Myofilament sliding principle
The myofibrils of striated muscle are composed of thick and thin myofilaments parallel to their direction. The shortening and elongation of the muscle are caused by the thick and thin myofilaments sliding against each other within the sarcomere, and the thick and thin myofilaments themselves The length does not change

cause

Classification
Resting potential (RP)
The potential difference between the inner negative and outer positive that exists on both sides of the cell membrane in the resting state
Determination
polarization

hyperpolarization
The process or state of increasing resting potential
depolarization
The process or state of decreasing resting potential
reverse polarization
The potential within the membrane becomes positive and the polarity on both sides of the membrane is reversed.
repolarization
The process by which the cell membrane returns to its resting potential after depolarization
production mechanism
Ion concentration difference and equilibrium potential on both sides of the cell membrane
The formed transmembrane electric field has exactly the opposite effect on the movement of charged ions across the membrane than the concentration difference, and will prevent the ions from continuing to diffuse.
Electro-chemical driving force
The algebraic sum of the transmembrane electric field and the ion concentration difference, the two driving forces that affect the movement of charged ions
Potential difference driving force = concentration difference driving force → electro-chemical driving force is zero → net ion diffusion is zero
equilibrium potential
The potential difference across the membrane when the net diffusion of ions is zero
Relative permeability of cells to ions at rest
Among various ions, the higher the permeability of a certain ion, the closer the resting potential is to the equilibrium potential of the ion.
In the quiet state, the K permeability of the cell membrane is the highest, and the resting potential is closer to the K equilibrium potential.
Actual measured value of resting potential<K equilibrium potential
reason
The cell membrane also has a certain degree of permeability to K at rest
Sodium pump electrogenesis
The sodium pump maintains the concentration difference between Na and K on both sides of the cell membrane through active transport.
Every time 1 ATP is decomposed, 3 Na are pumped out and 2 K are pumped back → the negative value of the potential in the membrane increases
Factors affecting resting potential levels
Extracellular fluid K concentration
Extracellular K increases → K equilibrium potential decreases → Resting potential decreases
The relative permeability of the membrane to K and Na

Features
all or nothing phenomenon
The given stimulus must reach a certain intensity (threshold potential) → generate an action potential
Beyond this intensity, no matter how great the stimulus is, what determines the amplitude and speed of action potential depolarization is only the properties of the Na channel itself and the electrochemical driving force of sodium ions.

Em (membrane potential)-Ex (equilibrium potential)
Positive sign outward flow, negative sign inward flow
The larger the difference, the greater the electrochemical driving force on the ions.
Changes in cell membrane permeability during action potentials
Changes in sodium and potassium conductance (Gx)
Process: When the cell is effectively stimulated, the GNa of the cell membrane first increases → Na enters the cell driven by a larger electrochemical driving force, and the membrane depolarizes → the membrane depolarization reaches a certain level (threshold potential), and the depolarization and Positive feedback occurs between GNa, and the membrane potential rises sharply, forming an ascending branch of the action potential until it is close to the Na equilibrium potential → GNa decreases rapidly after depolarization reaches the peak, and GK gradually increases → K rapidly flows out under the strong outward driving force →The membrane rapidly repolarizes to form the descending branch of the action potential
The essence of membrane conductance changes
Opening and closing of ion channels in membranes
Functional state of ion channels
Sodium ions
Resting state (steady state)
The membrane potential level remains at the resting potential level when the channel is not yet open.
Activation door (m door) is fully closed
The deactivation door (h door) is close to opening but cannot conduct
Active state (transient)
A state in which voltage-gated sodium channels open immediately upon rapid depolarization of the membrane
Door m is open, door h is closed
Inactive state (steady state)
A state in which a channel no longer responds to depolarizing stimuli after being activated
The h gate is completely closed in a time-dependent manner, and the m gate is open but cannot conduct.
Only through membrane repolarization can voltage-gated sodium channels return to their resting state.

