Two major regulatory systems of the body: that ensure survival of the body:
The Nervous System: Neural CommunicationAccomplished by Nerve Cells( signals)
The Endocrine System: Hormonal Communication Accomplished by Hormones

Neural Communication• Nerve and muscle are excitable tissues
• Can undergo rapid changes in their membrane potentials.
• Can change their resting potentials into electrical signals– Electrical signals are critical to the function of the
nervous system and all muscles

Neural Communication• Electrical Signals are produced due to changes in ions
movement across the membrane.
• Two kinds of potential change( electrical signals)– Graded potentials
• Serve as short-distance signals
– Action potentials• Serve as long-distance signals

GRADED POTENTIAL• Graded Potential is local change in the membrane
potential. E.g. RMP changes from -70 mv to -60 mv (a 10mv
change).
• Graded Potential is due to Na+ entry at the small specialized region of plasma membrane.
• Graded Potential can be summated by giving stronger stimulus.

Current Flow During a Graded Potential
![Page 8: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Graded Potentials
• The Stronger a triggering event is, The larger the resultant graded Potential
• Graded Potential spread by passive Current flow.
• Graded potentials die over short distances
![Page 9: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Graded Potential• Occurs in small, specialized region of excitable cell
membranes • Magnitude of graded potential varies directly with
the magnitude of the triggering event
![Page 10: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GRADED POTENTIAL‘Important Points’
• It is localized.• It can be summated.• Longer the stimulus – longer the duration of graded
potential.• Graded Potential die down over short distance.• Example of Graded Potential: - Receptor Potential, Pace-maker Potential, end plate
potential
![Page 11: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Action Potentials• Brief, rapid, large (100mV) changes in membrane
potential during which potential actually reverses
• Involves only a small portion of the total excitable cell membrane
• Do not decrease in strength as they travel from their site of initiation throughout remainder of cell membrane
![Page 12: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Changes in Membrane Potential During an Action Potential
![Page 13: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ACTION POTENTIAL (cont)
• AP is referred as Spike potential because it appearance looks like spike.
• When excitable membrane produces AP, it is said it is Firing.
• Therefore Action potential, Spike, Firing all refer to same thing.

Channels & Local Potentials• The ionic basis of the action potential
membrane permeability ion channels
Voltage gated Na+ and K+ Channels

Action Potentials
The Na+/K+ pump gradually restores the concentration gradients disrupted by action potentials.
– Sodium is pumped into the ECF
– Potassium is pumped into the ICF
![Page 18: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Action Potentials• Additional characteristics
– As the action potential develops at one point in the plasma membrane, it regenerates an identical action potential at the next point in the membrane.
– Therefore, it travels along the plasma membrane undiminished.
![Page 19: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ACTION POTENTIAL (cont)
• Action Potential follows All or None Law. • It means excitable membrane either responds to a
stimulus with a maximal action potential or it does not respond with an action potential at all .
![Page 20: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Refractory period during AP
• Refractory period is that period ,during which no new action potential can be initiated.
• Refractory Period – Two Types: 1– Absolute Refractory period 2– Relative Refractory
![Page 21: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Refractory Period
Absolute Refractory Period• It is that period of action potential during which
no new action potential can be initiated even by strong stimulus.
Relative Refractory period • It is that period during which second action
potential can be produced by very strong stimulus.
![Page 22: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Refractory Period

The action potential (AP)An action potential is: A regenerating depolarization of membrane
potential that propagates along an excitable membrane.
• Action potentials:are all-or-none events
need to reach thresholdhave constant amplitude
do not summateare initiated by depolarizationinvolve changes in permeabilityrely on voltage-gated ion channels
![Page 24: GRADED POTENTIAL & ACTION POTENTIAL](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061321/56816614550346895dd95f1e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Comparison of Graded Potentials and Action Potentials
Graded Potential Action Potential1. Stimulus does not reach
threshold level.2. Stimulus causes local
change in membrane potential e.g. -70 to -60mv
3. It dies down over short distance.
4. Can be summated.5. Does not obey all or none
law.
1. Stimulus reaches threshold level therefore causes AP.
2. Stimulus causes depolarization to threshold level.
3. It is propagated.4. Can not be summated.5. Obeys all or none law.
