Voltage gated channels What about these? Step 3 Step 4 Chemically gated channels Step 5 Step 6 1. Which graph represents Excitatory postsynaptic What is EPSP? potential(EPSP)? 2. Which one is inhibitory postsynaptic potential(IPSP)? ? What is IPSP? ? Answer Chemical gated Chemical gated ion channels: ion channels: Voltage-gated ion channels Voltage-gated ion channels Open when the appropriate neurotransmitter binds to the receptor Open and close in response to changes in membrane voltage 1 2 3 END SLIDE 4 back Action potential Cell body and dendrites Graded potential Axon hillock and axon back Graded potential Short distance Action potential Long distance back Action potential Graded potential back Graded potential Action potential Presentation by: Jessica Long Joselyn Coakley Marsia Martin Powerpoint by: Jessica Long With special thanks to: Human Anatomy and Physiology www.myaandp.com Dr. Hammoudi And our wonderful audience!!
