00:10 All right. You guys let's get started. Hopefully we'll get done before

00:15 rain. I don't know if it's rain. It just looks like dark

00:18 out there. It is a little . That's gonna change will be hot

00:25 , Right? Um So just to off today, what we're going to

00:28 ? Just brief P. S. . On on selecting a topic for

00:32 paper that's coming up. Remember the for selecting a topic is on

00:36 Uh And then what we're gonna do we're going to uh kind of wrap

00:40 with the signaling molecules if we need because I remember I stopped someplace,

00:45 I might have just like blah blah blah blah blah blah at the

00:48 So, you may need to kind do a little bit of that.

00:50 what we're gonna do um is we're jump in and start dealing with membrane

00:55 and how action potentials work. I've got a hand up question.

01:01 . Like Well, so All so, that's a good question.

01:06 a fair question. So, on there are how many groups? I

01:10 it every year? So like roughly? Nine. There might not

01:15 all nine available at this point because the group fills up it disappears and

01:19 can't see it. Alright. But , that's how you select your

01:21 So, what I do is I through and I look to see that

01:25 has that and that's where your grade from for the like the point 05

01:30 or whatever it is that it's All right. So the key thing

01:33 that I want you to get is you know it used to be that

01:37 would allow students to actually change topics later in the semester. Like I

01:41 had a student change the topic before second paper was do you know I

01:45 ? It was just like dude you're yourself and they wanted to. So

01:49 know, I let them and they did miserable. So um So we

01:52 do that anymore instead. What we do is you should be thinking ahead

01:57 what you want to do. But is the key thing right? Here

02:00 something you're actually interested in. You if your first choice isn't available,

02:04 your second choice. If your second then your third, your fourth,

02:07 fifth. You work all the way the list. Don't just pick something

02:10 it sounds sexy. All right. mean because that can lead to a

02:15 of problems, right? If you're interested in what you're working on,

02:19 not gonna wanna work on. If don't want to work on it,

02:21 not gonna do it. If you do it, you get bad

02:23 you get bad grades, You fail of school, You fail at

02:25 you go live under a bridge. it's just it's like giving a mouse

02:29 cookie. Some of you guys know one. Alright. Alright.

02:34 so you know that's the idea and of it is if you start looking

02:37 something, you pick up, let's you pick something and you start reading

02:40 it and it's like uh I don't this. That's okay. Pick another

02:43 . Just tell me to drop you of the group that you're not

02:45 I'm not gonna be mad at you you pick two groups right now.

02:48 mean you should only pick one. if you change your mind, you

02:52 remove yourself. I have to remove . So just let me know and

02:54 just click the button and out you . All right? But make sure

02:57 already in another group before I click out of a group because you'd hate

03:00 lose your spot and find out the you're interested disappears and then you're

03:04 you get the picture. Alright. . Uh In regards to the

03:08 sources remember are due next friday. what do you have next Tuesday

03:14 Oh my goodness. It's a test . Do we have to have

03:18 Alright. Anyway, so you have that really the whole purpose here is

03:22 get you to start thinking about your as you picked your topic. You

03:26 have gone through a couple of papers starting to review through them. You're

03:30 to understand a little bit about what's on and each of these start serving

03:35 the foundation on what you're gonna build paper on All right. And if

03:39 never written a scientific paper before. you haven't taken genetics 33 or whatever

03:44 genetics lab, you have done 33 . You haven't learned how to write

03:47 . Let me just point out a of things real quick. There's what

03:50 refer to as good resources and what refer to as bad and just stupid

03:55 have here ugly. All right. you haven't seen the movie, you've

03:58 to go see the movie. Not the test. Wait till after the

04:01 . Alright. But anyway, good things. This is the scientific

04:04 . So, what we're looking at is the primary literature things where they

04:08 do the research. If someone tells that cigarette smoke causes cancer, how

04:12 you know that they're telling you the ? You have to look at.

04:18 I mean, even if it's a it's a review article, how do

04:20 know it's real because somebody interpreted So you don't know if they interpreted

04:26 a little later on next next I'm gonna show you some data that

04:30 been wrong for about oh, I know 80 years because someone misunderstood the

04:37 paper and it's been worked its way physiology forever. You know, and

04:42 get to reproduction. I'm gonna show another one. That's a that's a

04:45 . So part of this is looking the the original literature and interpreting and

04:49 do I understand And do I agree what's being interpreted or being said in

04:55 paper? So that's what a really . So the primary literature is what

04:59 going to use for your discussions. is where you get your data.

05:02 the fact that you're talking about the literature is probably where you're going to

05:07 that a little bit. Let me me explain. Alright look I understand

05:10 guys are juniors not writing an actual article. Right? But what you

05:15 with the secondary literature is it helps you to the primary literature. So

05:19 say you read a review article that you that smoking causes cancer and then

05:23 see the reference point you're like okay I think that's true. Then I

05:26 and look up the original paper and said yeah I can see here where

05:29 got that data. And so now can refer to the primary even though

05:33 started in the secondary you see how did that. That's perfectly legal.

05:39 anyway, so this stuff, the literature is where you start moving into

05:43 introduction or talking about the background So if you're making broad claims like

05:49 know just oh I don't know t are responsible for X, Y and

05:54 . Right. Well where did you that from? Well you probably got

05:57 from the secondary literature right? It's factory that's generally well known or generally

06:03 in the field of immunology. And that's where secondary literature is helpful.

06:07 that are bad. Don't use your even though this is a great

06:10 it's still about 10, 15 years of date. Um so there might

06:15 more new, newer, more nuanced . Wikipedia is actually really good for

06:20 you find definitions of things, Especially in the sciences. I use

06:24 all the time like, you right before the lecture on the

06:27 I have to look up single lipids single time because I always forget structurally

06:31 it looks like. So I have go look it up. So Wikipedia

06:33 great, you know, but it's a good resource for writing a paper

06:39 you've probably learned at some point. on the internet is usually lies and

06:44 of lies. So internet textbooks fall that same category. And then these

06:49 the absolutely useless stuff. If you across a blog, somebody's opinion,

06:54 that has a dot com at the of their page. Web page,

06:56 usually a company that's trying to make so you can trust them. And

07:01 of course, I'm just gonna slam magazines. If we have any journalism

07:06 here, I'm sorry. They are dregs of science stuff. I'm just

07:13 with that because they don't understand what writing about. So they interpret things

07:17 inappropriately or incorrectly. And so very you will see that the stuff they're

07:22 about is absolutely wrong. So just away from that stuff. This is

07:26 you want to spend most of your , if not all your time.

07:34 , you have a link to a . What's your library? Library dot

07:41 dot e D U right, You , you know pop man, you

07:46 know pub med. Right, so google pub med, N C B

07:50 dot nlm dot something dot gov I remember there's something in there that I'm

07:56 but those are your that's your two where you want to go really.

07:59 med is probably the number one and you've downloaded the Zoo Otero as I

08:04 , you should go download that that in for your your browser. It's

08:09 I found a source click. I a source click. I found a

08:12 click. Ok, put all my in the proper order like a

08:17 There you go. Easy peasy. squeezy. There we go.

08:25 Like I said, no tarot is you're gonna go like I cannot believe

08:28 got my entire college career without knowing Otero is. So where you find

08:33 information? Here you go. Ah it is. There's pub med.

08:36 I left at the NIH so there's med. Uh web of knowledge is

08:42 search engine is science search engine, scholars. Another one you can

08:46 I just don't find google scholar quite helpful but since you guys are the

08:49 generation and they already know everything You go ahead and use them

08:53 Um But the library, this is you can actually get access to

08:57 If you're on campus and you access library you can download directly is not

09:01 problem. You don't have to do . But if you're off campus,

09:03 think you usually have to log into university be a cougar net to get

09:07 . And that's just because they're they're your I. P. Your your

09:12 address to see where you are. So we have a lot of journals

09:16 you can access through that. And you're really really bored and want to

09:18 pay for park, you can go to the medical center and go use

09:21 text medical center. Library parking is expensive. All right. So

09:30 and everything at this point is now e journal there. It's all digital

09:33 when I started when I made this , you could still actually go down

09:36 and ask for the paper copy. Also if you don't know what you're

09:41 , if you've never done this guess what? Librarians are really really

09:44 at answering questions about how to use the materials at the library.

