Very broadly speaking, how many presynaptic neurons synapse on a postsynaptic neuron? (one, a few or many)
Very broadly speaking, how many presynaptic neurons synapse on a postsynaptic neuron? (one, a few or...
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.
What is a synapse? Is the presynaptic cell always a neuron? Is the postsynaptic cell always a neuron? If not, what other cell type could it be? Assuming both the pre- and post-synaptic cells are neurons, which one releases active neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft between them? 8. What are the three major functional classes of neurons that we discussed? Which is/ are found in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) and which is/are found in the Central Nerous System (CNS)?
4. Draw a synapse between 2 neurons. Label the following: Presynaptic neuron, Postsynaptic neuron, Synaptic vesicles, Voltage-regulated calcium channel, Chemical-regulated sodium channel. 5. Draw a diagram of the preganglionic neuron, postganglionic neuron, and effector for both Sympathetic Nervous System and Parasympathetic Nervous System. indicate which neurotransmitter is released by each neuron and label the receptors at all locations for the neurotransmitter. 6. Which cells have a resting membrane potential? Which cells can have an action potential? 7. Circle which of...

What can causes the graded potential in this action potential graph? There are two presynaptic neurons and one postsynaptic neuron | Figurel time (ms)
You are recording from the postsynaptic neuron at a glutamatergic synapse that contains AMPA and NMDA receptors. You stimulate the presynaptic neuron and record an EPSP. You then apply ketamine to the synapse and allow enough time for it to have its effect on the synapse (several minutes). Then you stimulate the presynaptic neuron again and record the resulting EPSP. Which of the following sets of plots indicates what your results would look like? ***Note that the y-axes on the...
You are trying to understand the nature of the synapse between two neurons. You electrically stimulate the presynaptic neuron and cause the release of NTs while you measure the activity of the post-synaptic neuron. You measure a slight depolarization in the neuron after a short delay. What could be causing this delay? How would you test your hypothesis?
Two neurons, A and B, synapse onto a third neuron, C. If neurotransmitter from neuron A opens ligand-gated channels permeable to sodium (Na) ions, and neurotransmitter from neuron B opens ligand-gated chloride (CI") channels, which of the following statements is true? Hint: Drawing a simple diagram may help visualize this scenario. Select one: a. An action potential in neuron A causes a depolarizing EPSP in neuron B. b. An action potential in neuron B causes a depolarizing EPSP in neuron...
Answer Thi Q. thank You The Nervous System edit) 1. The junction between one neuron and the next, or between a neuron and an effector is called: A) A synapse 8) A dendrite C) A neuotransmiter D ) A ventricle E) None of the above 2. A fast excitatory synapses follows this order A) (1) neurotransmiter released (2) diftused across the synaptic cleft to a receptor protein (3) binding of the transmitter opens pores in the ion channels and positive...
