- Part One: The story begins with Synapse Action potential travels down the axon and reaches the synaptic bulb. _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Acetylcholine (ACH) diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors. Calcium rushes into pre-synaptic terminal and initiates exocytosis. Electric current from action potential open up voltage gated calcium channels. ACH receptors open the associated gated channels (Na+ gated channels) Na+ rushes through the open channels into the muscle cell causing a large depolarization. Neurotransmitter (from the synaptic vesicles) is released into the cleft. After the initial depolarization of the muscle cell, the muscle cell releases Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE). The electric current in the T-tubules shocks the sarcoplasmic reticulum (opening voltage gated calcium channels) and causes calcium to spill into the cytoplasm of the muscle cell. ACHE begins to destroy the ACH in the synaptic cleft.

An explanation leading to the CORRECT answer would be helpful! Question: Nancy K. was ice skating and had a really bad fall. She landed awkwardly on her back and an X-ray shows she shattered a vertebra near the bottom of the thoracic region (the T-11 vertebra; mid-lower back). Unfortunately, the break crushed her spinal cord in the region, and now her brain is no longer able to send or receive signals through spinal nerves below the fracture. Which body parts are LEAST likely to be paralyzed by this horrific accident?arrow_forward