09:50 And also they're very sexy. So be afraid to ask them. So

09:53 this is what the female library, is what the male libraries look

09:56 If you don't believe me, go the library and find out if I'm

10:02 just saying. Alright. But anyway also you you know when you're in

10:06 group, I think the group discussion is still open if you guys want

10:09 talk to each other. I've never the groups to actually talk to each

10:12 . But if you're like that chatty that has questions and you want to

10:16 of talk to your group mates, can't the point here. That's not

10:19 . That's the idea here is just , hey man, I'm lost.

10:22 you help me? That might be a good way to actually get a

10:25 bit of help if they help Great. If not, sorry.

10:28 You can also talk to me. I can clarify stuff for you,

10:33 I'm not gonna do your work. for example, like I've looked like

10:36 can't find this. I'm like, have you used this search term,

10:38 search term, that search terms and forth. I can point you in

10:41 right direction. That sort of All right. So anyway, any

10:48 about the first two assignments. First easy, pick a topic. Next

10:52 . You can wait till after the and I think you just need a

10:55 of 10 to start off with. and they're not permanent. I mean

10:59 may go through your 10. You , you you look through it and

11:02 like you start writing and stuff, might realize that seven of them are

11:05 useless, thrown away. You the idea is is find your

11:08 but you can't start research a research without a little bit of research.

11:14 that's what this is. Is like you even made the attempt to go

11:17 something? That's that's what this All right. Yeah. After Thursday's

11:27 literally at 2:30, is that when got 30-30 is when when we get

11:32 . So that's what it posts. questions about the paper 1st? I'm

11:39 taunting you. I just I know know where your brains are. Test

11:43 . Must know everything. Alright. know I didn't go into a lot

11:47 detail here. Are there questions about slide before? I just skip over

11:50 . I mean we're just talking about differences. There's tropic hormones, tropic

11:55 , not tropic. Don't think umbrellas a little umbrella. Little Bella

11:59 Tropic hormone is a hormone that regulates else. We distinguish them from the

12:03 hormones because releasing hormones are up in hypothalamus, tropic hormones are also regulatory

12:09 . They're just called tropic because of . That's prolactin. Eventually you learn

12:14 the abbreviation on the test. I give you abbreviations. I will put

12:18 full name and the abbreviation. So don't have to think that hard.

12:23 at part. Um so what I to show here is the feedback

12:29 Um uh I think we we cover really, really quickly. Did we

12:34 those quickly that you want to go it again? Cause I can read

12:37 slide just as you can. so prolactin? Think milk production that's

12:42 than milk release. Which one is release? Oxytocin? That's the

12:48 Alright, so oxytocin from the posterior is milk production. Alright. FSH

12:55 LH follicle stimulating hormone. Don't think follicles, it's an ovarian follicle,

13:01 where it gets its name from. know you don't know what that

13:03 If you want to go to flip the back of the book, they'll

13:05 a picture of it. You'll still not understand entirely. That's okay.

13:09 lutin. Izing hormones which is really because what's a Luton and why am

13:13 ? Isan? Isan ng it, , lutin. Izing Luton Luton comes

13:17 lutein um which means yellowing and so a structure in the ovary after ovulation

13:25 forms, it's it's basically called corpus literally means yellow or mustard yellow

13:33 Right? I'm gonna say it but I'll just name things for what

13:36 do or for what they look So big yellow body and it's a

13:40 yellow body but the hormones that play role in these two things. That's

13:44 they get their names from. They the hormones of the gonads are not

13:48 to females. Males also use both hormones, they use them in different

13:52 but that's where they got their names is from what was going on in

13:55 ovary thyroid stimulating hormone. I have idea where that name comes from,

14:02 the thyroid question. No, Okay. Um Adrenal cortical tropic

14:07 It's just lots of syllables. Adrenal from adrenal cortex. Tropic regulates the

14:14 cortex. So this plays a role the creation of the hormones of the

14:18 cortex. Lastly, growth hormone or statin plays a role in metabolism and

14:25 . So these are actually regulating downstream called the Samata meetings, which we

14:30 get to later on in the But they that's where their tropic is

14:35 they're not acting to cause growth They activate other molecules that play a

14:39 in metabolism that lead to growth. is just a big chart to kind

14:43 break it down for you. Do need to memorize it, but if

14:47 get lost, it's like, um these are my hormones that I

14:51 to know um what regulates them. pretty straightforward there either releasing hormones or

14:57 the case of two of them, remember the two prolactin and growth

15:04 Sorry, that's okay. It's all . Did I test you today?

15:07 . So it's okay. Right. have both the gas and brake

15:11 All right, The rest of them just all gas pedals that you take

15:14 foot off to take your foot And I'm gonna show you this regulation

15:17 on the next slide. Alright, you can see it here, there's

15:20 hormone releasing hormone um down nope nope nope. It's not showing the

15:25 H. I. H. Um there's something called G. H.

15:28 . H. Which is growth hormone hormone which is the brake pedal.

15:34 , prolactin has kind of the same . This is what I wanted to

15:40 to. I know that I didn't it on Tuesday and looking at something

15:44 this, it can seem like this really, really complex, complex,

15:48 it's not all right. So in body there's simple feedback loops where you

15:53 some sort of sensor that cause the of a signaling molecule that acts on

15:57 target which causes something to happen. right. And then that's something that

16:01 , serves as a feedback directly on sensor. All right, That's a

16:06 simple model. But when we're talking the endocrine system and particularly about the

16:10 pituitary, we take this simple model we expanded outward. Alright, so

16:15 think of the three levels we have hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary and some

16:20 of target tissue. This case that happens to be the adrenal cortex.

16:25 , so what we're gonna do is hypothalamus releases a releasing hormone releasing hormone

16:29 on the anterior pituitary to release the hormone the tropic hormone acts on the

16:33 to release the hormone of interest. , so in our little model cortical

16:38 releasing hormone, adrenal cortex, adrenal tropic hormone and cortisol. Alright.

16:44 then does stuff. What do you know cortisol? Does anyone know

16:49 Oh yeah. Bring it right because what life is right now.

16:54 Just constant stress. Right? So the cortisol does the stuff. But

16:59 do I know when to stop releasing cortisol when the stress goes away?

17:03 write stress never goes away. It's there. It's when I have too

17:07 cortisol in the blood. Right? what cortisol does it acts back on

17:11 system on the tissue that is causing release of that tropic hormone and says

17:18 stop being released. There's plenty of so it stops the production of

17:22 C. Th or the release of . C. Th there's a nuance

17:26 . Sometimes it's released. Sometimes its . Sometimes it can be both.

17:30 right, so we don't need to about that. That's something you learn

17:32 endocrinology. Alright. And then what gonna do is if you down regulate

17:36 presence of this and the blood then can't activate the target tissue.

17:41 So it looks a lot like But what we also have is we

17:44 this long loop that goes even So this same cortisol which is acting

17:48 this level also acts at the highest and says to the hypothalamus, oh

17:52 the way just in case I want to stop releasing the releasing hormone if

17:57 have no releasing hormone I have nothing uh anterior pituitary. If nothing stimulating

18:03 anterior pituitary I can't make the C. T. H. In

18:07 case. Or that that tropic hormone I'm regulating at two different levels.

18:12 at a high level and the near . Right? And then this hormone

18:18 what it does. It also has short loop from the anterior pituitary.

18:21 feed back to the hypothalamus. So regulating another way. So as a

18:25 . Th goes up in this case also acting on crH so I'm regulating

18:29 a short loop just above me. . That kind of makes sense.

