Conduction

... the postsynaptic neuron. Postsynaptic neuron sometimes binds the neurotransmitter at places other than the regular ionic channels causing impulse conduction. This is called indirect synaptic tranmissions. It is slower but lasts longer. Your second question is simple: Its not Medulla....It is Cerebral ...

Hi, Hi there, just wondering about the following...it the notes it says: If Vm is less negative than Ek, potassium ions flow out of the cell (+ve current by convention), while if Vm is more negative than Ek, then ions flow inward (negative current).. so just wondering when potassium ions flow out of...

... passively to the next node. Thus, an action potential propagates along a myelinated axon by jumping from node to node, a process called saltatory conduction. This type of conduction has two main advantages: action potentials travel faster, and metabolic energy is conserved because the active excitation ...

As cardiac nerve transmission flows through the pathway of SA Node, atrial syncytium, junctional fibers, AV Node, Bundle of His, Purkinje fibers, and finally, ventricular syncytium - at what point along this pathway does ventricular depolarization actually begin? My answer is that it does not begin ...
