Study Material NEUROSCIENCE Third Edition – Dale Purves Chapter 2 pages 34-43

Aims for this Lecture Know the values of the main ion concentration gradients. Understand the interaction between diffusion gradients and electrical fields. Know and understand the Nernst equation. Understand the effect of multiple permeabilities (Goldman equation). Know the typical resting membrane potential.

Recapitulation L1 Diffusion is fast over short distances (organelles to small cells), but very slow over long distances (many cells to organs). Multicellular organisms need to communicate and need to do so quickly and efficiently. Electrical signals across cell membranes are the main signals in nervous systems.

Biophysical Basis … why did the ion cross the membrane? All the phenomena that we will be talking about in the next two hours are manifestations of ion flux across membranes. Which brings us to the central question…

A simple calculation.. Spherical cell 25 μm radius Specific capacitance 1 μF/cm 2 Number of ions, needed to charge this capacitor to 100 mV Total number of ions in a saline solution of 300 mM Fraction of ions needing to cross the membrane Avogadro‘s number ^23 Elementary charge ^-19 C

Electrostatic Force 2 individuals (weighing 72 kg – made up of water for simplicity’s sake). At a distance of 10 m from each other Of all their charged particles (protons electrons..) they decide to exchange 0.5% such that person 1 is positively and person 2 negatively charged. What force do these two persons exert on each other.

Result Coulomb’s law Force = 5.35*10 25 N As a comparison: The gravitational attraction between moon and earth is around 1.98*10 20 N If the two individuals were as far apart from each other as earth and moon, the force would amount to about 3.6*10 10 N

Voltage? How does 70 mV over 8 nm compare to the breakdown voltage in air? Equivalent to 87.5 kV per cm!
