to acetylcholine receptors on the muscle fiber membrane. This opens ion channels and generates an endplate potential in the muscle fiber, causing it to contract. Key aspects of the NMJ include synaptic vesicles containing acetylcholine, voltage-gated calcium channels that trigger vesicle fusion and release, and densely packed acetylcholine receptors in the subneural cleft that respond to the neurotransmitter.

A synapse is the gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of the first neuron and received by the dendrite of the next neuron. The average neuron has around 1,000 synapses. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, GABA, and glutamate are released into the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors, either exciting or inhibiting the next neuron. Drugs like methamphetamine, nicotine, and alcohol can interfere with neurotransmission by altering neurotransmitter release or receptor binding.

general steps neuro transmission.......pptx
The autonomic nervous system functions unconsciously to control visceral functions. It has two divisions - the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system increases heart rate and prepares the body for fight or flight. The parasympathetic system decreases heart rate and focuses on rest and digestion. Neurotransmission in the autonomic nervous system involves the release of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and norepinephrine which bind to post-junctional receptors and induce responses like muscle contraction or gland secretion.

FACTORS EFFECTING SYNAPATICFACTORS EFFECTING SYNAPATIC TRANSMISSION: ALKALOSISTRANSMISSION: ALKALOSIS • Normally, alkalosis greatly increases neuronal excitability. • For instance, a rise in arterial blood pH from the 7.4 norm to 7.8 to 8.0 often causes cerebral epileptic seizures because of increased excitability of some or all of the cerebral neurons. • This can be demonstrated especially well by asking a person who is predisposed to epileptic seizures to overbreathe. • The overbreathing blows off carbon dioxide and therefore elevates the pH of the blood momentarily.
