Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect on the release of P’s neurotransmitter levels.

Introduction: Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules that are released by the neurons in response to a stimulus which excites the other neurons and brings about a nerve signal impulse transmission.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of M’s neurotransmitter on the membrane potential of P’s synaptic membrane.

Introduction: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) helps in maintaining a steady state in the internal environment, which is called homeostasis. The two branches of ANS are the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. These systems control the different responses to different stimuli.

Photoreceptor cells form glutamatergic synapses onto bipolar cells and when photoreceptor cells are depolarized the release of glutamate into the synapse is increased. One class of bipolar cells, (called OFF bipolar cells) have excitatory glutamate receptors in their post-synaptic specialization. What happens to the membrane potential of OFF bipolar cells when photoreceptors are illuminated?
apucreceptors ava ble at the synapse are reflected in this number. Question 2: In this chapter, we discussed a GABA-gated ion channel that is permeable to Cl. GABA also activates a G-protein-coupled receptor called the GABA receptor, which causes potassium-selective B channels to open. What effect would GABAB receptor activation have on the membrane potential? GABAB receptor activation causes potassium-selective channels to open. As a result this bringhs the
If a neuron is stimulated simultaneously by 2 stimuli at its dendrites (one generates a very large hyperpolarizing potential and the other generates a very small depolarizing potential). What would happen to this neuron? Group of answer choices The summation of these two graded potentials will generate an action potential and this action potential will travel down the axon. Summation of these two graded potentials will cause the membrane potential at the axon hillock to be more negative. These graded potentials will bring the resting membrane potential to 0 mV. These graded potentials with opposite polarity would therefore generate two action potentials and they will travel along this neuron in opposite direction.
