Introduction :-
A brief alteration in the electric polarisation of a nerve cell's membrane is known as a postsynaptic potential (PSP) (neuron). The postsynaptic potential, which results from the chemical transfer of a nerve impulse at the synapses (neuronal junction), might cause the firing of a fresh impulse.

- starting with an axon that is maintaining a resting potential, describe the sequence of events that causes the generation of an action potential, including the electrical charges and ions involved.arrow_forwardNicotinic acetylcholine receptors allow both sodium and potassium to flow across the cell membrane when the receptors are activated. Which statement is true about the flow of ions through nicotinic receptors? Potassium only flows through an open nicotinic receptor only when there is no sodium present. More sodium ions pass through an open nicotinic receptor than pass potassium ions. An equal number of sodium and potassium ions pass through an open nicotinic receptor. O More potassium ions pass through an open nicotinic receptor than pass sodium ions.arrow_forwardOrder the following in the correct sequence that results in generation of action potential local potential is generated at axon hillock action potential may or may not result in subsequent post synaptic neuron depending on type of neurotransmitter and receptors etc. stimulus is picked up by dendrites If the potential reaches a threshold, action potential spreads throughout the axon signal then reaches synaptic knob, which releases neurotrasmitters A Moving to another question will save this response. « < Question 51 17 étv 80 DII DD F2 F3 F4 F5 F9 F10 23 24 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. 10 R T Y S.

- a channel can be gated mechanically, voltage or by a ligand. When you hear a sound all three of these type channels are being utilized. Explain generally where/how each of these channels are being utilized starting from hearing the sound, through travelling down a nerve to transmission to another nerve.arrow_forwardWith respect to the three structural types of neurons (unipolar, bipolar & multipolar): State which parts of each type of neuron receive information, which parts integrate information, and which parts conduct the output signal of the neuron. Describe the location of the cell bodies of each type of neuron within the nervous system.arrow_forwardTo fill the blanks choose from the following: Sodium potassium pump, out of, -30, into, -90, potassium gated-channels, active, +30, sodium gated channels, -70, +70, Repolarization , Refractory, Resting Potential, Depolarization, node of Ranvier, Schwann cells, unmyelinated, speed up, slows down, myelinated.arrow_forward
