Question
Flaccid paralysis (resulting from the failure of muscles to contract), induced by the neurotoxin tubocurarine, occurs when this poison blocks the binding of:
- the inhibitory neurotransmitter melatonin to post-synaptic bicarbonate channels
- the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate to post-synaptic calcium channels
- the excitatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine to post-synaptic sodium channels
- the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine to post-synaptic chloride channels
- the excitatory neurotransmitter serotonin to post-synaptic potassium channels

- Dopamine is a neurotransmitter produced by the nervous system that is involved in the pleasure/reward system in the brain. The release of dopamine in response to a stimulus produces feelings of happiness and satisfaction. Cocaine is a type of drug that affects the brain response to dopamine. Usually after dopamine is released into the synaptic cleft, it is quickly re-absorbed into the neuron using dopamine transporters. However, cocaine blocks these transporters which causes dopamine to remain in the synaptic cleft for a long period of time. How would this impact the neuron's ability to communicate? Neurons will produce smaller action potentials because more dopamine is binding to receptors on the neuron, preventing the neuron from reaching the threshold potential Neurons will be under-stimulated because dopamine will bind to receptors and prevent ions from moving into the neuron, preventing electrical signaling Neurons will produce larger action potentials because more dopamine is…arrow_forwardIn chemical synapses, neurons communicate with other neurons or skeletal muscles via neurotransmitters (NT). Explain the steps of neurotransmission beginning from the action potential arriving at the axon terminal to the termination of NT actions. (answer max 8 sentences)arrow_forwardTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation causes an involuntary motor output in response to a magnetic stimulation over the skull. Why do we see this output? Include the following concepts in your response: •neuroanatomy •central versus peripheral nervous system •neuron structure and direction of information flow •hyper versus depolarization •specific ions •membrane potential •diffusion and electrostatic pressurearrow_forward
- If a newly-developed drug is found to bind to acetylcholine receptors but does not activate them, the drug is classified as an agonist. True or false?arrow_forwardDraw a presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron at to demonstrate the release and acceptance of a neurotransmitter. Identify the following in your drawing: Ca2+, synaptic cleft, receptor, synaptic vessicle, SNARE, presynaptic neuron, postsynaptic neuronarrow_forwardAntidepressants work by O increasing presynaptic GABA secretion. increasing serotonin reuptake by the neuron. decreasing BDNF secretion by neurons. decreasing serotonin reuptake by the presynaptic terminal. All the answers are possible.arrow_forward
- where are the locations you can these neurotransmitters: Norepinephrine Epinephrine Serotonin Glutamate Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) Acetylcholinearrow_forwardVitamins B1, B6 and B12 are so-called "Neurotropic" vitamins. They may response to "Wallerian degeneration" in nerve system. Briefly describe"Wallerian degeneration" and how the "neurotropic" vitamins react with this process.arrow_forwardStudies have shown that individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have lower than normal amounts of dopamine and norepinephrine excitatory neurotransmitters in their synapses. Methylphenidate is one of the drugs prescribed to individuals with ADHD. It prevents the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine neurotransmitters from the synapses, thereby keeping these neurotransmitters in the synapses longer. Which of the following rows correctly identify the effects of methylphenidate in individuals with ADHD? Select one: a. There is an increase in the permeability of the presynaptic neuron to potassium ions. b. There is a increase in the permeability of the postsynaptic neuron to potassium ions. c. There is an increase in the permeability of the presynaptic neuron to sodium ions. d. There is a increase in the permeability of the postsynaptic neuron to sodium ions.arrow_forward
- Acetylcholine is an excitatory neurotransmitter that is responsible for initiating muscle movement. Consider the scenario where a mouse was bitten by a snake that injected venom into their circulatory system. The venom has an inhibitory effect on the reuptake of acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft. Explain how the mouse’s body would respond to the venom as well as the venoms effect at the cellular level.arrow_forwardDrugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) affect the reuptake of neurotransmitter by presynaptic cells. SSRIs are used for the treatment of depression. Serotonin normally causes an excitatory postsynaptic potential. Explain why neurotransmitter reuptake is important. And describe what effect the SSRI would have on the response of these postsynaptic cells and why.arrow_forwardIf a patient was bitten by a poisonous spider (black widow) and the effects of its venom occurred at the neuromuscular junction in the peripheral nervous system, what neurotransmitter would be affected by this venom? And explain the mechanism of action of how the venom is a direct antagonist to this neurotransmitter.arrow_forward