18:34 . So this is a very very thing. So you can imagine if

18:39 looking at gonadotropin releasing hormone, what we be regulating down here? Good

18:50 in L. H. Right. then you can imagine downstream FSH is

18:55 a release of a hormone. Let's of one that would be releasing,

19:01 this is not a it's not an one. I'll go to L.

19:04 . Because it be easier. LH a release in both males testosterone in

19:09 estrogen. So what would those two be doing? They'd be acting negatively

19:15 that way. Now I'm just gonna you now estrogen, the nuance there

19:19 like whack a doo. So when get there, trust me we'll get

19:22 the wacka do stuff because there is of control that are just crazy and

19:32 . Are we good with this feedback ? Yeah. So, so

19:39 So positive feedback would be raising So let's imagine a temperature,

19:45 So your your body temperature right now what? 37°? You remember we're scientists

19:52 speak in C. Okay, Alright. Actually the truth is it's

19:58 closer in 97 point something because over course of history it seems like we

20:04 have always had infection. And so body temperature is naturally thought of as

20:09 high. It's supposed to be about , 97. That was kind of

20:13 that came out a couple of years . So anyway, so if you're

20:17 97 point something, you're actually closer normal. Alright, so you begin

20:22 , you actually get an infection. positive feedback would be saying, I

20:26 to move in the direction. as my body temperature rises, I

20:29 my set point close, I mean and further away from my actual start

20:34 . So my temperature goes up. causes the loop to cause the temperature

20:38 go up, which caused the temperature go up, which cause the temperature

20:40 up and it just keeps going higher higher and higher. That would be

20:44 of positive feedback loop. It's kind like a ball or snowball being rolled

20:49 a hill, snowball gets bigger and and bigger. Something from the outside

20:52 the system has to come along and it off. All right. And

20:56 we'll see positive feedback loops primarily in female reproductive system for and also its

21:05 and delivery as well as in the cycle with regard to estrogen levels.

21:09 is why I said it's wack a because it's not that estrogen is

21:13 It's just the role it plays in is contrary to what you would think

21:19 would be. You think, when it goes up and these would

21:21 down now, it doesn't do all stuff. It actually has a positive

21:24 loop. But we don't need to about the day we get to move

21:27 to electricity. You guys taking physics ? I asked that question already about

21:33 optics right? Wasn't wasn't physics to circuits and electricity. And yeah,

21:39 people are nodding their heads rest just kind of looking like just get

21:42 with it. So just a there's a reason why biology is like

21:47 most broad in terms of all sciences everything underpins how how we learn

21:52 right? So we are or we within us ions which carry charge.

22:00 ? And so if you look at whole body, we have all these

22:03 positive charges and negative charges. The is is that we do not have

22:07 imbalance of charge. We have an equilibrium of charge. And so that

22:12 we're electrically neutral, How do we this? Touch somebody? See if

22:16 if you electrocute them, right? if you had charge then that charge

22:21 move down there electrical gradients. Now saying that dr wayne. If I

22:26 my feet around a little bit, can go up to somebody and shock

22:29 . No, no. What you've is you've built up charge on the

22:31 of your body that isn't being discharged that other person, which is a

22:35 of fun. I might might remind . All right now, your charges

22:40 course attract opposite charges, attract positive charges, attract each other. And

22:44 course, you know that the same repel each other. So, I'm

22:50 use a lot of examples here that hope are understandable. And I know

22:54 many of you have been locked up the last couple of years. So

22:57 some of these things may not land as well as I want them

23:00 All right, but you'll have to with me. I'm old now and

23:05 don't change my examples. Alright. like the old professor now, who

23:10 this is the way that was a restaurant. Okay. Alright,

23:16 Now, separating charges requires energy, you guys ever go to a high

23:20 dance? Have you ever watched a try to sep separate a couple of

23:26 dancing and he turns around and what they do? Okay, it's just

23:33 a constant battle. it takes Alright. So that's what's going on

23:37 the body. It takes energy to those things separate. So, if

23:41 look right here, this is kind like what your body is,

23:44 That little boundary, right? There the plasma membrane, right? And

23:49 you look throughout this whole thing, see that for every positive charge,

23:53 a negative charge, right? You all that. And over here for

23:57 positive charges, negative charge. And what we have on either side of

24:02 membrane are unmatched charges. Now, way I like to describe this,

24:07 many of you guys lived in Houston enough, You know, a little

24:09 about the city? All right. you know over in River Oaks?

24:13 are two high schools that are side side to each other. This is

24:16 true in a leaf. But I'm familiar with a leaf. So,

24:18 know, but we have two high that are literally side by side to

24:22 other. All right. So, have Lamar high school and right next

24:27 is ST john's high school. These fairly big schools. I mean like

24:31 a size. They might be five . I can't remember now. I

24:35 you to imagine for a moment uh there are couples in these schools.

24:41 you agree that there's probably couples in school? All right. Now,

24:44 gotta bear with me positive negative charges . All right. we have to

24:49 opposite couples. Okay, So you're gonna we're gonna go with that.

24:54 if that offends you, suck I'm sorry. I didn't mean to

24:59 it like that. I want you understand opposites. Alright. In terms

25:03 so in our high school we have and these couples like to hang out

25:08 each other, right? You know one I'm talking about? These high

25:10 couples? They're the they're the obnoxious , right? They're always holding hands

25:15 walking through the through the hallways. they got their hands in each other's

25:19 . You know what I'm talking And they're like, you know,

25:22 walk around, I love you. love you too. And they're just

25:24 all that stuff. It's just So you can imagine both schools have

25:28 , right? And then they have non couple people. I'm just gonna

25:33 them sad sex because they want to coupled, right? Because that's just

25:37 way you know, and they just of walk around and it's like there's

25:40 in this school for me and they kind of mope around and then I

25:44 you to imagine at these two high that are side by side to each

25:47 . There's a fence in between them they have an open campus for

25:50 And when I say open campus, don't mean everyone goes scattering off the

25:53 . I mean you can eat anywhere the campus. Okay, So at

25:58 they go off camp, they go into the onto the quads and into

26:02 fields and stuff like that. And can imagine what other cute couples

26:06 I love you. I love you . You want to put in my

26:08 butter sandwich, You know, just whole gross nastiness thing. Right?

26:13 then that little couple that that little sack walks out with their little bag

26:17 and they walk outside and they look there across the fence there's an opposite

26:28 they smile and they see that And what do they do? They

26:33 up to the fence and on this of the fence they're staring across and

26:37 the other side of the fence is opposite one staring across the fence.

26:42 so creepy. But it's kind of the It might be creepy.

26:49 but that's what your charges do. charges are attracted to each other,

26:55 they're being separated by the plasma Alright, So when we talk about

27:02 cells and these environments inside and outside cells having charge, it's not the

27:09 that has charge. It's the nearby to that plasma membrane where those opposite

27:16 attracted ions have have accumulated. And they're basically they're desperate. How

27:22 we get these charges together? What we need to do if this was

27:26 gate? And you had all these sitting there with their little sad lunches

27:30 at each other. How do we these poor souls together so that they

27:33 find joy and happiness. Open the . That's all you gotta do.

27:38 open up the gate and these things gonna start moving now, positive charges

27:41 move towards negative charges. So, see an influx of positive charges in

27:46 and then everything would balance out Right? Yeah. No, it's

27:52 So, the rule of thumb is charges always move to negative. Does

27:57 actually happen? No, I we're talking current as a moving

28:01 So, but that's the way we're the game. Okay. That's that's

28:05 I was taught it. That's the the books referred to it.

