n effector neuron is a motor neuron that transmits impulses from the CNS to an effector (muscle or gland). In an experiment, it was determined that the effector neuron for muscle fibre 1 had a threshold level of –5 mV. The effector neuron for muscle fibre 2 had a threshold level of –16 mV. An electrical probe was used to stimulate these two effector neurons of the muscle fibres. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the reaction of each muscle fibre based on the applied stimulus voltage? Stimulus Voltage Muscle Fibre 1 Muscle Fibre 2 –20 mV Relaxed Contracted b.

What happens to synaptic transmission during an experiment if the preparation (containing 1 αmotor neuron and 1 skeletal muscle) is bathed in a low calcium solution?
A chemical synapse is a type of synapse that occurs between two neurons and between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers (i.e. at a Neuromuscular junction, NMJ). Compare and contrast the specific events that occur at chemical synapses at these two sites. Describe clearly how they are similar and how they are different, starting at the arrival of a nerve impulse at the pre-synaptic neuron and ending up with the changes observed at the postsynaptic membranes.
Which types of patch clamp technique should be used if you want to determine if a particular compound is influencing synaptic transmission presynaptically or post synaptically?
If a geneticist were to genetically modify a mouse strain that shows reduced calcium channel activity in presynaptic terminals and they were to measure the synaptic facilitation from these synapses, what would they expect to find? Would he expect an increased or decreased paired pulse ratio compared to one recorded from synapses of wild-type animals? Why is this the case?
A researcher is investigating the effects of a toxin, isolated from the skin of a South American tree frog. The researcher is exploring the effect of that toxin on synaptic transmission at the mammalian skeletal neuromuscular junction. Their previous studies established that the toxin had no direct effect upon skeletal muscle contractility, but it did block muscle contractility elicited indirectly via electrical stimulation of the motor nerve. To establish how the toxin influenced synaptic transmission, in vitro studies were performed using the mouse phrenic nerve hemidiaphragm skeletal muscle preparation, bathed in a buffered saline solution containing a raised magnesium and lowered calcium concentration. Under these conditions intracellular recording determined the effect of the toxin on the amplitude (in mV) of miniature endplate potentials (mepps) and endplate potentials (epps) – see Table 1. Mean mepp amplitude Mean epp amplitude Control 0.5 mV 8 mV Toxin 0.5 mV 2 mV Table 1: Mean…

Draw the current that you would expect to flow during a voltage clamp experiment on a typical neuron. Voltages and time course are shown. Briefly explain why the currents are inward or outward. Be sure to provide scale bars. You should definitely label the Y axis so that the peak current value is obvious. Draw the Na+ current you would expect if there were physiological ionic gradients. Draw the K+ current you would expect if there are physiological ionic gradients. Draw the K+ current you would expect if the bath solution and the intracellular solution are both 125 mM.
Local anesthetic is often used in dentistry to lessen the sensation of pain during dental procedures. It prevents propagation of nerve conduction by decreasing the flow of ions. a. Describe how depolarization of an action potential can be blocked by the use of local anesthetic. b. Your classmate explained that once the threshold potential has been reached, the inside charge of the neuron is more positive than the outside charge. Is she correct? Can you compare the inside charge to the outside charge in an axon treated with local anesthetic?
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are ion channels found on animal cells. Some TRP channels are activated by spice molecules, such as garlic, chilli pepper, and wasabi. To study the effects of raw and cooked garlic on the opening of TRP channels, researchers isolated 10 neurons containing the TRP channels. Droplets of raw garlic extract were added to five of the neurons, and droplets of cooked garlic extract were added to the remaining five neurons. Both groups of neurons were monitored to see whether the channels were opening in response to the different types of garlic extracts. TRP channels were activated and opened in the neurons treated with raw garlic extract but not in the neurons treated with cooked garlic. Identify the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in the experiment described above.
