Changes in electrical gradients • • • • • Electrical disequilibrium Consequences of electrical disequilibrium Resting membrane potential Equilibrium potential Membrane depolarization and hyperpolarization Cell in the body are: • In chemical disequilibrium • In osmotic equilibrium • In electrical disequilibrium – few extra negative ions inside cells and their matching positive ions are outside Na+ Na+ ClClOrganic Anions K+ Organic anions K+ Distribution of main ions 3 Na+ Na+ Na+ ATPase ClClOrganic Anions K+ 2 K+ Organic anionsAnionic proteins K+ are trapped Inside the cell Electrical disequilibrium across the cell membrane membrane potential difference How does electrical charge separation occur? The cell membrane Is an insulator There are more positive charges outside and more negative charges inside Na+ Na+ ClClOrganic Anions K+ Organic anions K+ Electrochemical gradient is a combination of the electrical and chemical gradients Electrochemical gradient • Electrical gradients and chemical gradients across the cell membrane • Electrical force moves K+ into the cell (cell has more neg. charges) • Chemical gradient favors K+ to leave the cell (K+ concentration is low outside) • These forces reach a steady state Membrane Resting Potential • The voltage difference across the cell membrane when there is an electrochemical gradient at a steady state • There is a voltage difference between the inside and the outside (potential difference) The value for the resting membrane potential Membrane Potential • Vm is the membrane potential (millivolts) • Resting membrane potential for nerves and muscles is -40 mV to -90 mV • The resting membrane potential is determined by K+ K+ channels are open during the resting membrane potential. If K+ channels are open. Equilibrium Potential • The membrane potential when the channels for a particular ion are open is called the equilibrium potential for that particular ion. • At EK+ the rate of ions moving in due to the electrical gradient equals the rate of ions leaving because of the concentration gradient. • EK+ is close to the resting membrane potential Factors that are important for the equilibrium potential for an ion: • • • • Only channels for that ion are open The charge of the ion Concentration of the ion inside the cell Concentration of the ion outside the cell At the equilibrium potential for Na+ Artificial cell, Na+ is leaving because the inside became + after the inward Movement of Na+ Currents during resting membrane potential K+ outward current is much stronger than Na+ inward current. Lots of K+ channels are open, few Na+ channels are open at rest.
