Now, this is in the resting state of all cells, there's some membrane potential and neurons have this resting membrane potential also.

现在这是一个静息状态的细胞,它具有膜电位,神经元也具有类似的静息电位

Now, what happens during an action potential is that that membrane potential changes very rapidly and it changes from being negative to being more positive.

在动作电位产生时,膜电位迅速改变,从较负的电位向更正的电位改变

That results in a dramatic change in the membrane voltage; the potential across the membrane and that's shown here by this rapid rise in membrane potential.

变化导致了膜电压的剧烈变化,膜电压就是跨膜的电势差,表现为膜电位的迅速上升

It would generate an electrical signal because it would - you'd open the ion channel and you would ion fluxes and you would change the membrane potential in just the way I described for the action potential.

它会产生一个电信号,因为--,离子通道会打开,产生离子流,膜电位会改变,像我讲动作电位时那样

That potential difference is generated by the movement of ions, principally sodium and potassium across the membrane.

电势差是由离子运动造成的,特别是钠和钾的跨膜运动

This process, which is shown schematically here, as a vesicle fusing with the cell membrane and then dropping its neurotransmitter only happens when an action potential reaches the end of the axon.

这一过程 扼要地展示在这里,小泡同细胞膜融合,释放其神经递质,这只发生在动作电位抵达轴突末梢时

That happens, and if I was looking at a region of membrane that was experiencing an action potential I would see voltage change in just the way it's shown in this graph here.

当去极化发生时,如果我观察一个经历动作电位的区域,我就会看到这样的电压变化,就像这幅图上展示的一样

They carry a potential, that is, if you could - if you had a tiny, tiny electrical meter, you could one put one electrode on one side of the cell membrane, on the extracellular side and one on the intracellular side and measure, you would measure a potential difference; just like a battery you would measure a potential difference.

它们带有电势,就是说,如果你能有一个足够小的电位计,可以把一个电极放在细胞膜一侧,假设放在细胞外的一侧,另一个电极放在细胞内侧并测量,你能测到一个电势差,就像电池那样能测到电势差
