- What would happen if we reduced the quantity of acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft, after ACh is released from the pre-synaptic terminal? Can pick more than one We would increase the amount of choline and acetyl CoA produced in the cleft. We would have more ACh left in the cleft than if we had a 'normal' quantity of acetylcholinesterase. The ACh in the cleft would remain in the cleft for a longer period of time. We would have greater postsynaptic potentials generated.arrow_forwardWhich of the following situations in a neuron results in action potentials that have extended depolarization phases? O None of these result in extended depolarization phase. O Compromising the inactivation mechanism in voltage-gated Na* channels. O Stimulating the voltage-gated K* channels.

- Describe how neurons communicate. To do this you must address: resting membrane potential; graded potentials; IPSPs; EPSPs; the role of sodium, potassium and calcium; generation of an action potential; inotropic vs metabutropic receptors; why is an AP only one direction; how are neurotransmitters released; continuous vs saltatory conduction; spatial vs temporal summation.arrow_forwardSynaptic terminal Neurotransmitter SENDING NEURON Vesicle Calcium channel Receptor for neurotransmitter RECEIVING NEURON Synaptic cleftarrow_forwardACh that is found in the synapse is called AChE.
