SYNA Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

(synapses) inhibitory neurotransmitters - ANS-hyperpolarise postsynaptic membrane so potential difference is more negative, preventing an action potential from firing / eg GABA opens Cl- channels so hyperpolarises membrane (synapses) synapse definition - ANS-a junction between neurones and effectors (synapses) process - ANS-action potential reaches pre-synaptic knob and triggers release of neurotransmitters from vesicles / diffuse across synaptic cleft to post-synaptic neurone or effec...

This summary contains information about: the synaptic vesicle cycle, transmission electron microscopy, BoTX, literature research, and types of fixation (chemical vs. cyro-fixation).

synaptic cleft Answer a gap that separates neurons what do synapses transmit Answer neurotransmitters where is the synaptic knob located Answer the end of the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron what is the purpose of a synapse Answer to relay information in the form of neurotransmitters in one neuron to another presynaptic neurons contains many Answer organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum for the synthesis of neurotransmitters What stor...

Graded Potentials, Action Potentials&SynapseGraded Potentials - correct answer A small deviation from the RMP that makes the membrane either more polarized (more negative inside=hyperpolarizing) or less polarized (less negative inside=depolarizing). Hyperpolarizing Graded Potentials - correct answer When the response makes the membrane more polarized (more negative inside). Occurs in soma and dendrites of a neuron. Depolarizing Graded Potentials - correct answer When the response makes the...

Definitions- Synapsessynaptic transmission - correct answer process of transferring info from one cell to another at a synapse electrical synapse - correct answer synapse in which electric current flows from one cell to another via a gap function chemical synapse - correct answer synapse in which presynaptic activity stimulates the release of a neurotransmitter, which activates receptors in the postsynaptic membrane (in the brain) synapse - correct answer specialized junction where one ...

Contains - table of content - bullet pointed - page numbers - images Very organized and clear to read. Has everything you need to know on this topic for this course. Transcribed from voicethreads (Lecture).
