@AK LECTURES you're seriously a life saver man. Keep doing what you do because you are very good at it. I watch a lot of UA-cam videos to try to learn material my professors don't teach well and you have never disappointed me. Better than Kahn academy even in my opinion because you cover one specific topic in high detail with extremely well drawn graphics. 10/10 would smash the subscribe button. This is coming from a guy who normally can't be bothered to drop a like on a video.
Why does it make sense that the valence, z, is in the denominator of the Nernst equation? Specifically, explain intuitively why it makes sense that the equilibrium potential for an ion with valence +2 would be half the magnitude of the equilibrium potential for an ion with valence +1. (For example, K+ has an equilibrium potential of - 84 mV, but an ion X++, with the same intracellular and extracellular concentrations as K+, would have an equilibrium potential of just -42 mV).
very nice explanation. But wouldn't decrease in internal concentration of potassium ions result in higher potential according to the equation. it then doesn't make sense how we get lower value, namely -70mV?
happen to have found the dynamic mystery of neuron's resting membrane potential ...as much as you explained how the unique permeability to precise ions constitute in establishing the resting membrane potential (usually -70mV) , what about the large proteins (-vely) charged molecules found inside the neurons ...do they constitute in establishing the -ve resting membrane charge?
But, what depends if an ionic channel is open or not? When you said that the cell is more permeable to K that it´s mean that Na has less ion channels, or that these Na channels are closed?
but if the K+ channels are open and the concentration of K+ drops in the inside (say to 100mM,and outside increases a little, say to 10mM, and i recalculate, i get an even more positive average result (in this case from -18mV close to 0mV). So how comes that my average result in voltage actually should go down to our -70mV in case of leakage and reduction of K+ in the inside??
When talking about inactivation of voltage gated channels, do they inactivate before an ion reaches nernst? Do charges from a type of ion influence the nernst of another ion?
Sir if resting potential is caused due unequal distribution of charge then why resting membrane potential is - 70 as the potassium ion channels wouldnot open up. If it open the definition of resting membrane potential is wrong?????
There are some major errors in your video: 1. There exist only 1 electric field and therefore potential across the membrane and you can't take averages! 2. The out flux of potassium ions would lead to a depolarisation of the membrane with respect to potassium and actually would increase the membrane potential and not decrease it! 3. The main reason you have a resting potential of -70 mv is that you have three major ions of potassium, sodium and chlorine and they reach an electrochemical equilibrium with a resting potential of -70 mv when the membrane is not permeable to sodium. 4. You equation for the membrane potential is wrong and it has to be in the form ln ([X]_out/[X]_in) 5. The overall potential is calculated by taking all the ions into consideration using ln ([X1]_out + [X2]_out + [X3]_out]/[X1]_in + [X2]_in + [X3]_in)
this dude knows everything

oh my god.
i understood ALL of that.
the lecturer is a super effective communicator. thank you!!
tHANK YOU!! finally, read 3 different books and many booklets AND watched a lot of videos that havent explained the last part of your video easily.
I respect greatly for the kind of teaching you have exhibited. Thank you very much!

"The equilibrium point" is the same as the electrochemical equilibrium?
thank you so much. you are a life saver
awesome explanation!
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks man. It helped me a lot 🙂
Are there only channels that leak K+ or are there ones for Na+ too?
very nice explanation. But wouldn't decrease in internal concentration of potassium ions result in higher potential according to the equation. it then doesn't make sense how we get lower value, namely -70mV?
Good job!

Very helpful

Na+ channels gets closed early than k+ channels.
but if the K+ channels are open and the concentration of K+ drops in the inside (say to 100mM,and outside increases a little, say to 10mM, and i recalculate, i get an even more positive average result (in this case from -18mV close to 0mV).

Butter Brot because atp pump restores k+ thats y tgere is never deficit of k+ inside
When talking about inactivation of voltage gated channels, do they inactivate before an ion reaches nernst?
Do charges from a type of ion influence the nernst of another ion?
UR THE BEST I LOVELOVE LOVE LOVE YOU
Sir in some books it is written that the average value is - 70mv here what is significance of average plss explain
Isn't it suppose to be [X]out/[X]in !?
positive equation with [X]out/[X]in is the same as negative equation [X]in/[X]out
Sir if resting potential is caused due unequal distribution of charge then why resting membrane potential is - 70 as the potassium ion channels wouldnot open up. If it open the definition of resting membrane potential is wrong?????
Isn't the equation concentration of Out divided by Inside concentration?? I think everything else was good tho!
no actually its correct...instead he has used -ve sign before (RT/ZF),thus input/output...if we keep it +ve,it will be output/input, as u said :)
Why do i go university ?
Great
