ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
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. - CORRECT ANSWER - classic synaptic neurotransmission


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. - CORRECT ANSWER - The synaptic cleft


is the command center of the nerve and contains the nucleus of the cell - CORRECT
ANSWER - the soma


Neurons send information via an ____ that forms presynaptic terminals as the ____ passes by (en
passant) or as the ____ ends - CORRECT ANSWER - axon


synaptic connections between the axon and dendrites of two neurons - CORRECT
ANSWER - axodendritic



synaptic connections between the axon and the soma - CORRECT ANSWER - axosomatic



synaptic connections between axons of the two neurons - CORRECT ANSWER -
axoaxonic
