In an experiment you place a neuron and its synaptic contacts into a medium containing no calcium ions. You stimulate the neuron causing an action potential to propagate down the axon into the axon terminal of the neuron. 3.) What is the most likely result of this experimental manipulation?
In an experiment you place a neuron and its synaptic contacts into a medium containing no calcium ions. You stimulate the neuron causing an action potential to propagate down the axon into the axon terminal of the neuron. 3.) What is the most likely result of this experimental manipulation?
A. Prolong the refractory period of the action potential
B. Decrease the time required to move sodium ions out of the axon terminal
C. Prevent neurotransmitter from binding to receptors on postsynaptic cells
D. Enhance the voltage changes associated with the action potential
E. Prevent release of neurotransmitter into the synapse
Neuron
Neuron is basic structural and functional unit of brain. It helps in transmission of signal from source to brain and vice versa.
