Membrane Potentials of the Lobster Giant Axon Obtained by Use of the Sucrose-Gap Technique
A method similar to the sucrose-gap technique introduced be Stäpfli is described for measuring membrane potential and current in singly lobster giant axons (diameter about 100 micra). The isotonic sucrose solution used to perfuse the gaps raises the external leakage resistance so that the recorded potential is only about 5 per cent less than the actual membrane potential. However, the resting p...
متن کاملMembrane hyperpolarization during human sperm capacitation.
Sperm capacitation is a complex and indispensable physiological process that spermatozoa must undergo in order to acquire fertilization capability. Spermatozoa from several mammalian species, including mice, exhibit a capacitation-associated plasma membrane hyperpolarization, which is necessary for the acrosome reaction to occur. Despite its importance, this hyperpolarization event has not been...
متن کاملorigin of youth movements in iran: generation gap or democracy
the present paper aims to highlight the origin of the youth movements in iran during the intervening years of 1971 and 2002. during these three decades, youth movement was one of the important social movements in the political arena of the country. while explaining the origin of the movement, two changes i.e. 'generation gap' and 'democracy' have been studied and it was found that the origin of...
متن کاملHyperpolarization of a Barnacle Photoreceptor Membrane following Illumination
Membrane potential changes following illumination of a photoreceptor cell in the lateral ocellus of a barnacle (Balanus eburneus) were studied by means of intracellular recording and polarization techniques. Illumination produces a depolarizing response. When the illumination is terminated, the membrane potential temporarily becomes more negative than the resting potential prior to illumination...
متن کاملCharacterization of acetylcholine-induced membrane hyperpolarization in endothelial cells.
The characteristics of the hyperpolarization response to acetylcholine (ACh) in endothelial cells from the guinea pig coronary artery were studied by microelectrode recording technique. ACh (30 nM to 3 microM) induced membrane hyperpolarization in a dose-dependent manner. The sustenance of the response required the presence of external calcium. The hyperpolarization was not affected by nifedipi...
