ECE602 BME I Ordinary Differential Equations in Biomedical Engineering (Cont’d)
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • An empirical model of an action potential in a squid giant axon
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • Separation of charges across a membrane • Negative ions along the inside of the cell membrane • Positive ions along the outside of the cell membrane • Elsewhere the negative and positive ions are approximately evenly distributed
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • Channels allow ions to pass through the membrane • Selective • Either passive or active
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • Passive Channels • Always open • Ion specific • Responsible for resting potential (Nernst Equation)
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • Active Channels • Open or close • Ion specific • Responsible for action potential
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • Action Potential (V) • V Reaches threshold->Na+ channel open->inward flow of Na+->further depolarization->increases Na+ conductance->more Na+ current->driving V -> concludes with the closure of the Na+ channel • A similar, but slower change in K+ conductance drives V back to the resting potential.
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model V: the internal minus the external potential Electrical circuit model of the cell membrane
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • The principle ionic currents: • The sodium current (INa) • The potassium current (IK) • The leakage current (IL) gx: the membrane conductance for X VX: the membrane resting potential for X
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model • The current flow through a population of channels: • s: the proportion of open channels in a population • c: the I-V curve of a single channel
BME Model Examples Hodgkin – Huxley Model Closed (V) Open (1-s) s (V) (Steady state value) (The time constant)
