Membrane Potential, Ion Channels and Action Potentials mind maps

Membrane potential, ion channels and action potentials mind maps

These user-made maps connect topics in neuronal signalling. Ions looks at charged particles and their movement across the plasma membrane. Electrical Signalling brings those ions into the context of communication within a neuron. Other maps cover action potentials, potassium channels and synaptic transmission.

Choosing and using a map

Start with Ions if you want to focus on the particles involved before moving to a map about electrical signalling. For a closer look at channels, Voltage-gated Potassium Channels covers their role in excitability, while Kv Potassium Channel Family introduces members of that family.

Follow the branches of a map and explain the connections in your own words. When you want to check what you remember, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Flashcards can help with shorter, repeated study of terms.

Pick a map that matches the topic you are studying.
