- When action potentials arrive at a synapse between a neuron and another cell, they stimulate the release of molecules of a ________ that diffuse over to that cell.arrow_forwardAssume presynaptic excitatory neuron A terminates on a postsynaptic cell near the axon hillock and presynaptic excitatory neuron B terminates on the same postsynaptic cell on a dendrite located on the side of the cell body opposite the axon hillock. Explain why rapid firing of presynaptic neuron A could bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold through temporal summation, thus initiating an action potential, whereas firing of presynaptic neuron B at the same frequency and the same magnitude of EPSPs may not bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold.arrow_forwardA neuron responds to adequate stimulation with _______, a type of self-propagating signal.arrow_forward
- Which of the following occurs immediately after the peak of an action potential? The membrane potential begins to repolarize O Voltage gated potassium channels are open Ⓒ Voltage gated sodium channels are inactivated The cell is in the absolute refractory period All of the abovearrow_forwardDrag and drop the following events of an action potential into its correct order: Voltage-gated Na* channels open and Na* floods into the neuron. Nat channels inactivate and voltage gated K* channels open. Ligand-gated Na* channels open. Voltage gated K* channels close and membrane potential approaches the resting membrane potential.arrow_forwardWhen a cell membrane potential of a neuron shifts from +10V to -70mV we say the membrane has: depolarized repolarized hyperpolarized polarized 50000arrow_forward
- Which of the following are the likely explanations for the failure of a postsynaptic neuron to trigger an action potential? Select all that apply. The EPSPs are neutralized by the neurotransmitter The summation of IPSPs and EPSPs is insufficient to depolarize the cell to threshold The synapses generating the EPSPs are too close to the axon hillock The synapses generating the EPSPs are too far from the axon hillockarrow_forwardIf a post synaptic neuron is stimulated to threshold by spatial summation this implies that the post synaptic cell has a lower than normal threshold the postsynaptic cell has many synapses with many presynaptic neurons the post synaptic cell is getting stimulated many times during a short period of time by a single presynaptic neuron the post synaptic cell is slow to repolarizearrow_forwardRepolarization occurs because Multiple Choice more sodium ions diffuse into the cell than potassium ions diffuse out of it. potassium ions continue to diffuse out of the cell after the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated sodium ion channels begin to close. the increased potassium ion permeability lasts slightly longer than the time required to bring the membrane potential back to its resting level. the extra efflux of potassium ions causes the membrane potential to become slightly more positive than the resting value. the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated sodium ion channels begin to open and the diffusion of sodium ions decreases.arrow_forward