28:08 we're just That's what we're saying. right. So, it's a movement

28:12 positive charges towards negative charges. So, that's where our starting point

28:17 . All right. So, the potential is simply the separation of those

28:21 charges. So, when you hear word, membrane potential, it's saying

28:25 got these things that want to get , but they're being held apart by

28:28 plasma membrane. The membrane itself carries charge. It's just the ions on

28:33 side desperately wanted to get to each . They have potential energy. Hence

28:38 term membrane potential. Alright, The in charge is basically that little region

28:45 I showed you right over here. . So, when we're measuring

28:48 that's what we're looking at? We're at the difference between those two sides

28:51 that little area. All right. electrical chemical gradient is the effect of

28:57 the concentration and the electrical gradient. . And so we're gonna get into

29:01 a little bit more. But remember we said we have lots of sodium

29:04 the outside of the cell, very sodium on the inside of the

29:07 So, there's a chemical gradient, that's not the only eye on that

29:11 in the body. We're gonna see whole list of them here in just

29:13 second. So, we have to not only the chemical charge, but

29:18 electrical charge. Now, let me show you for Well, I'll show

29:22 what I do potassium I think I a pretty good example of here that

29:25 can work with to demonstrate this more . But basically these two gradients are

29:31 in opposite directions of each other. so there's going to find a balance

29:35 the two when movement occurs and there's be a point where movement of ions

29:39 because those two opposing gradients meet a point. All right now we refer

29:48 the membrane potential being at rest or we call the resting membrane potential.

29:53 we find there is no net movement ions, in other words, when

29:56 look at a cell and those ions basically found a steady state, that's

30:02 we're at our resting membrane potential. cells have a resting membrane potential.

30:07 cells can use their membrane potential for current. Alright, so,

30:17 right here is a big giant list most of the uh ions that are

30:21 kind of important in terms of membrane and resting membrane potentials. However,

30:26 this big giant list. If you know these uh these the first

30:30 you should know, right? This If you don't know that one,

30:33 bicarbonate. That's just one that you kind of pick up and learn and

30:38 , you know, get tested to body, Right? And then this

30:41 right here, depending on which book gonna use. You'll see an a

30:45 or P R minus that refers to proteins. And so, the cellular

30:49 for the most part are negatively Hence an ionic cellular protein. That's

30:55 the A or you can say pr matter which an ionic cellular proteins.

31:00 right. Of all these things. of them are really important. One

31:04 kind of important. All right. three things that are important are sodium

31:08 and the antibiotics, proteins. They the ones that are largely responsible for

31:14 this electrical potential that we're gonna be about. All right. So,

31:19 is kind of a nice little chart , don't memorize everything. But you'll

31:22 seeing why it's kind of important to at this chart. But what I

31:26 do is I want to talk about briefly this electrical and this chemical

31:30 Alright, focus on potassium first. , So, here is a um

31:40 an artificial environment. And what I do is I want to say

31:42 we got a cell inside the You can see we have lots of

31:45 , we have lots of these anti proteins outside lots of sodium and lots

31:49 chlorine. If you look up do you see any difference in charge

31:53 the inside or outside the outside? neutral inside? Electrically neutral inside the

32:00 then has the same number of positive charges. So everything here is electrically

32:04 . But if we take and put leak channel for potassium, potassium is

32:09 leak out. Now, what we've , you can already see even though

32:13 here we have electrical electrical neutrality. ? Electrical Yeah, I guess that's

32:19 . Electrical neutrality. We really have massive gradient. We have four potassium

32:25 . We have zero potassium ions. ? So, when I put that

32:27 channel, potassium is gonna want us go sprinting out of that cell as

32:31 as they can until when just think potassium only two and two.

32:36 That's fantastic. That's what we're looking . Two and two. Right?

32:39 every time a potassium leaves it takes it a charge. So, as

32:44 leaves, the inside of the cell more negative, the outside becomes

32:48 Right? And there's gonna be a when that next potassium potassium island,

32:52 goes outside goes alright, I'm going towards my equilibrium chemical but then it's

32:58 to see that negative charge and go you know, I'm kind of a

33:00 to that negative charge but I really this chemical charge over here or chemical

33:06 of equilibrium. No, no, want to be over here and so

33:08 going back and forth and now you've that point of equilibrium, right?

33:14 that point when the charge in the gradient cross. And we can calculate

33:20 out a couple of weeks ago or last week, a couple of days

33:25 we talked about the nurse equation. said here's the nurse equation. Don't

33:29 memorizing it. You remember me mentioning . Isn't that funny how you memorize

33:33 ? I tell you not to memorize least you remembered what it was.

33:37 don't actually. The nurse equation is based on concentrations to determine what the

33:46 constant is. For every eye on you gotta do is know the concentrations

33:50 its valence and you can determine at point at what charge the difference between

33:57 environment and that environment will you reach where that ion is sitting there going

34:02 and forth and can't decide which way go. All right, Where those

34:08 things have equal liberated. Now we have to do the math here,

34:15 goodness. There are some physiologists who make you do the math.

34:21 I saw that. I saw you know. Alright, so here

34:25 is again, you can kind of this is trying to show that sodium

34:30 the same thing, right? We a leak channel in we know

34:34 And what we can find is that point where the movement of sodium stops

34:39 when the inside of the cell becomes at 60 million volts for potassium,

34:44 happens to be about negative 90 million . So, it's basically when the

34:48 of the cell is negative 90 million , That's when that movement stops the

34:53 of sodium into the cell. Because have lots and lots of sodium on

34:56 outside of the cell stops when the cell becomes plus 60. That's what's

35:01 , okay, I've done enough and I'm everything is kind of imbalanced for

35:06 . So, each ion has its equilibrium potential. The thing is,

35:14 that what we just looked at um aren't the only things that are

35:19 remember. So, if if sodium into the cell, it's moving down

35:24 grade and we have a pump that's saying no, no, no,

35:27 , no, I want to take of you and I want to kick

35:29 back out and that same pump is saying no, no, I'm grabbing

35:32 of those potassium that leaked out and putting it back in. So there's

35:36 constant flow of sodium as it's trying get to that plus 60 and there's

35:42 constant flow of potassium out of the just trying to get the inside of

35:45 cell of -90. These two things battling each other. Plus we got

35:49 thing sitting there pumping, pumping, , pumping, saying no, you

35:52 back where you started. It's like to herd kittens or something.

35:57 This accounts for roughly 20% of the potential. sodium has a role.

36:05 has a role A. T. . S. Has a role.

36:11 . Like I said, we could it out nurse equation. We could

36:14 and do the math and figure it if you want to. You can

36:16 back and look up the equation and it yourself. How many of you

36:19 to actually do that math nerds? math nerds. All right. You

36:24 admit it if you want to. can't I'm not gonna stop you.

36:28 right. The thing is, is of our cells just have sodium or

36:32 have potassium. They have sodium potassium , calcium, phosphates, bicarbonate,

36:39 antibiotic cellular proteins. They have all these things. So, everything has

36:43 effect on that membrane potential. If have a leak channel something's moving the

36:50 thing that can't move in and out the cell cellular proteins because they're too

36:54 . So, there's always gonna be negative charge kind of on the inside

36:58 the cell. So, we have take everything into account. But

37:03 of all the things, only the potassium neonics, all your proteins have

37:07 biggest make the biggest deal. Now , I'm going to focus on numbers

37:10 a moment so you can see this the cell in terms of millie

37:14 So this is millie moller, 150 15. So tenfold difference to ask

37:20 150 versus five. So on the there's in terms of antique cellular proteins

37:28 , right? Because you don't have other side, hence named cellular

37:33 But the thing that makes the biggest in terms of effect has to do

37:37 permeability. Permeability simply is the number channels that are open and available for

37:44 for those particular ions. Now there's whole a whole equation that you can

37:52 and I don't think I even required to read over it in the textbook

37:55 you want to hear see the Hodgkins Cats, thank goodness. But basically

38:02 it's the nurse equation like, like steroids where they throw in permeability as

38:08 and it just says, look, has an effect. Now you already

38:13 this, I'm gonna I'm gonna prove you know this, you guys been

38:15 a sporting event. Alright, It's halftime, let's say it's a

38:20 game. It's halftime. Everyone gets and goes down to the bathroom

38:24 how long did it take you to through the line at the bathroom,

38:28 to the guys a couple of minutes out, go get yourself a

38:33 go get yourself a beer, get some nachos, go hang out with

38:36 couple of friends, go back to seats, go scream and yell for

38:39 little bit ladies. When you get to the game, 54 might not

38:45 it backs, might be at the quarter. You don't know right?

