  3. Ion channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_channel

    The archetypal channel pore is just one or two atoms wide at its narrowest point and is selective for specific species of ion, such as sodium or potassium. However, some channels may be permeable to the passage of more than one type of ion, typically sharing a common charge: positive or negative . Ions often move through the segments of the ...

  4. Noisy-channel coding theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-channel_coding_theorem

    The channel capacity can be calculated from the physical properties of a channel; for a band-limited channel with Gaussian noise, using the Shannon–Hartley theorem. Simple schemes such as "send the message 3 times and use a best 2 out of 3 voting scheme if the copies differ" are inefficient error-correction methods, unable to asymptotically ...

  5. Shannon–Hartley theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Hartley_theorem

    Some authors refer to it as a capacity. But such an errorless channel is an idealization, and if M is chosen small enough to make the noisy channel nearly errorless, the result is necessarily less than the Shannon capacity of the noisy channel of bandwidth , which is the Hartley–Shannon result that followed later.

  6. Graded potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded_potential

    Examples of graded potentials. Graded potentials are changes in membrane potential that vary according to the size of the stimulus, as opposed to being all-or-none.They include diverse potentials such as receptor potentials, electrotonic potentials, subthreshold membrane potential oscillations, slow-wave potential, pacemaker potentials, and synaptic potentials.

    BK channel openers can also have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. [10] At a low concentration of calcium BK channels have a greater impact on vascular tone . [ 10 ] Furthermore, the signaling system of BK channels in the cardiovascular system have an influence on the functioning of coronary blood flow . [ 10 ]

    On the other hand, purinergic receptor activation can also lead to the opening of the channel, via a positive feedback loop. [4] In addition, P2Y receptors activate inositol trisphosphate , which leads to a transient increase in intracellular calcium , and opens both connexin and pannexin channels, therefore contributing to the propagation of ...
