==============================BIO_ELECTRIC===================== bioelectric potential difference in potential between inside and outside cell; potential across the cell wall or membrane. cell an ionic conductor separated from outside by semipermeable cell membrane. Human cells 1 micron to 100 microns diameter, 1 millimeter to 1 meter length typical membrane thickness of 100 Angstrom units. internal resting potential within a cell approximately Ñ90 millivolts reference to outside changes to approximately +20 millivolts for short period during cell activity. HodgkinÑHuxley theory, interior cell primarily contains concentrations of sodium and potassium ions. These concentrations differ from the concentrations outside the cells uneven distribution of ionic concentration result in a potential difference If solutions unequal concent ions separated by semipermeable membrane This potential the gradient chemical gradient, is given by the Nernat relation: Potential (mV) = 61.6*Log( Conc one side membrane/Conc other side ) Nernst relation for uniÑunivalent ionic solutions, the simplifies to: Potential (mV) = 61.6*(U Ñ V)/( U + V) U = Mobility of negative ions(anions) through membrane V = Mobility of positive ions (cations) through membrane can be confirmed with a voltmeter This potential will run down as diffusion proceeds, unlike t a living cell. Potential (mV) for a 10:1 activity (concentration) ratio at 370C, relative mobilities of chloride and sodium ions are 65.4 and 43.6 = 61.6*(65.4 Ñ 43.6)/(65.4 + 43.6) = 12 mV Potential ionic conc difference between two solutions + 12mV - |~~~~~~M~~~~~~~~| | conc M dilute | | NaCl M NaCl | |______M________| -> Na+ Cl- mobilty is greater than Na+ => Cl- thus Cl- on left and Na+ on Right sodium and potassium Typical concentrations ions within a cell. internal external permeability Diffusion rel conc rel conc Sodium 1 10 lower into cell Na+ ionic current\equal Potassium 30 1 medium out of cell K+ ionic current/ voltage gnd -90mV relative external conc Na 01 K 1 _____________________ cell concentations | ___________________ | || relative internal ||<- Na+ ions diffuss in || conc Na 1 K 30 || ->K+ ions diffuse out ||___________________|| |_____________________|<= semiperameable membrane resistance =1/permeability Semipermeable mebrane resistance to ionic flow the iverse of permeability of membrane to that ion relative mobilities chloride and sodium ions are 65.4 and 43.6 inside polarized cell ionic current outside polarized cell -90mV | cell | outside is 90mV lower than inside | memb | large net | <-- | sodium ionic current produced by large Na+ gradient sodium gradient _|_/\ _|_ low permeability and low permeabilty across membrane | \/ | | | small net | --> | potassium ionic current balance by smaller K+ gradient potassium gradi _|_/\ _|_ med permeability and higer permeabilty across membrane | \/ | Sodium ionic current produced by large Na+ gradient and low permeabilty is balances by smaller K+ gradient and higher permeabity inside depolarized cell ionic current outside depolarized cell 20mV | cell | outside is 20mV higher than inside | memb | low net | <-- | sodium ionic current produced by small Na+ gradient sodium gradient _|_/\ _|_ high permeability and high permeabilty across membrane | \/ | | | large net | --> | potassium ionic current balance by large K+ gradient potassium gradi _|_/\ _|_ med permeability and medium permeabilty across membrane | \/ | R_d Dep electic model |___/\ ______o + | |380 \/ __/\____| |___/\ ______o/ \/ | Inside cell E_c |150k \/R_na Pol E_na| Outside cell | 62mV | |_/\ ________/\________| |1K \/ R_k +\/ E_k | | 91mV | |______||_______________| | || cell membrane | E_c Intraceluar potential with respect to cout side of the cell E_k Nernst potential due to potassium ionic differential across memebrane E_Na Nernst potential due to sodium ionic differential across memebrane R_k relative permeability of membrane to flow of potassium ions through it R_Na relative permeability of membrane to flow of sodium ions through it R_d relative permeability membrane to flow sodium ions when cell depolarized values RK, RN5 and RD are 1 kd, 150 kP and 0.35 k²Oi respectively.