38:49 reason has to do with permeability now sitting away. What do you mean

38:53 ? What do you mean? All , I'm gonna give away some secrets

38:56 . I mean this is a physiology . We need to know how each

38:58 each other's works when we go into restroom in the men's restroom, you're

39:02 speaking, there's usually a trough. And usually what that means is that

39:07 halftime 80 men line up to these that can probably comfortably fit three

39:13 And what we do is we jam there and we look I forward and

39:16 do our business and we calmly step and then walk away and just pretend

39:21 this never happened. Right ladies, have stalls and so you might have

39:27 stalls in the restrooms. So if are 80 women waiting to get

39:31 you have to cycle eight whole cycles get all of you through again for

39:36 . We just go up and do business and get out of there.

39:39 the reason it takes so long happens be with has to do with

39:43 There is more opportunity for us to a restaurant than you do, if

39:47 makes sense. Okay, That's kind what's going on here with regard to

39:53 cell and the effect that these things . So permeability has an effect.

39:58 , the way to read this is permeability basically says, look for every

40:03 channel. So one sodium channel, are roughly 50 to 75 potassium

40:09 Right? So, that means the of potassium out of the cell is

40:14 faster than the flow of sodium into cell. Alright, So, if

40:19 is leaving quickly, what am I behind? What charges it? What

40:26 potassium positive? So, what am leaving behind? A negative charge.

40:30 right. And so even though I'm in positive charges, it means for

40:34 50 molecules potassium that leave one molecule sodium goes in to replace it.

40:39 the inside of the cell is becoming and more negative. Right, relatively

40:49 . Yeah, Sorry, that's And thank you for looking.

40:53 that's important. If the orange light off, we're all screwed.

40:56 So, permeability matters. It tells the effect. And so, you

41:02 , given the given the first equation equilibrium potentials and stuff, what we

41:06 then say is that the membrane of cell, the resting membrane of the

41:10 is mostly affected by which of those . Which one do you think of

41:16 three potassium? And so that means membrane potential is gonna most closely look

41:23 potassium. Now, I'm just pointing the numbers. So, it's not

41:26 here, the membrane Petrolia, it's there at the top of the membrane

41:30 or the equilibrium potential for potassium is 90. The equilibrium potential plus 60

41:35 um sodium, the membrane potential for neuron minus 70. All right.

41:42 see how it looks a lot closer , these aren't the only two chlorine

41:46 an effect as well, calcium can effect as well. It just depends

41:50 what legal channels and what ions happen be on the cell. And in

41:53 case of neuron chlorine is resting equilibrium that roughly -70. So basically,

41:59 almost there already. Yeah. So, just to be clear as

42:12 can hear him when we see this up here, am I ignoring everything

42:16 in the cell? Absolutely. when you're dealing with the nurse,

42:20 can see equilibrium equilibrium potential for potassium . So, when you're considering anything

42:26 , that's when you use that other that we're it's gonna be the voldemort

42:30 here. We're just gonna say the that should not be named C H

42:34 H G K equation. Alright. what that basically does, it allows

42:38 to figure out where that membrane So, you could in theory calculate

42:42 membrane potential if you happen to know the concentrations inside and outside the cells

42:47 each of those ions or as well their permeability. Alright. And this

42:52 what some physiologists do for fun. you imagine those types of parties?

42:57 right. So, this just kind summarizes everything that we said. All

43:01 . So, look, if if cell has a membrane potential of

43:06 which is what I told you, is -70, that is a

43:10 That is the result of all of different effects. But it's also not

43:17 to counterbalance. So, if I'm -70, I still haven't reached equilibrium

43:21 potassium. So potassium still wants to out of the cell, doesn't

43:25 It'll keep moving out of the cell it reaches -90. Alright. Same

43:30 . My cell here is at but the sodium is going to move

43:36 the cell until it reaches the inside plus 60, which it is nowhere

43:41 . So, it's gonna constantly move and so you constantly have these ions

43:46 across the membrane. And then what the pump doing? Go back to

43:51 I put you and it just keeps that. And so That -70 represents

43:57 in balance. Okay, Okay, big deal. Yeah. And then

44:10 . Okay. All right. if you have a whole bunch of

44:13 charges leaving All right, let's do this way. Maybe this maybe this

44:17 be a little bit clear cause I want to keep saying the same thing

44:19 and over again. You have a and let's say you have an equal

44:23 of men and women. All It's a perfect party. Never

44:27 Perfect parties. Equal number of men women. Half the women leave.

44:31 do you have now? Mostly I'm surprised you didn't say sausage

44:37 Alright. But yeah, mostly All right. So, what you

44:42 now is you have an imbalance. ? That's that's what we're saying.

44:45 even if you had a door where the women were leaving and one woman

44:48 coming back in to replace, you still end up with more men at

44:52 party. Right. And that's kind the same thing that's going on here

44:55 there are more opportunities for potassium to because there's more leak channels by number

45:00 to 50 or 50 to 1, means for every 50 or every sodium

45:05 comes in, 50 potassium are leaving that's why the inside is becoming more

45:09 more negative. Right? So, to be clear, because this could

45:13 a terminology thing is that negative doesn't mean negative charge. It could also

45:19 a lack of positive charge. So, just in this case,

45:23 happens to be a negative charge because have the cellular proteins. They're

45:27 But whenever you hear the movement of of sodium or sorry, movement of

45:31 charges, you're leaving behind negative you're no longer an equilibrium. Alright.

45:43 gotta make sure there's a lot of on this one. Oh, there's

45:46 evil? It's G H K. H G K. But same

45:49 I give them credit. Um So generated. So this is basically membrane

45:55 we already said is generated by those gradients, right? And their movement

46:00 on the relative permeability which we talked . And then any sort of changes

46:04 going to have some terminology to Alright, first is that if you

46:09 a positive change in in the membrane , we refer to that as a

46:12 polarization. All right. And then negative change would be a hyper

46:17 Now let me explain what this is this. You guys remember third grade

46:21 you started learning number lines remember number . Those are the best things

46:25 Because everyone could get those right. for my son who struggles. He

46:30 absolute values. Just fine. He can't figure out negative numbers. All

46:37 , Here I am. I'm on . If I'm at zero, I'm

46:42 we call neutral. Right? I no Charge one way or the

46:49 Right. If I move in the way, right facing you guys,

46:54 no longer neutral, I am Right? I'm positive. I'm polarized

47:00 ? I have polarized away from neutral neutrality. Come back over here to

47:06 . If I move in the negative , I have polarized again. Haven't

47:11 ? All right. So in our we have no cells that sit at

47:17 . Alright. They're all polar in way shape or form. Typically the

47:21 of cells are more negative. So when you look at a cell they're

47:25 over here in a polarized state. the negative. You know, in

47:29 sort of negative value. So if a neuron this would be minus

47:32 If I was a cardiac cell, might be minus 55 or something like

47:36 . Okay, So if I move zero, I have become more or

47:43 polarized. Less polarized. So if becoming less polarized, I am deep

47:50 . Right? And then if I back to my original polarized state,

47:53 have re polarized. And then if become more polarized, Hyper polarized now

48:01 that terminology over here, That's that's and stuff. But I mean it's

48:04 over here too. Right here I at zero Now I become positive and

48:07 polarized in the polaroid in a positive as I move towards zero, I'm

48:14 more or less polarized less. So become yes, I was like

48:23 but yes, you're right. And I returned back I am. And

48:27 if I go further away I am , now the only place where this

48:32 not work. Alright, is when talking about passing over zero.

48:38 And we just what we do is talk about like here I am in

48:41 deep I mean my I mean my state. I'm deep polarizing as I

48:45 toward zero. If I pass zero keep going I continue in that same

48:50 same movement. So we just continue refer to it as being D

48:54 And then I re polarize back to I'm going. Alright, So that's

48:58 only time. So when you see polarization, we talked about an action

49:01 potential goes over zero because it will gonna be going wait a second.

