      At what point does the sodium and calcium leave and at what point does the potassium enter? This example model would lead to a swelling of the cells with Na and Ca ions and the cell would be depleted of K within a few cycles...

    Potassium reenters the cells by the Na/K pump which is ALWAYS working to keep the potassium levels nice and high in the cells.

    I studied biology in undergrad; I did well on the MCAT; I am a second year in med school.... and this was the best explanation of how action potentials work I've ever seen. I can't even begin to thank KhanA for their work.

    Thank you!!!!! I LOVE khan academy videos! My sister-in-law introduced them to me recently because I was getting rusty on a few things. They're so easy to understand in comparison to how I learned info in nursing school. Education is a big part of a nurse's career. With these videos, I feel I can educate my patients better.

  • @bhellar123
    @bhellar123 Před 10 lety +26

    0 stage (action potential) is because of Ca+ coming in(,not bc Na+ coming In as in cardiac myocyte)
    stage 1 and2 is not present in pacemaker cell because pacemaker do not have platue
    stage 3 is repolarization because K+ out leaving -ve inside
    stage 4 is activation of If Na+channel (because of repolarization by K+ out ward)
    now this Na+ wil depolarize to threshold (not action potential) to open Ca+ channel these Ca+ entry (or stage one again ) is action potentional
    (during whole phase ions are actively transporated to their orignal concentratioout and inside by Na K atpase pump and contratranprrt

    • @alimajed8843
      @alimajed8843 Před 9 lety +5

      first of all, what cause the action potential is ( sodium and calcium ) , first there is ( slow sodium channels ) that make the potential reaches " threshold" and after that a channels call ( sodium-calcium channels ) activated , thus causing action potential ( both the sodium and calcium ) ( source ; Guyton, Textbook of physiology chapter 10, 117)

    Funny Channels
    T-type channels
    L-type channels
    Early drift
    Late drift
    These pieces were shown in the video but not named.

    So, there is a difference between action potentials in pacemaker cells and action potentials in cardiac myocytes?? Or was it just an example to use different ions coming into or going out the cells?

    • @medicamedico4335
      @medicamedico4335 Před 7 lety +1

      Gülay Yalcin there's a difference. Pacemaker cells are special modified cardiac myocytes.

    What about the Bachmann's bundle and the internodal tracks? are they made up of pacemaker cells? If so, does that mean that those cells could fire spontaneous action potentials if the SA node, AV node and purkinje systems are not working? if they're not made out of pacemaker cells, then are they just made out of normal cardiac muscle cells?

    the 4, 0, 3 numbering system is used because in 'non pacemakercells' the 0 represents Depolarisation and the the 3 represents repolarisation and those two numbers represent the same events in 'pacemaker cells'. Thats why they chose those specific numbers.

  • @sandamaaljayasekara
    @sandamaaljayasekara Před 11 lety +1

    The action potentials in the SA and AV nodes are largely due to Ca++, with no contribution by Na+ influx
    (Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, Twenty-Third Edition
    Chapter 30 -Origin of the Heartbeat & the Electrical Activity of the Heart. Sub topic- Pacemaker potentials.)
    Please explain this

    • @bbmtge
      @bbmtge Před 2 měsíci +1

      Sodium ions cause the pacemaker current in cardiac cells, which causes the membrane potential to change from -60 mV to reach the threshold potential of -40 mV. This slow influx of sodium ions through the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN channel) generates the pacemaker potential. The slope of phase four determines heart rate and is different for pacemaker cells in different regions. For example, SA node pacemaker cells depolarize at a rate of 60 to 100 per minute, while the AV node at 40 to 60 per minute.

    • @mnopyzstrife188
      @mnopyzstrife188 Před 7 lety

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_action_potential#Phase_4
      I had the same question.
      Apparently, it's due to both. (Along with a decrease of Potassium exiting).
      "This pacemaker potential is predominantly due to increased inward current of sodium (Na+) through voltage-dependent channels, but also an increased inward calcium current and a slowly decreasing potassium outward current."
      I hope it helps :)

    Can someone explain to me why during phase 3, if K is leaving the cell how does the cell's mV become more negative. If K has a - charge than in my mind the cell would increase it's + charge. Thank you for anyone's help. Thank you for the video as well!

  • @yisseroff1
    @yisseroff1 Před 11 lety

    Thank you very much! You have a knack for explaining things well.
    My only comment would be on your use of the word "salt" synonymously with sodium. Chemically speaking salt would mean an anion and cation, and if you were using it to mean "table salt" it would include chloride as well, not just sodium.

  • @MarmiteFerret
    @MarmiteFerret Před 6 lety

    I commented on another video as well so apologies if there is an answer there. I am a bit confused about the voltage-gated channels. So at -40mV the Ca2+ channels open, and presumably remain open, until +10mV is achieved, at which point they shut and the cell tends towards a more negative charge again. What stops Ca2+ channels opening again the moment the cell's charge drops slightly below +10mV i.e. why do they stay shut until the next upwards rise to -40mV. Indeed, why do they not open again as the charge travels back down past -40mV?
    EDIT: I assume this relates chemically to the absolute refractory period but it is unclear to me what prevents the voltage gated channels from reopening.

  • @SCPVIDEOPRODUCTION
    @SCPVIDEOPRODUCTION Před 8 lety +16

    I don't understand how this can work. If Na is flowing into the cell and then Ca flows into the cell and K flows out of the cell. All the electrolytes need to go back. K needs to get back in the cell, Na and Ca needs to move back out of the cell. The switching back of all the electrolytes is not talked about. How can we just start over if all the electrolytes are not in the correct area?

    • @sakshijoshi7169
      @sakshijoshi7169 Před 8 lety +10

      Basically there are two kinds of K+ channels: rapid delayed rectifiers (IKr) and inwardly rectifying (IK1). IKr is the primary channel, so there's a net outward, positive current (making the inside of the cell more negative), and this is repolarization. IKr closes when the membrane potential is about -85 to -90 mV.
      BUT the IK1 keeps open throughout phase 4 (allowing K+ to return inside).
      The Na/Ca exchanger and Na/K pump also help to restore ion concentrations. So like, the Na/K pump is an ATPase that pumps both ions against their concentration gradient, which means it'll pump Na+ out & K+ in, thus returning everything to how it was!

    • @hilaltuncer6149

    • @AlejandroRamirez-uv9ir
      @AlejandroRamirez-uv9ir Před 6 lety +2

      The Na+ and K+ ions are "replaced" by Na/K ATP-ase which pumps 2 K+ ions into the cell for every 3 Na+ ions out of the cell and re-establishes these ion gradients. The Ca+ ions are also pumped out of the cell in a similar fashion. Bottom line- there are many ion channels and other membrane proteins at work. This is just a simplification of how "action potentials" work in the nodal cells.
