Fifteen different presynaptic neurons synapse on a single postsynaptic neuron. The postsynaptic neuron has a RMP of -70 mV. At the trigger zone, 14 of the presynaptic neurons produce excitatory postsynaptic potentials of 2 mV each, and the other one produces an inhibitory postsynaptic potential of 9 mV. The threshold for the postsynaptic neuron is -50 mV. Will action potentials be produced in the postsynaptic neuron? Is this an example of temporal summation or spatial summation? Explain your answers.

1) The transfer of heat from arterial to venous blood is seen in dolphins. This type of thermoregulation is called A) thermogenesis. B) evaporation. C) vasoconstriction. D) vasodilation. E) countercurrent exchange. 2) Neural transmission across a mammalian synaptic gap is accomplished by A) the movement of sodium and potassium ions from the presynaptic neuron into the postsynaptic neuron. B) impulses travelling as electrical currents across the gap. C) impulses causing the release of a chemical signal and its diffusion across...

Passage IV (Questions 114-117) Electrical impubses are transferred from one neuron to another via a synapse. Synapses can be electrical or chemical. In response to an electrical stimalus such as an action potential the presynaptic neuron in a chemical synapse releases a neuro- transmitner across a small space between the two neurons known as a symaptic cief. Neurotransmitiers may have excita- ory...

INFORMATION ABOUT IMAGE G FOR QUESTIONS 12-15:
GABAB receptors (GABABRs) are
G-protein-coupled receptors that can be found on both pre- and
postsynaptic neurons. When they are activated by GABA, they can
have a range of effects. For the synapse you are studying in the
following questions, the effects of GABABRs are
indicated in IMAGE G.
You are doing a series of experiments in which you are recording
from the pre- and postsynaptic cell at a synapse. The experiments
described below...