49:05 just told me these words and I'm yeah, yeah, yeah.

49:07 So, we're good with that. right. This is where we pause

49:20 some nervous system stuff before we jump face first into the action potential.

49:29 . So the nervous system in a very brief definition is simply a bunch

49:35 nerve cells. Just a bunch of . A couple billion. Right?

49:40 what they are. They're linked in sort of organized manner so that you

49:44 control different things in your body. nerve cells we call them neurons.

49:50 the ones that are responsible for producing signals along their length so that they

49:56 tell another cell what to do. right now. So that you can

50:01 this picture your pinky to make your move. There's a neuron that leaves

50:09 spinal cord and that neuron travels the length of your arm down to that

50:15 so that you can wiggle it. right. It's causing the release of

50:19 chemical at the end of that neuron the neuron and muscle. But the

50:24 signals traveling the length of the cell is as long as your arm

50:27 Okay. So the electrical signal This is not electrical signaling in the

50:31 that I'm telling an electrical I'm not the electoral signal from one cell to

50:35 next. It's electrical in the sense I'm using that distance to cover that

50:40 . Um with an electrical signal right the length of the cell. Now

50:46 cells will use gap junctions to allow signals to travel. That's primarily in

50:53 central nervous system if you have And then when we talk about the

50:56 we're gonna see cells that do that well. And smooth muscles can do

51:00 as well. But we're focused on nervous system right? So most of

51:04 signaling that we're gonna be dealing with gonna be chemically signaling. But to

51:08 to that chemical signal we're gonna use electrical impulse to trigger the chemical

51:14 Now, the nervous system isn't fully up of neurons. It also has

51:19 cells that we refer to as glial or neurons glia as you'll see it

51:23 it looks like neuro glia but we to sound hoity toity and fancy.

51:27 it's neuro glia. Alright. It's it's pronounced. They don't play a

51:32 directly in the transmission electrical impulses. are like all the support cells that

51:37 can possibly imagine now. This is favorite time of year because it's football

51:42 and I can live just watching football eating mexican food. Those two

51:47 That's all I did for the rest my life without gaining weight would be

51:52 , really awesome, right? But like to use football analogies, especially

51:56 . So if you don't like you better learn a little bit about

52:00 . Each side of a football team how many players? two teams.

52:07 teams. How many on the 11. 11 per side.

52:13 so if you like soccer, you use that as well. Alright.

52:16 the reason I pulled the point this to you is because the ratio of

52:22 to neuro glia Uruguay is 10-1 now is the most important player on the

52:30 ? Quarterback? Right, quarterback, , quarterback is a star quarterback is

52:36 one that everyone focuses on quarterback, , quarterback, quarterback. Unless you're

52:40 , in which case you don't want talk about your quarterback anymore.

52:45 If you don't know that story. left Auburn, you know, went

52:49 Oregon because he's gonna be a superstar and just Yeah, no,

52:56 no, no, no, we're talking about kickers today. Yeah,

53:01 , but well, the kicker can the game for you, but but

53:06 me, let me use my analogy alright, because it's, it's simplified

53:11 I'm gonna point out here that the is useless, if he has no

53:17 , quarterback is useless. If he no receivers to catch the quarterback can't

53:23 the ball, right, He needs have that line. And if he's

53:27 hand off that ball, he needs have someone blocking forum. So everything

53:31 makes the quarterback look fantastic with the hair, you know, and just

53:37 awesome is a function of all the players on the field. And if

53:42 ever played football, you've heard this over and over. There is no

53:47 in team, there's there's a but there's, but you have to

53:53 the letters around a lot. And that's the same thing. That's

53:57 here. So when you think of brain, yeah, you got important

54:02 that are doing stuff there. The , they're the sexy sells. But

54:06 every one of them there's 10 of making that happen. Okay. And

54:10 are the glial cells or the neuro . Now as humans. And as

54:20 , we like to make things I mean, your life may not

54:24 organized. Your room may not be , but there's something that you do

54:28 have that is incredibly organized, I don't know what it is,

54:33 we all have it. Okay. so with scientists, we do the

54:38 thing when you look at the nervous , nervous system is a very complex

54:42 , it's very, very difficult to . In fact, if you find

54:46 this stuff fun and interesting after we this. I highly recommend the neurobiology

54:51 or the neurophysiology class of doctors. teaches because it goes into a lot

54:55 depth than what we're gonna cover. right. But one of the things

54:59 scientists do like to do is we to take things that are complex,

55:02 them apart and drop things into All right now, I'm not saying

55:06 this is entirely the best way to stuff, but this is one of

55:09 ways that we organize things and that's we've done is we say look,

55:12 we look at the nervous system, has two parts, it has a

55:14 nervous system. That's the yellow in little cartoon up here, This is

55:18 brain and your spinal cord the Alright. So everything that's brain and

55:23 that spinal cord is central nervous that means everything else. Outside of

55:27 two things are the peripheral nervous Alright. So everything that's blue in

55:32 little picture is the peripheral nervous Alright, So what we're talking about

55:37 , when we say peripheral that's information goes in that delivers information to the

55:41 nervous system, the central nervous system information and then information leaves the central

55:46 system via the peripheral nervous system. it's the information out to the things

55:50 are responding to the things that you receiving, right? So information going

55:56 is referred to as the different division leaving is the different now outside of

56:04 people will say um different and I don't like doing that because in

56:08 different and different sound an awful lot . So different and different is how

56:13 do it here. But if you it otherwise, just remember I'm trying

56:16 avoid that horrible texas twang. so A. And E. A

56:21 is out. All right. And if you look at the different

56:26 we're asking where is that information Actually all of these can be kind

56:29 broken down. And is we have is referred to as the somatic and

56:32 is the autonomic? Typically when we're about the somatic nervous system, we're

56:36 about the motor neurons. So these the things that cause movement in the

56:40 . They innovate the skeletal muscles. we'll get to what the somatic parent

56:44 in just a moment. But there a somatic portion of the different system

56:48 as there is a visceral component. , so somatic deals with movement.

56:53 pretty easy. And that means everything when it comes to going systems going

56:58 are things that are autonomic things you control, you can't control how much

57:03 salivate you can't control how your smooth contract. This is especially true around

57:09 when you're in a class and you eaten, you've heard those noises

57:14 right? As your body is sitting dumping out tons and tons of enzymes

57:20 , I expect food you haven't I'm gonna let you know.

57:25 And the muscles are sitting there churning , there's nothing to turn here.

57:29 muscle. Alright, let's we're friends , right. We can talk about

57:32 stuff. How have you ever come that that crush? You know,

57:37 they actually come up and start talking you, You know, and you

57:41 want them to know and you just there going doing this sort of

57:47 And your son, Huh? Uh . Not hearing a word you're

57:51 Just can't agree. Right? I control that cardiac muscle. So this

57:58 involuntary nervous system and it breaks down the sympathetic and parasympathetic, which is

58:03 and flight. Fight or flight and and digest. We'll get to that

58:07 the next unit. All right. you can see what we've done is

58:09 taken this system and we've broken it into some categories that we can easily

58:15 . But what I want you to while we're breaking it down to

58:18 Everything is integrated. So, if focusing on the sympathetic, understand parasympathetic

58:22 going on at the same time. you're talking about the somatic system.

58:26 there's stuff that's going on in the all the time. Everything is on

58:30 the time. Everything is doing what needs to do. We're just kind

58:33 focusing and it's like looking at a engine running and pointing out a part

58:37 just saying what does this one thing ? Nothing works independent of the

58:41 Yeah. Yes. So typically what do is we just refer to it

58:50 part of the autonomic part of the . Does that mean that it only

58:55 that side note, there's gonna be that you receive, but we don't

58:59 say, oh that's just a matter that's a sympathetic uh sensory system.

