0:18 ACTION POTENTIAL: A brief reversal of electric polarity across the cell membrane. 0:44 RESTING MEMBRANE POTENCIAL RMP (neuron): -70 mV (cell is more negative in the inside.) 1:23 A neuron is typically stimulated at dendrites and the signals spread through the soma. 1:28 DEPOLARIZATION: Excitatory signals at dendrites open ligand-gated sodium channels and allow sodium to flow into the cell -> makes membrane voltage less negative. 1:49 Influx of sodium produce a current that travels towars the axon hillock. 1:49 If the summation of all input signals is excitatory and strong enough when it reaches the axon hillock -> action potencial is generated (travels to the nerve terminal). 2:08 Axon hillock: "trigger zone" (where action potential usually starts -> voltage-gated ion channels concentrated). 2:27 Voltage-gated ion channels open at some values of the membrane potential and close at others. 2:45 THRESHOLD: -55 mV -> Minimun required to open voltage-gated ion channels -> action potential generated. (Na+ channels open quickly / K+ channels open slowly) 3:07 As sodium rush into the cell, the inside becomes more positive (depolarization). 3:18 The increasing voltage in turn causes even more sodium channels to open (positive feedback) -> Rising phase of the action potential (polarity reversed). 3:37 As the action potential nears its peak, Na+ channels begin to close -> K+ channels are fully open. 3:47 K+ rush out of the cell -> voltage returns to its original resting value (falling phase of the AP). Na+ and K+ have switched places across membrane. 4:08 HIPERPOLARIZATION: Negative overshoot (K+ gates close slowly -> K+ continues to leave the cell a little longer). 4:15 RMP is restored thanks to diffusion and Na+/K+ pump. 4:34 REFRACTORY PERIOD: During and after shortly and AP is generated, it is impossible or very difficult to stimulate that part of the membrane to fire again. 4:40 ABSOLUTE REFRACTORY PERIOD: from the start of an AP to the resting membrane value. -> Na+ channels are open and then inactivated -> unable to respond to any new stimulation. 5:00 RELATIVE REFRACTORY PERIOD: Lasts until the end of hyperpolarization (K+ channels still open) -> difficult to membrane to depolarize. 5:38 El potencial de acción se propaga solo en una dirección (debido a las propiedades refractarias de los canales iónicos). 5:41 Solo la zona no activada del axón puede responder con un PA; la parte recién activada no responde hasta que el PA esté fuera de su alcance. 5:53 An action potential generated at the axon hillock usually travels down the axon and not back to the cell body.
One of the best explanations I could find. I was really confused about the pumps and refractory periods but now I understand what my text book is trying to explain.
As an engineer I couldn't find a satisfactory edplanation on depolarization; thanks to this video It now makes much more sense. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Absolutely relieving! Great explanation that was clear and unlike every other explanation, not too many extremely complex words were used in one sentence which is the giving up point for most people. Thank you
I have been struggling for weeks and in just a few minutes you have eased my understanding of this specific process. You have given me hope to pass my test. I 100% appreciate this awesome video. Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you!
Thank you for your comment. In fact many universities and colleges use our videos for lectures and on their online learning portal. You can certainly suggest to your teachers :)
Thanks! My notes were confusing. Couldn't figure out what was happening with K and when it was leaving the cell. 2 hours of reading and struggle solved in 6 minutes. Sheesh! Thanks again!
After watching lots of videos about action potential really when I exhausted that time I decided to watch this last video really this video helps me lot and ur explanation and video just amazing thanks !!!!
Zoology is often confusing as we cant do any experiments in human body but you people explained it in such a precise manner that words cant reach to appreciate it. I suscribed your channel One suggestion please pronounce certain words in such a manner so that Indians can also understand.
This video is really great..I was suffering from a problem with neuralgia, but this video solved it all with all the important information about it, and also in only six minutes..Thank you very much for this 🤍

remember the word
NOKIA

3 ➡ 2 ➡1
3 sodium out 2 pottasium in with 1 use of atp
Always remember the word 'INK',
I : Inside the Cell.
N : Negative Charge.
K : Potassium.

Thank you for this so so helpful and easy to remember 🧡
Ok ola hu uber
Yes bish
Literally saved our lives! Explained in minutes what was confusing us for hours. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Riddhi Patel u mean mentally
I agree

I just learned a whole week of lecture in 6 minutes. Thank you!
Yup....Mee 2
More like 5 mins of lecture ...
i half fall asleep and half contemplate jumping out the window during class lectures lol

this is undoubtedly the best explanation of the action potential!!
I shed a real tear watching this video... 10/10 excellent job

A video made years ago just saved me☺️☺️. Alila the best
this is the only video that clearly explains about the action potential. thank u so much💖

Anyone from yakeen 2.O samapti mam 🫡
I have a huge Anatomy final tomorrow and this video was just what I needed. Excellent job. Can't wait for your future videos.
why do you lean this in anatomy this is physıology
The most accurate video I've seen. I wish it talked about sodium's inactivation gate though.
Thank you, we will keep that in mind for future updates.
Michelle Kristen *Hmmm*
THANK YOU SO MUCH! i wish they'd just use these animations for lectures as well, would make our lives so much easier.
Thank you for your comment. In fact many universities and colleges use our videos for lectures and on their online learning portal. You can certainly suggest to your teachers :)
@@Alilamedicalmedia yes!
Our physiology teacher use and recommend us too to watch your videos
Thank you a lot for this animation .It help us to understand neuron work easily@@Alilamedicalmedia

Apko smjh nhi ata kya???yakeen may?
The best animated explanation ever👍🙏...This short video made my work lighter
This video is sent from heaven😂
Thank you for this amazing explanation
Most helpful video I have seen so far. Thank you!
Anyone doing medical physiology in 2024??🙂

An hour intense class covered in 5min with good animation! Good job..
The topic which took me two weeks to understand is now understanded in just a few minutes.
Thanks! My notes were confusing. Couldn't figure out what was happening with K and when it was leaving the cell. 2 hours of reading and struggle solved in 6 minutes. Sheesh! Thanks again!

You’re video was a life saver because I have my exam soon and this section always confused me.
Zoology is often confusing as we cant do any experiments in human body but you people explained it in such a precise manner that words cant reach to appreciate it. I suscribed your channel
One suggestion please pronounce certain words in such a manner so that Indians can also understand.
Thank you so much. This is the best video that I have found so far for my class.
Any yakeenian heeree
One of the best explaination i found .....
Clear all the concepts...thank you very much...🙏🙏🙏
This is what I call a good job!
wow best video on TH-cam till now 👍👍👍👍👍
Very well explained with supportive visual animation. Simplified and brilliant. Had to subscribe :-)
Thanks a hell lot of times! This will save me tomorrow
It's easy to understand due to animation..... thank you so much 👍👍👍
Thank you sooooooo much.you saved my life .please continue to makd videos like this.
Nice and useful videos for our class. Thanks!
How hyperpolarisation prevent neuron from another stimulus
I wish I would have watched this video two days ago it would have saved me a lot of headache! AMAZING explanation! Thank you so much :D!!!
Best lecture ever
Awesome work thank you 😃😃😃
Wonderfully explained thank you
It was so much helpful.... Easy to understand that.... Keep it up champion
Thanq...sooo much...u made it very clear to understand in just few mins...🤗🤗🤗✌️✌️

Very well explained
Excellent animation video
Very nice...perfect for federal student's
Excellent explanation, great work!
Many thanks!
