Propagation of Action Potential

... action potential in neurons with these 5 phases :({1)Resting Potential 2)Threshold 3)Rising Phase 4)Falling Phase 5)Recovery} The currents flowing inwards at a point on the axon during an action potential spread out along the axon, and depolarize the adjacent sections of its membrane. If sufficiently ...

Extracellular domain or intracellular domain?

I spent quite a while thinking how to determine which parts of a protein face outward from the plasma membrane and which parts face inwards? How can I go about determining the intracellular domain and extracellular domain of a new protein? Can anyone please help? Many thanks in advance!

two questions conduction and RMP

... this makes the cell more negative right thus ultimately reaching the equilibrium potential for potassium of about -97mV..and if ions are flowing inwards this is making the cell more postive..if so are the potassium ions moving against their concentration gradient to enter the cell? Have I got ...

The Physics of how the Myelin Sheath actually works.

... rises to +40 or 50 mV. The dielectric on either side of it would no longer have a reason to be polarized it was before (- on the outside, + facing inwards), and would reverse configuration(+ on the outside, - on the inside), and this reversal would propogate along the sheath until hits the next ...
