  6. Channels Allow Ions to Pass

  7. Protein Structure

  8. Ion Channel

  9. Potassium Channel

  10. Potassium Channel Pore

  11. Channels

  12. Ion Concentrations and Nernst Potentials

  13. Nernst Relation E = 61.54 mV log10 [ion] out/ [ion]in Lets call it 60 mV

  14. Ion Concentrations and Nernst Potentials

  15. Ion Transporters

  16. Goldman Equation Vm = 60 log10 Pk[Ko] + PNa[Nao] Pk[Kin] + PNa[Nain]

  17. Astrocytes Buffer Potassium

  18. Questions • What two functions do proteins in the neural membrane perform to establish and maintain the resting membrane potential? • ON which side of the membrane are sodium ions more abundant? • When the membrane is at the potassium equilibrium potential, in which direction (in or out) is there a net movement of potassium ions? • There is much greater concentration of potassium ions inside than outside the membrane. Why, then is the resting potential negative? • When the brain is deprived of oxygen, the mitochondria within neurons cease producing ATP. What effect would this have on the membrane potential? Why?

  19. Next Class • Chapter 4 The Action Potential
