Comprehensive Questions
(Frequently Tested) with
Verified Answers Graded A+
classic synaptic neurotransmission - Answer: Presynaptic to synaptic to post synaptic
retrograde neurotransmission - Answer: Neurotransmitter moves to opposite direction from
post synaptic to presynaptic
Used to limit a response
volume transmission - Answer: Neurotransmitter spills over to other synapses by diffusion
signal transduction cascade - Answer: Triggered by chemical neurotransmitter from presynaptic
neuron
-Ligand binds to receptor which is activated to bind to G-protien and series of messengers
ultimate goal of signal transduction cascade - Answer: ultimate goal is to turn off or on gene
(GENE EXPRESSION) and production of phosphoprotien
ultimate targets of signal transmission - Answer: to turn on or turn off genes (Gene Expression)
and to produce phosphoprotiens
, second messenger - Answer: change occurs to bind to G-protien -which changes to bind to
enzyme -which changes and forms second messenger
2nd messenger found? - Answer: Intracellular
G-linked protein - Answer: Activated by binding to receptor after receptor has been
conformational changed by neurotransmitter.
G-linked protein's role? - Answer: Once bound to receptor G-linked protien changes shape and
binds to enzyme which then release second messenger to next enzyme in signal transduction
cascade.
phosphoproteins - Answer: Involved in transduction
Phosphoprotiens are target along STC - these change how Neurotransmitter is released
phosphoproteins formed - Answer: Helps to send message to gene
One of the end targets along with the gene
Works on ion conduction
transcription factors? - Answer: Converting DNA into RNA
transcription factors final target - Answer: gene expression
neuronal gene expression - Answer: environmental factors can affect gene expression -
(important things to take away)
Epigenetics - Answer: can turn gene on or off by modifying cromatin in cell nucleus