59:05 it acts in that way you're receiving input and it's acting specifically on sympathetic

59:14 . Another question, No, we're gonna do that. It's it's fight

59:19 flight rest versus digest. So maintaining your regular uh regular homeostasis versus

59:28 happens under the conditions of emergency exercise excitement. We're not doing that

59:35 Unit two at the end of unit when we're really kind of trying to

59:39 through stuff. What's that? I'm smart. I got my I

59:45 my brought my phone up this Yeah, I stopped wearing watches like

59:49 years ago and it's hard now. . In terms of the neuron.

59:53 , what I wanna do is I to point out a couple structures to

59:55 have the cell body also called the carry on, also called the

59:59 It has so many names because neurobiologists they're special. And so they just

60:03 things, especially this is where all organelles are. This is the machinery

60:06 the cellular machinery is gonna be So everything that the cell does is

60:10 be made inside the cell body and that stuff is sent onward to the

60:14 places. The dendrites are the receiving of the cell. Does that mean

60:19 the only portion that receive information? , but it is the primary receiving

60:24 of the cell here. We're going produce grated signals that are going to

60:28 used to create triggering events that are to result in action potentials Axons

60:33 So if you look at this, is dendrites, the little tiny ones

60:36 the dendrites. The very long one the axon. The axon begins at

60:40 at the axon hillock contains voltage gated that are going to allow for the

60:45 of the action potential. Lastly, axon terminal, which is down here

60:50 the end um These terminals um have the end of them. Really called

60:55 dri a. This is where the is at the very very bottom.

60:58 is where you release the chemical So, the axons are gonna be

61:02 things that are long. So depending how far you need to travel,

61:05 it's gonna be a millimeter or whether gonna be uh several meters. Presuming

61:09 big and tall, uh they're gonna different lengths and that's what that electrical

61:14 is going to be using. ma'am. Yes. So, so

61:21 initial segment is considered the axon hillock this case, is that not what

61:25 say up here? That's yeah, gonna be uh the initial segment typically

61:30 referred to as that axon hillock. different authors are starting to use initial

61:36 now and again. It's this this away from this older language that is

61:42 to neurobiology that they're trying to to away from. But you can think

61:47 segment is where everything initiates. So how does the synapse work?

61:55 do I how do I release chemical if everything is made up here?

61:58 , I need to have some sort transport mechanism. And so we have

62:02 is referred to as axa plasma transport down, that's referred to as uh

62:09 , moving away as retrograde. And what I'm doing is I'm making all

62:13 neurotransmitter, all the signaling molecules up and then I'm transporting them via um

62:19 proteins down the lengths of these micro down to the end. So the

62:25 are are being carried, that's what should have on top of them and

62:28 being carried down to the end and once I release them, you

62:32 then they go on their way. you'll see a little bit later.

62:36 think in the next year you might it's it's on thursday that we also

62:40 stuff. And so anything that we , we're going to send back for

62:44 as well And there's fast and they're and which is kind of listed over

62:48 , but I want to kind of you not to memorize these, but

62:50 see what is fast is about 400 day. So how much is the

62:59 ? Right. And so a yard really a meter is 1000 of

63:05 So roughly about this far per Yeah. Uh huh. Axon

63:16 Axon hillock. Not the axon axon the long axon hillock. Is that

63:21 fat little part right here, we'll there. Yeah, I know.

63:27 also have the question with the pair carry on it. We didn't like

63:34 there are different types of neurons there based on shape, there, named

63:39 on the number of dendrites that they or extensions. So this right here

63:44 to show you some extensions. Uh you can see here, what you

63:48 is you just find the cell you find a number of things coming

63:51 it and you just count them. that would be one. That would

63:55 too That's more than two. So . And really this is pseudo uni

64:02 we're not gonna go into why right , it's uni by multi we don't

64:07 to actually count up the actual numbers than to just call it multipolar.

64:12 , so that'd be the number of here, this is just showing you

64:17 uh different types in terms of the projections. So you can see here

64:23 two there there's two there there's really is one but you count up all

64:30 dendrites in this particular case of the pattern. So this is referred to

64:34 a pyramid cell because if you look it kind of creates this pyramid

64:37 satellites or Stella Stella is Stella Thank you. So, star like

64:47 . The truth is here is that is gonna be less important for

64:51 We typically focus over here. This is a weird one. We see

64:57 in the in the central nervous system not any one of these in particular

65:02 as an ax on, it's basically of an intermediate cell that can work

65:06 between multiple cells within a larger So you can send in multiple

65:12 Whereas whenever you have an ax on sending in one direction. Alright,

65:16 you receive on this side send down way you receive on this side sitting

65:20 that way, presuming they're all pointing same way, receive here. Send

65:23 that direction here, I can receive send in any direction. I just

65:30 this up because I had nothing better show you. And you know,

65:33 like a big wall of text can confusing, but really what it is

65:37 that this just points out the we can we can name them based

65:40 based on their modality. So, know, in terms of are they

65:44 in or they're going out of the system. So as a parent fiber

65:47 an different fiber. Is it a fiber or is it a sensory

65:52 Right. So if it's sensory it's information in its motor, I'm sending

65:57 away from the central nervous system. ? Is it visceral or is it

66:01 ? Visceral? Whenever you see the visceral, think guts. The organs

66:05 my body are my viscera. So it getting information from those organs?

66:11 is it getting information from the surface my body or from my muscles of

66:16 body? So visceral um neurons are my guts. Somatic are from my

66:23 and my skin. So when someone me, is that visceral or is

66:26 somatic? Somatic? Right. So I have stomach ache, that's visceral

66:33 somatic visceral? Okay. And then , the third category, is is

66:41 a special neurons or is a general ? Special neurons are the it's it's

66:46 on embryonic origin but you can think special as my special senses. What

66:51 my special senses? Yeah. So of the monkeys, You know the

67:04 . Yeah, it's a good way remember it. Yeah. You don't

67:07 don't know the monkeys. Yeah, it's it's it's it's basically sight smell

67:14 right? Although with monkeys it's speak ? But its taste right? And

67:20 uh we also have hearing and then hearing we also have balance. So

67:26 audition and equilibrium. All right. if you look at that you can

67:31 think category one. Category 2. three. That's uh two to the

67:36 power or something. I can't I came up with 23 total.

67:40 but one of these we don't use semantically just they don't exist. So

67:45 don't use that term. And I'm not gonna ask you the combinations

67:49 when you start looking like okay I here I've got a somatic different.

67:53 have a visceral different you know that's to my guts and telling my stomach

67:58 contract from there's food there. That of thing. Man. I am

68:03 slow today. Even worse than Alright, glial cells. Remember we

68:08 they don't conduct nerve impulses. They of serve as the glue. Hence

68:12 name the glue that holds the brain . There's a whole bunch of different

68:16 . They maintain the extra cellular So uh this is kind of the

68:23 ones. So astrocytes. Where are ? Oh there, what do you

68:28 they call Master? Sites discovered in . Right. No, they're shaped

68:34 stars. Astra sites micro glia, micro micro glia. Why? Tiny

68:42 glial cells. Alright. Allah go sites. Olivo means many. It's

68:48 good guess right. It means Den dro are branches so many branched

68:56 and that's what you have is you I'll get into site, you can

68:59 all the branches, right? It's myelin aging cell and then the pendulum

69:02 sell. I have no idea where one comes from. Schwann cells named

69:05 the guy that discovered them? Satellite because they're around other uh nervous

69:11 These two are in the peripheral, other four in the central. So

69:15 astro sites uh they play a role physical and chemical support. So if

69:19 can imagine a neuron you can imagine in between creating the scaffolding, holding

69:24 around it and kind of creating the in which these cells are going to

69:28 found. They play a role in the blood brain barrier is not the

69:31 business bureau. Uh They act as scar tissue. So you can kind

69:36 see in this picture here they deliver . So here I'm picking up a

69:40 and I'm delivering, it has lactate the neuron which the cell uses as

69:45 . Um here you can see two . This is supposed to be the

69:49 site. Here's the neurotransmitter. I've up the neurotransmitter. I'm recycling the

69:54 and delivering it to the neuron. it has multiple roles in maintaining that

70:00 perfect environment in which that neuron uh . The myelin producing cells are both

70:08 good and the Schwann cell. They're in how they look and behave in

70:13 different systems. So all good dinner , here's your cell. They have

70:17 extensions, they reach out to multiple and wrap around their axons with these

70:23 sheaths, Schwann cells you have multiple cells. They each wraparound individually doing

70:28 job. And Myelin serves kind of an insulation for electrical signaling, which

70:33 talk about a little bit later. don't want to get lost in it

70:35 now. Microbes have multiple roles. one we're going to focus on right

70:40 is immune defense systems. They're kind like this this group of cells that

70:45 really kind of discovering more and more . And so but this one is

70:48 of like the the big one. they kind of like macrophages, they

70:51 of hang around and do nothing until need to do something. Right,

70:56 , I like this resting and then they're all 10 minutes. This is

71:04 . All right. We're gonna get far into this. This is up

71:08 . Just to remind me to remind that ions can pass the membrane cell

71:13 right? Where they stuck outside looking inside, looking out. Right.

