Document Summary
Made of microtubules and microfilaments, but very few neurofilaments. Dendrites can produce protein: resting membrane potential, neurons are often at -65 mv (voltage difference between inside and outside of cell, ion channels in the membrane. Ions flow in and out o: channels are ion specific, leak channels and gated channels, neurons (voltage, current, and conductance) Membrane potential (9/3/14: neuron doctrine: the concept that the neuron is the elementary functional unit of the brain and that neurons communicate with each other by contact, not continuity, neurons are composed of axons and dendrites, typical neurons. Energy required because it is going against the concentration gradient. In) at 37 degrees c: where ex is the voltage of membrane at equilibrium, nernst potential for an ion is the membrane voltage that cancels the diffusion force for that ion. The difference between the actual membrane potential and the nernst potential for an ion (vm - ex)
