**Question:**A number of peptide toxins from snails and spiders can inhibit (block) voltage-gated calcium channels. Where in an interneuron would you most likely expect these toxins to bind, and what physiological effect (if any) would you expect these toxins to have on the activity evoked in the postsynaptic cell?**Options:**- ○ dendrites, decreased effect in postsynaptic cell- ○ dendrites, increased effect in postsynaptic cell- ○ presynaptic terminal, decreased effect in postsynaptic cell- ○ presynaptic terminal, increased effect in postsynaptic cell- ○ trigger zone, no effect on activity in postsynaptic cell

The action potential is transmitted from one neuron to the next neuron at the synaptic terminals.…

When a neuron reaches threshold voltage, all voltage-gated channels are triggered to make conformational changes. The order in which this happens comes down to the timing/speed/kinetics of the different gates on the channels. Put the following events in the order they occur after a neuron reaches threshold voltage. 1. Voltage-gated K+ channels finish closing their gate. 2. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open their activation gate, increasing Na+ permeability. 3. Voltage-gated Na+ channels close their inactivation gates, reducing Na+ permeability. 4. Voltage-gated K+ channels open their gate, increasing K+ permeability. 5. Voltage-gated Na+ channels reset to their original conformation.
“Although originally designed as a γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogue, gabapentin does not interact with either GABA receptors, rather it binds to the α2δ subunit of calcium channels.” -Which region of the neuron is this in according to the quote? Is it the axon, axon terminal, cell body or dendrite? -By what words in the quote do you know that your answer is correct?
Rank the action potential starting from the neuron at resting state
Compound X has been shown to block voltage-gated K+ channels with an IC50 of 0.1 mM. Which of the following is the most likely to occur in neurones following application of 0.03 mM X? Action potentials would be prolonged and the resting potential would be depolarised. Action potentials would be prolonged but the resting potential would remain the same. Neither resting potential nor action potentials would be affected because the concentration of X is less than the IC50 value. The resting membrane potential would depolarise but there would be no effect on action potentials.
Draw a presynaptic and postsynaptic neuron at to demonstrate the release and acceptance of a neurotransmitter. Identify the following in your drawing: Ca2+, synaptic cleft, receptor, synaptic vessicle, SNARE, presynaptic neuron, postsynaptic neuron
When an impulse arrives at the synapse, the synaptic vesicles open and release neurotransmitters into the cleft within a thousandth of a second. Within another ten thousandth of a second, these molecules have diffused across the cleft and bound to receptor sites in the effector cell. In what two ways is transmission across a synapse terminated so that the neuron’s signal is concluded?
Please answer question 32
are these True or False? Receptors on the post-synaptic cell membrane that bind the acetylcholine are voltage-gated channels (channels that open in response to a change in the electrical charge of the membrane). When a muscle cell is not contracting its cell membrane is negative on the inner surface. The effect of a neurotransmitter on the muscle cell membrane is to modify its ion permeability properties temporarily.
Please answer question 41
Place the following events in chronological order from 1-8: Nat enters the cell, and depolarization occurs to approximately +30 mV. The voltage across the cell membrane is -70 mV, the resting membrane potential. Upon reaching the peak of the action potential, the VG Nat channels are inactivated by the closing of their inactivation gate and the activation gate of each VG K channel opens. VG K channels close by the closing of their activation gate, and the resting membrane potential is gradually restored. An excitatory post-synaptic potential depolarizes the membrane to threshold and the activation gate of VG Nat channels open. Upon returning to the resting membrane potential, VG Na channels are reset by opening of the inactivation gate and the closing of the activation gate. VG K+ channels are slow to close, resulting in an excess of K* efflux and hyperpolarization. Depolarization occurs as K+ flows out of the cell.
Correct answer: Ligand-gated ion channel don’t open until the neurotransmitter diffuses across the synapse and binds to the receptor, The calcium channels are blocked in the presynaptic cells, It takes time for the vesicular exocytosis to occur Please explain why each of the correct answer choices are correct. Thank you.
In terms of function when a presynaptic neuron receiving input from a nearby inhibitory neuron, it can be inferred that the both neurons firing won't be synchronized activation of the inhibitory neuron is nullified activation of the presynaptic neurotransmitter release is enhanced this type of interaction represents a regulatory input of neuronal activation
