Top explanations for Voltage Gated Channels
Neurons — Animal Physiology▶ 26:03This is called saltatory conductionThe voltage -gated channels are concentrated at these nodesWhy is jumping fasterExcitable Tissue: Nerve — Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology▶ 10:59And second, the stars of the show, which give the AP its real powerThe voltage -gated channelsThese are exquisitely sensitive to the electrical environmentNeurons: Cellular and Network Properties — Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach▶ 20:45They open when a specific molecule like a neurotransmitter binds to themAnd most crucial for long -distance communication are the voltage gated channels for sodium, potassium, and calciumThese channels respond directly and dramatically to changes in the membrane potential itself
