Ion channels Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

NR546 Quiz reviews - Weekly Quiz review Propagation of an action potential to the axon terminal is mediated by voltage-sensitive sodium channels. Influx of sodium through voltage-sensitive sodium channels at the axon terminal leads to opening of voltage-sensitive calcium channels, also at the axon terminal. Influx of calcium through the open voltage sensitive calcium channels leads to docking of synaptic vesicles and secretion of neurotransmitter into the synapse.Agonists cause ligand-gate...

Ligand-gated ion channels, modulates cell excitability by allowing the flow of calcium and sodium ions into the cell. Located at the CNS in neurons and glia. Excess has resulted in schizophrenia, epilepsy, and mania Ligand-gated ion channels, strengthens synapses and involved in strong memory formation. Excess is associated with memory and learning impairments, psychosis, and excitotoxic brain injury Ligand-gated ion channels Functions as post synaptic inhibition by CI-influx Lack of...

Bio 181 ASU Exam 3 Questions with complete solutions List the 4 types of glial cells and list a phrase to describe their function. - answer1. Schwann cells wrap around the axon of a cell in the PNS, while providing electrical insulation. 2. Oligodendrocytes do the same thing as Schwann cells but they do it in the CNS. 3. Astrocytes protect the brain from toxic chemicals. 4. Microgilia protect the brain. T/F When the presynaptic cells contacts a muscle cell, the synapse area is called a mo...

When the presynaptic cell contacts a muscle cell, the synapse area is called a motor end plate. - ANSWER TRUE Briefly explain why the action potential flows only from the axon hillock to the terminal web. - ANSWER During the course of an action potential there is a refractory period that makes sure the action potential can't trigger backwards by the use of caps on gated sodium channels. The caps close and keeps the action potential flowing in one direction. How do the glial cells (i.e., m...

Nagah 2 | P a g e Ion pump and ion channels establish the resting potential of a neuron As you know, ions are unequally distributed between the interior of cells and the fluid that surrounds them. As a result, the inside of a cell is negatively charged relative to the outside. Because the attraction of o...
