It can exist in - a gated ion channel - can exist in one or two states.

它们能够存在于,门控离子通道有一种或者两种状态

That change happens because something gets triggered in the membrane, and what gets triggered is a voltage gated sodium channel, which is shown here.

变化的原因是膜上某些东西被触发了,被触发的是钠离子电压门控通道,展示在这儿了

The one that's on the top here is called ligand-gated ion channel and an ion channel is a protein that sits in the surface of a cell.

最上面的这个叫作配体门控离子通道,离子通道是一类位于细胞表面的蛋白

In some cases it might be a ligand-gated ion channel.

有时受体可能是一个配体门控离子通道

The balance of sodium movement relative to potassium movement changes because there's this resting movement of all these molecules anyway, but that balance changes dramatically when these ion - when these gated ion channels open.

钠钾各自运动始终保持动态的平衡,因为尽管在静息状态,所有这些离子也在运动,但是平衡的剧烈变化,只发生在这些门控离子通道打开的时侯

Now, remember we talked about these last time, voltage-gated channels are channels that would allow the passage of sodium, in this case, but they can exist in two states, a closed state and an open state.

还记得我们上节课讨论过的吧,电压门控通道是,一种可以容许钠离子通过的通道,在这一例子中 电压门控通道有两种状态,关闭状态和开放状态

The cells that take an electrical signal, which is coming down your nerve and convert it into a muscle contraction work this way, so 'neuro' nerve, muscle junctions act based on ligand-gated ion channels.

依靠相同的工作原理,细胞将来自于神经的,电信号传递到细胞收缩肌中,所以神经和肌肉关节运动,都基于配体门控离子通道