71:24 all I gotta do is open the . Okay. That's what we're trying

71:28 do. First off. Action Action potentials are simply very large,

71:35 brief, very rapid changes of membrane . All right. We're in the

71:42 potential completely reverses itself. All So here we are at rest at

71:47 . We completely reverse the inside of cell becomes positively charged and the returns

71:52 down to rest again. All when this happens, what you're doing

71:59 you're only doing a very small portion the membrane. And what's what you're

72:05 at is this is a graph over . So, you can see,

72:07 , it doesn't show you this is over here, that's membrane potential.

72:10 so, what I want you to for a moment is that you're watching

72:13 pass and so you're watching them potential up and going down now. The

72:18 way I like to demonstrate this, is why I'm sad that there's only

72:20 minutes in because we'll have to come and do this again on Thursday.

72:24 I want you to imagine a Have you ever done the wave?

72:28 ? Alright, we're gonna do is going to propagate a wave. We're

72:31 start. And where does the wave that way, Let's see who's too

72:36 for school. I'll call you out . You don't have to actually stand

72:39 . But let's do it again. at that. You just did one

72:43 those. Alright, I want you all watch him while we do the

72:49 ready. Everyone watch him while we the wave. We're gonna propagate over

72:53 . We're gonna go that way. go. Alright. Did you see

72:57 happened over time? Where did his start? Bottom? And where do

73:01 go to the top and then they back down again. So, over

73:07 , our hand was down here at bottom, then it went up and

73:11 it came back down again and then kept going. Right. So really

73:15 we're looking at is we have a stuck in the cell membrane and specific

73:19 watching the membrane potential change. All . And when we say propagation,

73:24 did it do? It went from side of the room to the other

73:27 notice that that wave when it it didn't go higher. Didn't go

73:31 . It stayed the same the entire . Grant we're all different sizes.

73:36 you're you're all with me? sir. Small court. Mhm.

73:44 . So he's like just that little little point where we're measuring is that's

73:48 our small portion. Even though the potential went the entire length of the

73:53 , what we're doing there is we're at that one potential at that

73:57 we're gonna do it the way one time. And when I say

74:00 whatever, wherever your hands are, them. They're ready. Stop.

74:06 . What are your hands doing? what are they doing? Are they

74:11 coming down? What are your You're at the peak? What are

74:13 hands doing peak. What are your doing over here? They're going

74:17 All right. So, do you where you are? You can put

74:20 hands you can see your at different in time. And what we're doing

74:25 we're just looking at the whole If we're looking just at you

74:29 Right. Right. So, this simply a graph showing you what's happening

74:35 time. When you look at That's how you should view that

74:41 Man, it just scares me to these analogies now because you guys are

74:45 mean not you particularly but your generation very sensitive and action potentials like

74:52 I was gonna see if I can him spit up his water. Either

74:58 are or you aren't. There is in between. There is no gray

75:02 actually had a person try to argue me in class once I did

75:05 I'm like, no, no, , no, no. We're not

75:07 that today, but it is so virginity. There is a strict

75:11 of what that means. Right? is no no gray area. You

75:16 or you aren't. And an action is the same way. Either you

75:20 an action potential or you don't. an all or none response. There

75:24 no in between. There's no I'm of an action potential. All

75:30 It is You are an action potential you aren't. Okay, so,

75:36 the key thing. Greater potential. the other hand, there a little

75:38 easier. Alright, great potentials have magnitudes. They have varying lengths of

75:44 . They have varying durations all dependent the amount of stimulus. Alright,

75:49 , you can think of it like if I have a very small

75:51 I'm gonna have a very small graded . All right. If I have

75:55 strong stimulus, I'm gonna get a greater potential. If I have a

76:00 but small stimulus, I'm gonna get . But very small potential.

76:04 So, there's a direct correlation between or duration and magnitude, which is

76:11 . Alright, That's what these little graphs are trying to show you.

76:16 , whenever you see this, this this is a state where you're

76:20 And then all these things down these different colors are state that are

76:23 and saying, look, I'm off then I have this week things.

76:26 , here's my membrane potential. I a stronger one. Here's a

76:30 And you can see here, I've two different types. These are negative

76:35 these are positive. So these are polarizing. These are deep polarizing.

76:40 greater potentials can go in either Which way did the action potentials

76:45 They're all d polarizing. Alright, , the stronger the triggering event,

76:53 more the channels that we're gonna All right, So, basically we're

76:57 channels were allowing ions to pass through change in membrane potential reflects a passage

77:02 ions into the cell or out of cell. And so the longer or

77:07 stronger the trigger, the bigger the as a result of opening more channels

77:12 opening channels longer. That's the duration graded potentials you saw when I propagated

77:20 action potential potential went all the way the room. So once I propagate

77:24 action potential it will go right and keep going until there's nothing to get

77:29 and we're gonna look at it to it on on thursday with greater

77:34 It's like dropping a rock into a pond. Alright. It goes in

77:39 direction from the site of stimulation. that's what you're seeing here is going

77:43 for everything. And then as that moves away from that site, remember

77:47 like open the gate so that person sad sack sitting there looking at across

77:51 way at its opposite charge goes in finds its couple right it matches

77:58 So that means the next one has travel further. And so what you're

78:02 though is you're not getting the same in terms of the wave, The

78:05 gets weaker and weaker and weaker and as more ions are meeting their

78:10 So that little red line up there tells you how much free sodium you

78:14 . So as you're going further and away there's less and less free

78:18 less free sodium. That means the of the greater potential gets smaller and

78:23 and smaller. Which is why I to use the pond if I take

78:26 little tiny pebble and drop it in pond I get a ripple that starts

78:29 fairly big and then moves further and away from the side of origin and

78:33 dies off. The difference is it to be resistance when I'm talking about

78:37 pond here? It's because I'm getting on matching up with their pairs.

78:43 this is a terrible way to signal it's very limited in the distance that

78:46 can go. But we use these create action potentials. It's the greatest

78:52 that results in the action potential. right. So we'll start there or

79:03 this slide when we come back and gonna have to really talk fast and

79:08 not gonna be it's gonna be like auction house. Huh. Huh.

79:15 . So we have one more class , yeah, we have one more

79:21 . Yeah, it's easy mode. goal kickers are actually one of the

79:26 important people because you can't always get touchdown with people like me that hit

79:31 goals When I was in high If it was 35 to 45 yards

79:34 , I was automatic right 50 yards . I'm like 75% out there that

79:41 gonna get to like and I know , but in terms of, I

79:44 , there's there's a reason it's called teams. It's not regular play.

79:49 technically quarterback could be on the field the entire time. Right? Well

79:55 the exception of the kickoff team or punt return. As long as it's

80:00 quarterback could be there. What what , what can the quarterback on a

80:04 unless he's older? He's the right? And that's that's that's fairly

80:09 the case, right? A lot times, like when I hit a

80:12 winning field
