The document summarizes the physiology of neurons and how nerve impulses are generated and propagated. It discusses how ions like sodium and potassium contribute to the resting membrane potential and how an action potential is initiated. When a neuron is stimulated enough to reach threshold, sodium channels open causing depolarization as sodium ions rush in. Then potassium channels open leading to repolarization as potassium ions rush out, restoring the resting potential. The document also describes the differences between continuous and saltatory conduction in unmyelinated and myelinated neurons respectively.
My first attempt at this presentation for the IB Diploma Programme Biology course: topic 6.5 neurons and synapses. I'm hoping another great educator out there can take this, make it look a lot better, and then share it :)

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
3. The Nerve Impulse or Action
Potential
• Is the electrical current
moving from the
dendrites to cell body to
axon.
• It results from the
movement of ions
(charged particles) into
and out a neuron through
the plasma membrane.
4. Ion channels
• Special proteins in the plasma
membrane allowing specific ions
to pass through.
• Some remain open all the time.
Others will open and close
depending on the conditions of
the cell and its environment.
5. Resting Membrane Potential
• Is the difference in electrical charge on the outside and
inside of the plasma membrane in a resting neuron (not
conducting a nerve impulse).
• The outside has a positive charge and the inside has a
negative charge.
• We refer to this as a polarized membrane.
• A resting neuron is at about -70mV
6.
7. Why is there a difference?
1. There is 30 times more K+ inside the cell than outside
and about 15 times more Na+ outside than inside.
2. There are also large negatively charged proteins trapped
inside the cell. (This is why it is negative inside.)
8.
9. Would you expect to see so
much K+ inside and so much
Na+ outside?
10. Why so much K+ inside?
• Special protein channels called sodium-potassium pumps
moving 3 Na+ out and bringing 2 K+ back in, when the
cell is at rest.
• In a resting cell there are no open channels for Na+ to
easily move back into the cell. However, there are some
K+ channels open at all time.
• Na+ causes the outside to be positive forcing more K+
into the cell. (Lots of potassium ions inside the resting
cell.)
11.
12. Review
• In a resting neuron the inside of the cell has a
__________ charge.
• In a resting neuron potassium ions are in high
concentration __________ of the cell.
• The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about
_____mV.
15. Steps in an action potential
1. The neuron gets stimulated (ex. receives a signal from
another neuron). This stimulation causes a change in the
resting membrane potential.
2. If a neuron is stimulated enough the inside of the cell will
reach a critical level called threshold (about -
55mV).
3. At this point sodium ion channels will open.
18. Depolarization
4. Sodium ions rush into the neuron because of diffusion
forces (high to low) and charge attraction (+ and -).
5. The charge inside the cell eventually reaches about
+30mV. (Relative to the outside of the cell the inside is
now positive and the outside is negative.) At this point
the sodium ion channels close.
• This change in polarization (- inside to +) is called
depolarization (step 4 and 5)
19.
20.
21. Repolarization
6. Next, potassium ion channels open up. This causes K+ to
rush out of the cell.
7. As the K+ leaves it causes the inside of the cell to
become negative again (-70mV). This is referred to as
repolarization (step 6 and 7).
22.
23.
24. Review
• What happens during the depolarization phase of an
action potential?
• What happens during the repolarization phase of an
action potential?
26. All-or-None Principle
• If a stimulus is strong
enough to generate an
action potential (reaches
threshold), the impulse is
conducted along the entire
length of the neuron at the
same strength.
27. Continuous conduction
• Occurs in unmyelinated neurons.
• It is a step-by-step depolarization
of each adjacent area of the axon
(or dendrite) membrane.
• It results form one area
depolarizing causing the next area
to reach threshold and depolarize.
28. Saltatory conduction
• Occurs in myelinated neurons.
• Depolarization only occurs at the nodes of Ranvier.
• The action potential jumps from one node to the next.
• Saltatory conduction will conduct the signal much faster
than continuous conduction.
29. Summary
• On a ½ sheet of paper describe how continuous
conduction is different than saltatory conduction.
• Before writing your answer share your thought with
your neighbor.
