Abstract: Previously proposed mechanism of cells ripple was used based on changes in the hydration of proteins of the cytoskeleton. Ripples are necessary to maintain cell homeostasis, entry into the cell nutrient and cleaning cell from products of metabolism. In this study we show that the ripples are also the basis of curves of depolarization and repolarization, define mechanisms of overshoot and promote the nerve impulse along the axon. The aim of the study is to theoretically justify the need of studies of the aqueous component of neuroplasm and especially the interaction of protein molecules with water molecules for further development of neurophysiology.

Keywords: Hydration; hydrolysis; ripple; axon; nodes of Ranvier; resting potential; activations; nerve impulse
