What is the difference between an action potential and a synapse? (select all that apply)

Summation means that a post-synaptic neuron only has an action potential if:     there are no IPSPs     there are no EPSPs     there are more IPSPs than EPSPs     there are more EPSPs than IPSPs

Describe at least 2 processes at the synapse that shift the effect of an action potential of a pre synaptic cell on the response of a post synaptic cell.

Given that graded potentials fade over distance, what type of synapse would be the most effective in starting or inhibiting an action potential?

What is a post-synaptic potential and how is it caused? Describe the two types of post-synaptic potentials that can occur. Within this context, what does excitatory and inhibitory mean?

Compare and contrast EPSPs and IPSPs.  Include the following information: Where each are produced  Ions involved  Direction and size of polarization (generally, not a specific value) Neurotransmitters involved Receptor types involved

Which statement is TRUE about the synapse? Neurotransmitters shuttle the signal back and forth between the pre- and post-synaptic cell. The pre-synaptic cell and post-synaptic cell are in direct contact, allowing the electrical signal to seamlessly flow from one to the other. The action potential jumps from the pre-synaptic cell into the post-synaptic cell. The action potential ends in the pre-synaptic cell and neurotransmitters carry the signal across the synaptic cleft to the post-synaptic cell.

what happens to a water souble hormone after it binds to a receptor on the target cell? select all that apply A. the hormone unbinds the receptor or pops back off B. the hormone is broken down by an enzyme C. the hormone is transported into the cell where it is destroyed by enzymes d. the hormones is transported into the cell where it promotes transcription.

You are a famous researcher working in your lab. You isolate a piece of muscle (call it Muscle A) and examine its innervations. You find a short preganglionic neuron synapsing onto a long postganglionic neuron, which synapses onto the muscle. Then you examine Muscle B and find a single neuron innervating it. you instantly recognize what types of neuronal connections you will find on both Muscle A and Muscle B. First give 2 characteristics of the synapse onto Muscle A. Then give 2 ways in which the synapse of Muscle B will be different.

What does the statement "synaptic transmission is quantal" mean? Provide three lines of evidence that support the statement. Edit mo Tablo
