Conduction of a nerve impulse • The action potential moves quickly along a nerve fiber • Propagated by the electrical gradient • Figure 9-8 (p. 248)

Saltatory Conduction • Movement of action potential along myelinated fibers • Impulse moves from node of Ranvier to node of Ranvier • Moves much faster due to the fact that the impulse jumps over the myelinated areas • Can jump up to 3 mm sections • 130 m per second compared to 10 m per second for unmyelinated
All-none-response • If a stimulus causes an action potential it will be sent the length of the neuron at maximum speed • threshold stimulus • minimum stimulus needed to send an action potential • Summation • a series of subthreshold stimuli that eventually add up to a stimulus
Anatomy of a synapse • Presynaptic neuron • Synaptic end bulb • Synaptic vesicles • Contain neurotransmitters • Chemicals released to relay impulse • Postsynaptic neuron • Concave surface • Synaptic cleft • Space between the two neurons
Physiology of a synapse • Nerve impulse enters synaptic end bulb • Ca2+ ions enter bulb from outside • Synaptic vesicles fuse with cell membrane • Exocytosis of neurotransmitters • Chemicals diffuse between cells • Contact postsynaptic neuron (receptor protein) • Can excite neuron or inhibit neuron • Depends on what neurotransmitter is released • Neurotransmitter is immediately inactivated (ion channel) • By enzymes (ex. acetylcholinesterase)
Neurotransmitters • Acetylcholine (Ach) • neuromuscular junction • prominent in PNS • Dopamine • brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain. • Norepinephrine & Epinephrine • also called adrenaline • sympathetic branch of autonomic system
Neurotransmitters • Serotonin • found in brain • Melatonin • brain - used in sleep • Endorphins • inhibit the transfer of pain impulses • opiates bond to same receptors • morphine, heroin, codeine
Neurotransmitter actions • Inhibitory • hyperpolarizes the cell membrane • below resting potential • unable to conduct an action potential • Excitatory • depolarizes the cell membrane • action potential is sent to next neuron
