WALDEN NURS 6630 PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY STUDY GUIDE
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS |ALL GRADED
The synaptic cleft - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- is the gap between the
presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic neuron; it contains proteins and
scaffolding and molecular forms of "synaptic glue" to reinforce the
connection between the neurons. Receptors are present on both sides of
this cleft and are key elements of chemical neurotransmission.
The soma - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- is the command center of the nerve
and contains the nucleus of the cell
Classic synaptic neurotransmission - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- stimulation
of a presynaptic neuron (e.g., by neurotransmitters, light, drugs, hormones,
nerve impulses) causes electrical impulses to be sent to its axon terminal.
These electrical impulses are then converted into chemical messengers
and released to stimulate the receptors of a postsynaptic neuron.
Axon - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- Neurons send information via an ____
that forms presynaptic terminals as the ____ passes by (en passant) or as
the ____ ends
Ax dendritic - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- synaptic connections between the
axon and dendrites of two neurons
Axosomatic - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔- synaptic connections between the
axon and the soma
