all over the plasma membrane of the neuron.
Neurons contain N or P/Q -type calcium channels. Though they are present throught the neuron, their distibution greatley varies with the region. They are mostly concentrated in the nerve terminals. Depolarization potential causes the opening of voltage gated calcium channels at the nerve terminals and influx calcium ions (exocytosis) causes release of neurotransmitter from the synaptic vesicles.
Some of the calcium channels are laos located at the bas eof dendrites which are responsible for dendritic calcium spikes during action potential bursts.

3. Many neurons contain "delayed K channels". Like voltage-gated Nat channels, these voltage-gated K+ channels open in response to a rise in membrane potential and then undergo inactivation. However, opening of the voltage-gated K channels lags behind opening of the voltage-gated Na channels. a) Why does neuronal function require the voltage-gated K channels to open more slowly than the voltage-gated Na channels? b) Compared to a neuron that lacks voltage-gated K channels, what differences would you expect in the shape...

Which of the following statement(s) regarding gated channels is/are FALSE? Gated channels facilitate the passage of ions such as Cl- and Na+ across the plasma membrane. Gated channels open or close in response to a signal. Gated channels facilitate the passage of small, nonpolar molecules such as O2 across the plasma membrane. Gated channels allow for the passive movement of substances across the plasma membrane in a process called facilitated diffusion. Gated channels facilitate the passage of small, nonpolar molecules...
