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?
Transmission of signals from presynaptic neurons to postsynaptic neurons by the release of neurotransmitter (NT) is considered as chemical transmission. Generally, the chemical transmission is slower compared to electrical transmission. This causes a delay in the initiation of an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. Ther are many reasons causing this delay, such as.
1. Time taken by the NT to get released from the presynaptic neurons.
2. Time taken for diffusing of NT through the synaptic gaps.
3. Binding of the NT with the receptor might delay.
4. Some NT cannot activate receptors directly, instead activates a signaling pathway which in turn activates the receptor.

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...
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...
33. Ms. Evil is trying to develop a toxin that would affect the nervous system of her neighbor's dog, Boof. muscle bands that are the vocal cords necessary for barking, she could get som compound that causes Na+ gates in axons to stay open. You correctly predict that when Ms. Evil injects for hours at a time. She hypothesizes that if she could develop a toxin that would just affect the e sleep. She developsa Boof with this compound (through...
