Laurentaylorj. (2013). English: As a nerve impulse travels down the axon, there is a change in polarity across the membrane. The Na+ and K+ gated ion channels open and close in response to a signal from another neuron. At the beginning of action potential, the Na+ gates open and Na+ moves into the axon. This is depolarization. Repolarization occurs when the K+ gates open and K+ moves outside the axon. This creates a change in polarity between the outside of the cell and the inside. The impulse continuously travels down the axon in one direction only, through the axon terminal and to other neurons. Retrieved from commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

[@JamesBucket]

wow this 5 minute video was better than my 1 hour 15 minute college class

[@directioner5671]

I agree

[@ilarioig2080]

for me as well!

[@jeslib.4573]

Why I love KZbin!

What is wrong with you

[@rasanjaperera8785]

haha same

[@IBoyar001]

Love the way he explains terminology simultaneously and test at the end he is a wonderful teacher

[@5857ammu]

my neurons studying themselves! :D

[@Lucuskane]

Amey Parchake Neurons replying to a comment about Neurons studying Neurons. lol inception

[@5857ammu]

lol true...this reply takes it to 3rd level :P

[@username2987]

neurons being creeped out about the thought of neurons while reading about two guys talking about their neurons that are watching a video about neurons

[@ashernadler8759]

ooooohhhh grandpa jokes ftw

[@kusharora6168]

lol

[@sohoyankee66]

Mr. Anderson you're just the best. You've gotten me through three chemistry classes and this is my second bio class I've used your videos to help get me through. This is my last class, however, I will certainly recommend you to other up coming students. Thank you so much for your help.

[@lisazimmatore9449]

These videos are honestly amazing! He has such a simple and effective way of teaching that gets to the point but is super informative! Can't get enough of these!

[@nandini5875]

Mr. Anderson, you should definitely do more videos on neurology and neuroscience. It would be helpful for those who want to major in this field or have a profound interest. Also, in the viruses section of AP biology, you should do a segment on how animal viruses proliferate and function. I needed it badly for this test, as sometimes textbooks don't provide good visualization into topics. Thanks for the help!

[@mano94377]

AP psychology too

[@chriserony]

This is great! Please do more videos on neurology! Your video on action potential is the most clear and thorough explanation I have seen yet. I'd like to see one that gets into Smooth & Rough ER, golgi apparatus, and how retrograde transport works.

[@pie582]

Omg, you explain so well! I'm a Brazilian learning English and I study by videos like yours! Thank youu

[@jonathanlee4469]

Before his video I was confused about the sensory neuron as the school just taught us about the common neuron like the dendrites and axon receiving and passing information.After he mentioned about there are 4 types of neuron like the UNIPOLAR NEURON everything becomes crystally clear.You did a great job Sir.

[@abellizandro8743]

Thanks a million professor. I have just started psychology 110, and this really comes in handy. God bless you

[@sapphirerose970]

This was very helpful! I've completely understood everything quite quickly. The format was great and easy to follow. Thank you so much :)

[@wyattwolfe]

This was super helpful. I am not a person who can learn just by reading a chapter, so this explanation combined with the visual aids really helped me.

[@awsal-jashami968]

No distracting music! Love it!

[@Gameplayery]

i dont even study biologie , i just like to know how my body functions, this channel is perfect for me !

[@yungmouse3850]

Do you also not study English? *biology

[@Bekltuvanetko]

Me to

[@keneilclarke8306]

damn

[@jackhammond2230]

oof

[@Jake-tc3zl]

GBTV lmao

[@Cherry77789]

I can not thank you enough for your amazing explanation . It really helped me to understand my lessons much more easier. Thankyou Mr Paul Andersen.

[@BensLab]

Nice and straightforward video! Pretty cool!

[@juliannablain6120]

Wow, this helped me so much. I am studying for my psychopharmacology class, and this broke down what I felt was very confusing at first information information into a very simple explanation, and I was able to learn very easily. THANK YOU!

[@emilydavis1068]

Bozeman Science- the backbone of modern education. Teaching people everywhere in a way that makes sense, and makes up for the lacking of other teachers.

[@goatcheesewheel12345]

Thank you very much. This video was very descriptive and useful on the basics of neurons. I liked it a lot and will continue to watch the other videos in the series

[@jonathanr.6530]

You're making really good videos . I'm a german student and our teacher uses them often for his lessons. Great job.

[@LilY-xu5tg]

This is exactly what I need, thank you so much!

[@SarahKovitz]

Thank you Mr. Anderson!

[@Theorymaster666]

You're an interesting guy. Please continue the good work

[@vivekananddubey8497]

NICE

[@Netrasree06]

Yes you are right

[@AngelaRenee-yw4qu]

Thank you for this clear and concise explanation of the neuron function and its parts.

[@tatianapirvu4565]

Very very helpful! Thank you for the great work!

