  1. Electrical Signals 2 BIOL 1407

  2. Propagation of AP in Unmyelinated Axon

  3. Saltatory Conduction

  4. Chemical Synapses • Junction between two neurons • Chemical communication • Neurotransmitters

  5. Receptors

  6. Norepinephrine Norepinephrine

  7. Postsynaptic Potentials • Changes in membrane potential of the postsynaptic membrane • Receptors are chemically-gated channels • Graded potential

  8. EPSPs • EPSP = Excitatory PostSynaptic Potential • Depolarization • Receptors are usually Na+ or Ca2+ channels

  9. IPSPs • IPSP = Inhibitory PostSynaptic Potential • Hyperpolarization • Receptors are usually K+ or Cl- channels

  10. Summation

  11. Comparative Nervous Systems

  12. Vertebrate Nervous System
