    hey, i'd like to amend what you said about the naming of the bipolar cells, its actually not "bipolar" because it's on or off, its actually referencing the structure of the cell (it has two poles). This differentiates it from a unipolar cell, which is like a rod with only a single pole, transmitting a signal in 1 direction.

  • @yaytheo3289
    @yaytheo3289 Před 9 lety +4

    Really nice explanation, but the rod does not hyperpolarise only due to the Na channels being blocked, but also due to K channels remaining open and pumping K outside the cell. Other than that, great! ;)

    the name "rhodopsin" is actually coming from the latin for "red" (rhodo-) not because it's in the rods. That's just a way to remember it.

  • @laured7593
    @laured7593 Před 8 lety +7

  • @MsTommyknocker
    @MsTommyknocker Před 9 lety +4

    I dont understand. Wouldnt the rod be releasing inhibitory neurotransmitters in its "on" state since the bipolar cell is off when the rod cell is on??

    • @jimmiller8875
      @jimmiller8875 Před 9 lety +1

      MsTommyknocker it could, but doesn't; vertebrate photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) release glutamate from end opposite to outer segment to bipolar cell, so in dark they are "on"; cGMP-regulated channels in outer segment essentially "leak" sodium and calcium into outer segment and keep the cell relatively "depolarized" in dark (so glutamate is released), closing these channels decreases "leak", makes the cell more "polarized" (membrane potential more negative) and glutamate release is decreased

    • @intj1434
      @intj1434 Před 6 lety +1

      ^What I learned is that, you know how the video mentions that there are 2 types of bipolar cells?
      On-bipolar cells have mGLuR6 receptors (G-protein coupled metabotropic receptors) on the terminal where they synapse with the photoreceptors.
      Off-bipolar cells have ionotropic receptors on the terminal.
      Photoreceptors always release glutamate as their neurotransmitter.
      mGluR6, when bound to glutamate, actually closes the cation channels on the On-bipolar cells, hyperpolarising it. So even if the photoreceptor is depolarised, On-bipolar cell coupled with it will be hyperpolarised.
      Ionotropic receptors on the other hand allows cation influx into off-bipolar cells, depolarising it.
      Which one of these happens depends on the amount of glutamate released by the photoreceptors (less if the rod is off, more if it's on) and what type of bipolar cell is coupled with it.

  • @debbee5898
    @debbee5898 Před 5 lety

    I've read that there are 'on-centre bipolar cells' and 'off-centre bipolar cells', correct?
    When light hits rods, the off-centre bipolar cell depolarizes and releases a neurotransmitter.
    when no light= rod on= off-centre bipolar cell depolarizes and releases neurotransmitters.
    My question is which neurotransmitters the bipolar cells release and if we need to know that on the MCAT.

  • @mahtabfotovat4908

    Hello, thank you for this amazing video, I have both a question and and a suggestion, Q: do you mean outer nuclear layer and inner plexiform layer by mentioning two types of bipolar neurons or actually there two distinct types of them? And my suggestion is it would be nice to have clarification when when have Rhodopsin kinase activity and its association with reduced activity of transducin also maybe the role of arrestin, thank you

    Great video. One thing I don't get- is phosphodiesterase another name for cGMP? Or are they different things?

    • @Vimarphil
      @Vimarphil Před 8 lety

      +Tova They're different : phosphodiesterase is activated by the alpha subunit of the rhodopsin, and then takes cGMP from intracellular milieu to turn it into GMP !
      I hope I helped and that there's no english mistakes !

    • @NLSoulja99
      @NLSoulja99 Před 8 lety

      cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) and PDEs (phosphodiesterases): PDEs are those enzymes that catalytically convert the so called "second messenger" cGMP to GMP (by breaking a phosphodiester bond). When cGMP levels are elevated, PDEs are then responsible for decreasing its levels back to normal, thereby being responsible for its regulation. It's also interesting to know that the actual sex drug Viagra (Sildenafil) is just an inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). This enhances the vasodilatory effects of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. Cyclic GMP has literally dozens of functions, apart from vision and erectile (dys)function, also is implicated in other cellular functions, like proliferation, apoptosis etc.
