2. HOW DO SUBSTANCES GET INTO and OUT OF THE CELL? Before we start--- • Passive diffusion page– fix the Oxygen with one circle to two circles—O2 • Sodium page– Left side --add 4 more sodium (Na) to inside the cell • Active transport page– Left side- add one sodium (Na) to the inside

3. HOW DO SUBSTANCES GET INTO THE CELL? The cell membrane is the gate: Passive transport Simple diffusion Facilitated diffusion by a protein Active Transport

4. Simple diffusion

5. Facilitated Diffusion with the help of proteins

8. Diffusion--- Movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to lower concentration • Active transport---Use of energy (ATP) to transport a substance from low to high concentration

9. CYSTIC FIBROSISBy:  Dr. Barb GoodmanThe American Physiological Society, Education Office http://www.the-aps.org/education/lot/cell/cell-ebration.html • Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that is relatively common in the U.S.  Cystic fibrosis affects multiple parts of the body including the pancreas, the sweat glands, and the lungs.  • When someone has cystic fibrosis, they often have lots of lung problems.  The cause of their lung problems is directly related to basic problems with diffusion and osmosis in the large airways of the lungs.

10. People without cystic fibrosis have a small layer of salt water in the large airways of their lungs.  • This layer of salt water is under the mucus layer which lines the airways.  • The mucus layer in the airways helps to clear dust and other inhaled particles from the lungs. In people without cystic fibrosis, working cystic fibrosis proteins allow salt (chloride) to enter the mucus layer and water follows by osmosis.  The mucus layer is dilute and not very sticky.

11. In people with cystic fibrosis, non-working cystic fibrosis proteins mean no salt (chloride) enters the space and water doesn't either.  The mucus layer is concentrated and very sticky.

12. People with cystic fibrosis have lung problems because:  •     ~Proteins for diffusion of salt don't work. (less diffusion)    ~Less salt means less water in the airways. (less osmosis) •     ~ Less water in the airways means mucus layer is very sticky     ~Sticky mucus cannot be easily moved to clear particles from the lungs.     ~Sticky mucus traps bacteria and causes more lung             infections.

18. The Cells of the Nervous System Active transport is the protein mediated process by which useful chemicals are brought into the brain. Glucose, hormones, amino acids, and vitamins are brought into the brain via active transport.

20. The Cells of the Nervous System All neurons have the following major components: Dendrites. Cell body. Axon. Presynaptic terminals.

21. The Nerve Impulse The membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some chemicals to pass more freely than others. Sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride pass through channels in the membrane (what kind of diffusion?).

22. The resting potential of a neuron refers to the state of the neuron prior to the sending of a nerve impulse. The membrane of a neuron maintains an electrical gradient which is a difference in the electrical charge inside and outside of the cell. http://www.millersv.edu/~bio375/CELL/membrane/membrane.htm

23. At rest, the membrane maintains an electrical polarization or a difference in the electrical charge of two locations the inside of the membrane is slightly negative with respect to the outside. (approximately -70 millivolts)

24. When the membrane is at rest: • Sodium channels are closed. • Potassium channels are partially closed allowing the slow passage of sodium.

25. In living cells nerve impulses are started by receptor cells. Stimulus- food on a taste receptor Biologymad.com

27. The Nerve Impulse The sodium-potassium pump is a protein complex that continually pumps three sodium ions out of the cells while drawing two potassium ions into the cell. helps to maintain the electrical gradient.

28. Differential permeability of the neuron membrane to Na+ and K+ ions These ions can only cross the membrane via specific ion channel proteins that allow facilitated diffusion: sodium pump ion channel protein

30. The Nerve Impulse A nerve impulse is the electrical message that is transmitted down the axon of a neuron. The speed of nerve impulses ranges from approximately 1 m/s to 100 m/s.

31. The nerve impulse. When a nerve impulse is transmitted along a neurone awave of electrical activity passes along it (NB: it is NOT a flow of electrons so it is not an electrical current) This can be detected (e.g. by using oscilloscope with electrodes placed inside and outside the neurone) as a transient change in electrical charge on the membrane surface – this is called an ACTION POTENTIAL and is the basis of the nerve impulse.

32. The Nerve Impulse The resting potential remains stable until the neuron is stimulated.

33. The Nerve Impulse An action potential is a rapid depolarization of the neuron. Stimulation of the neuron past the threshold of excitation triggers a nerve impulse or action potential.

34. Action Potential • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbg5E9GCNVE

35. The Nerve Impulse After an action potential occurs, sodium channels are quickly closed. The neuron is returned to its resting state by the opening of potassium channels.

36. The Nerve Impulse Local anesthetic drugs block sodium channels and therefore prevent action potentials from occurring. Example: Novocain

37. Motor end plate Synapses between motor nerve and muscle

38. Neurones are connected together (normally via axons and dendrites) at synapses

40. This is not a physical junction, there is actually a small gap of approx 20 nm between the cells so there is no membrane continuity so nerve impulses cannot cross directly. synaptic vesicles synaptic bulb pre-synaptic membrane post-synaptic membrane

41. How nerve impulses are transmitted across a synapse by neurotransmitters

42. Transmission is mediated by chemicals called neurotransmitters Stored in vesiclesin the synaptic bulb Several different types of neurotransmitters Acetyl choline

44. The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been linked to a deficiency in the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine. • Subsequently, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) were introduced for the symptomatic treatment of AD.

47. How do drugs cause their effects on the brain and behavior? • Drugs interfere with neurotransmission. More specifically, drugs of abuse produce feelings of pleasure by altering neurotransmission by neurons in the reward system that release the neurotransmitter dopamine.

49. Methamphetamine alters dopamine neurotransmission in two ways. 1) enters the neuron by passing directly through nerve cell membranes. 2) carried to the nerve cell terminals by transporter molecules that normally carry dopamine or norepinephrine. 3) causes the release of neurotransmitter and also blocks the dopamine transporter from pumping dopamine back into the transmitting neuron..
