Action Potentials, Graded Potentials, Reflex Arcs




If you're wondering what's taking up my time these days, it's Physiology. So much information to know. Currently we're really getting into the nitty gritty of the Reflex Arc, Action Potentials, Graded Potentials, Synapse Transmissions, etc. It's super fun! Actually very interesting to learn about chemical and electrical transmission between axons of neuron cell bodies and all that. Here's some pix of what I've been looking at.

If you're interested I could rattle on to you about how Sodium enters the cell body and depolorizes it and how Potassium leaves via Potassium Voltage Gated Channels. Aaahhhhh.....Physio.
