Document Summary

Two types of ion channels: leak (nongated) ion channels always open (sodium potassium pump is used to stop sodium and potassium from reaching equilibrium on the inside and outside of the cell) cl moves out of the cell through these because of the electrical gradient they are attracted to the positive charge outside of the cell, leak channels are specific to certain ions (only allow the movement of one type of ion each shape and charge). Ions move through leak channels due to concentration gradients and electrical gradients: gated ion channels open and close because of stimulus, ligand gated (open in response to a molecule binding to it stimulus) typically found on the cell bodies of our neurons, allow for local potentials, voltage gated (open in response to a voltage change across the membrane) found on the axon region of our neurons, allow for action potentials, other gated (temperature gated channels, pressure gated channels, mechanically gated channels)