threshold stimulus

subliminal stimulation
It can also cause some sodium channels to open and cause slight depolarization, but this is quickly offset by the enhanced K outflow (potassium leak channel).
stimulus amount
intensity of stimulation
duration of stimulation
Stimulation intensity-time rate of change
threshold intensity
The minimum stimulation intensity that can produce action potentials
effective stimulation
Threshold or suprathreshold stimulation that causes cells to generate action potentials
Threshold potential (TP)
Only when certain stimuli cause the positive charge in the membrane to increase, that is, the negative potential decreases (depolarization) and rapidly decreases to a critical value, the sodium conductance of the cell membrane can be activated by positive feedback to form an action potential.
This membrane potential that triggers an action potential is called the threshold potential.
Factors Affecting Threshold Potential Levels
Distribution density and functional status of voltage-gated sodium channels in cell membranes
density
High sodium channel density → requires less membrane depolarization → low threshold potential level, close to resting potential = high excitability
functional status
resting, activation and deactivation
Extracellular calcium levels (stabilizer)
Increased extracellular Ca concentration → decreased membrane permeability to Na → increased threshold potential = decreased excitability
spread
Propagation of action potentials in the same cell
conduction

Features
Excitement spreads quickly
Two-way communication
Excitability and its changes
Excitability
The ability or characteristic of the body's tissues or cells to respond to stimuli
Metrics
The smaller the threshold, the higher the excitability
The larger the threshold, the lower the excitability
excited
When the body is stimulated, the functional activity changes from weak to strong or from relatively static to a more active reaction process
excitable cells
Sensitive to electrical stimulation = action potential can be used as a marker of excitement
nerve cells
muscle cells
gland cells
Changes in excitability after cell excitation
absolute refractory period
During the initial period of time after excitement occurs, no matter how strong the stimulus is, the cells cannot be excited again.
Features
The threshold is infinite and the excitability is zero.
reason
When excitement occurs, most sodium channels are already activated and there is no reactivation.
After stimulation, most sodium channels immediately enter an inactivated state and cannot be activated again by stimulation.
relative refractory period
After the absolute refractory period, the excitability of the cells gradually recovers, and excitation can occur after receiving stimulation again, but the stimulation intensity must be greater than the original threshold.
Features
A period in which excitability gradually returns from zero to near normal
Reason (lower excitability)
Although the inactivated voltage-gated sodium channels have begun to be resurrected, the number of reactivated channels is small (some are still in the process of reactivation)
Suprathreshold stimulation is therefore required to elicit action potentials
supernormal period
After the relative refractory period, some cells will experience a period of mildly increased excitability.
reason
Voltage-gated sodium channels have been basically resurrected, but the membrane potential has not yet completely returned to the resting potential and is closer to the threshold potential level
Only subthreshold stimulation can depolarize the membrane to reach the threshold potential and trigger excitement again.
low normal period
After the supernormal period, some cells show a slight decrease in excitability.
reason
Voltage-gated sodium channels are fully resurrected, but the membrane potential is in a slightly supercharged state, and the horizontal distance from the threshold potential increases
Suprathreshold stimulation is required to cause cells to become excited again

Characteristics of electrotonic potential
No ion channel activation and membrane conductance changes
Graded potential, the amplitude of electrotonic potential increases with the intensity of stimulation.
Attenuated conduction, which decreases as the propagation distance increases
Potentials can be fused
When the amplitude of the depolarizing electrotonic potential reaches a certain level, it can cause a small number of voltage-gated channels in the membrane to open, forming a local potential.
local potential
Under the action of neurotransmitters or the stimulation of electrotonic potential, some ion channels in the cell membrane may open, forming a mild depolarization or hyperpolarization reaction.
After this kind of cell is stimulated, the membrane potential change is formed by the participation of the active characteristics of the membrane, that is, the opening of some ion channels, and cannot propagate to long distances, which is called local potential.