[@iamsam2287]

Hi.. Our teacher told us that the ones that receive impulses from the brain is the synapse then it flows to the dendrites.. I tried on searching specific information that could support his statement but unfortunately i haven't been able to find those info yet.. Can you tell us how impulses being transmitted and what specific part of a neuron receive the impulses from the brain as well as the other way around???

[@wendywing8191]

You are awesome! Thank you for making stellar educational videos to use with my students!

[@AnitaHernanDX2]

Thank you so much for these videos. God Bless YOU!

[@amira_1898]

This was so helpful, thank you very much.

[@-_-august.amber.-_-]

You've helped me through AP Bio two years ago and continue to help me in cellular biology and biochemistry this year. Thank you so so much.

[@janebill2090]

Really nice and helpful! Thanks

[@roselynroderick538]

Thanks Mr. Anderson! Wonderful!

[@jb-x0]

Great i like how you make this classes. Just what i was looking for

[@nikkids4266]

Great job! Wish you had some videos on the cardiovascular system 😄. Of course, it could be because that's what I'm studying right now 🤔. Lol... thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@crzpinoy]

This was so easy to understand.... THANK YOU!!!!

[@rafagonzalezalzaga9297]

great video and amazing explanation

[@keneseue_4e]

Thank you so much Sir! This is a great explanation 😭❤️

[@g.staines398]

Thanks Mr. Anderson I am a Health lawyer in México interested in neurosciences to improve human rights eficacy and beat violence and impulsive behavior. I will recommend your videos to my class. Grace Staines

[@adamocollective6092]

Thank you I understood everything first try :) Could remember everything

[@rebeccaz1905]

Thank you for these videos, Mr. Anderson. I'm taking Behavioral Neuroscience online through my university, so I don't get to hear my professor's lecture. Your videos are super.

[@protasov-by]

I think anaxonic is gain reducer ( signal chain drainer) and unipolar is gainer ( signal volume increaser ) other is receptors and effectors, exept axonal myeline cell may also regulate something like latency of transmission action impulse or also gain.

[@Angle.yt02]

Very very helpful.thanks for the information.

[@yeseniagarza9343]

Thank you so much!!! Super easy to understand!!!

[@pump.queenz]

Thank you so much explain everything so well!!

[@AnonosaurusRex1]

This might interest you... As recorded by Dr Anupam Bandyopadhyay- The vibration signals- notes in our neuron microtubules (@ 26 min-link below) are C, B flat, and A flat, with a very strong emphasis on the C (4 Octaves). It should be noted however -this is only one microtubule of only one brain- unless I have the information mistaken. Dr Hameroff srates that the recording was altered in order to be audible... I don't know if this means altering the pitch or by how much. I also dont know if the electrical signal used to simulate the neuron had any effect on the tone it produced. It might produce a different tone if a different amplitude is used. In terms of music theory, it is a C chord with no 3rd and no 5th, plus a minor 7th (B flat) and a slightly present A flat (minor 6th). It would seem, from the viewpoint of holistic medicine, listening to and feeling this vibration - 262 Hz, as well as the octaves above and below- 344 Hz, 131 Hz, etc..(the more the merrier) might produce a health benifit from the sympathetic resonance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqmThKacm8mAeNk

[@fazebandorlmao1434]

As it helps to insulate 1:47 is there any other thing it does apart from insulating

[@Cimbarius]

Mr. Anderson rocks !

Excellent vids.so helpful.

[@leswilk1601]

What is the difference between inputs provided through dendrites and inputs provided through synapses ?

[@abellizandro8743]

I have a question for you dear professor :do you have a podcast? Thank you very much in advance ☺️

[@MarietjiePienaar]

excellent mr Andersen

[@dawnroberts9511]

Love your videos!

[@bibeknagarkoti3317]

Thank you Mr.Anderson

[@walrusbfv6862]

Can someone please answer: What is meant by information in this video? Is it an electric pulse that basically gives an on or off value like in a computer? What is the information that can pass through the neuron?

[@7Vexy]

I really like the comparison between the worm and human!

[@dkahmedkhalaf]

how do you get new neurons from previous neuron cells

[@kwantainthanouhak562]

Thanks you for sharing

[@wezzard759]

Thank you sooo muchhh , this 5 mins video explained a whole 4 pages full of useless information that took 1hour lecture to explain

[@ayonsaha7963]

wait, doesn't the receptors send information to the spinal cord which sends information to the the brain for processing and information to the motor neurons for reactions? or is the spinal cord noted as the "Inter Neuron" in this video.

[@yaroslavishchuk]

Hello guys. I have no medical education but I’m really interesting in brain structure and etc. could you give me some advice what book should I reed to understand more profoundly. Thanks in advance

Thank You!

[@giancarlojosueolmedoromana573]

Does anybody know why the Bozeman Science videos are no longer available on Khan Academy?

[@BillyBobBestie]

I'm guessing it's because he launched his own website, www.bozemanscience.com/
