Summary Introduction
To determine:
The necessity of having an expensive mechanism of mass activation response of the sympathetic nervous system at disposal.
Concept introduction:
The sympathetic nervous system is most active when something exciting is going to happen. Mass activation of the sympathetic nervous system refers to the stimulation of various body structures through sympathetic neurons. Mass activation is often a response to a crisis.

When the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the acetylcholine receptor (a GPCR) on muscle cells, it causes them to contract. ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation.
How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?

- Explain the difference between slow and fast chemical transmission. Fig. 8.23arrow_forwardDopamine is a neurotransmitter produced by the nervous system that is involved in the pleasure/reward system in the brain. The release of dopamine in response to a stimulus produces feelings of happiness and satisfaction. Cocaine is a type of drug that affects the brain response to dopamine. Usually after dopamine is released into the synaptic cleft, it is quickly re-absorbed into the neuron using dopamine transporters. However, cocaine blocks these transporters which causes dopamine to remain in the synaptic cleft for a long period of time. How would this impact the neuron's ability to communicate? Neurons will produce smaller action potentials because more dopamine is binding to receptors on the neuron, preventing the neuron from reaching the threshold potential Neurons will be under-stimulated because dopamine will bind to receptors and prevent ions from moving into the neuron, preventing electrical signaling Neurons will produce larger action potentials because more dopamine is…arrow_forwardATPase is an enzyme that can hydrolyse ATP and release the potential energy stored in the phosphate bond. How would a metabolic inhibitor that blocks ATPase function affect the resting potential of nerve cells?arrow_forward
- A student is eating at the lab bench (a clear violation of lab policies) and mistakenly sprinkles tetrodotoxin on his fries. Explain the origin of the toxin and its normal function in that animal. Given that this substance inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, indicate whether each of the statements below are true or false. Explain your answers. Explain the time course of the response. It will be more difficult for the student’s neurons to generate action potentials The student’s neurons will fire more frequently because membrane potential will be brough closer to threshold. The effect on the membrane potential o the student’s neurons could be predicted by the Nernst equation, which factors in the effects of both ion concentration and ion permeability.arrow_forwardAre these true or false? Acetylcholine molecules are actively transported from the axon to their receptors on the muscle membrane by special transport proteins. Receptors on the post-synaptic cell membrane that bind the acetylcholine are voltage-gated channels (channels that open in response to a change in the electrical charge of the membrane). When a muscle cell is not contracting its cell membrane is negative on the inner surface. The effect of a neurotransmitter on the muscle cell membrane is to modify its ion permeability properties temporarily. During depolarization, a small region of the muscle cell's membrane becomes less negative on the inside." Both sodium and potassium are more concentrated in the extracellular fluid than the intracellular fluid. After an action potential passes over a region of the sarcolemma the region remains positively charged throughout the entire muscle contraction. An increase in the calcium ion level in the cytosol causes thin filaments to begin…arrow_forwardClostridium botulinum is a bacteria that produces a toxin. The toxin is deadly to most animals, because it prevents vesicle movement inside the axons of motor neurons. If a person were to consume food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which of the following would most likely occur? flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to conduct action potentials along their axons. spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would release too much acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiber spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would conduct too many action potentials along their axons. flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to release acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiberarrow_forward
- Parkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease is neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Most people affected with Parkinson's disease demonstrate rigidity, slow movement, and shaking. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur when the cells that produce dopamine neurotransmitters die in the brain. Explain how the signal transmission at a synapse in an individual with Parkinson's disease is different than an unaffected individual. Describe the normal process of signal transmission at a synapse. Start with the arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal and include the name of the neurotransmitter that is affected by Parkinson's disease. Explain how the process is different in individuals affected with Parkinson's disease.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a correct functional match for CGMP?

How would the neuron's action potential be affected by conotoxin? Explain, using at least TWO of the following terms: threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, summation, IPSP, EPSP, exocytosis C. If conotoxin affected a somatic motor neuron, would this toxin cause muscle weakness or increased muscle tension? Explain why.arrow_forward
- Let’s say the synapses of a neuron’s dendrites are filled with glutamate-gated channels which, when activated by glutamate, cause an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) in the neuron. In one instance, glutamate is released at all of the synapses simultaneously and this leads to an action potential in the neuron. A) What type of summation of PSPs is this? Why? B) List the sequence of steps that occur starting from binding of glutamate to the glutamate-gated channels at the synapses and ending with the membrane potential at the axon hillock returning to resting potential at the end of the action potential. (Include all the changes in voltage-gated channels underlying the action potential.)arrow_forwardDrugs bind to receptor and give response to the body. What type of binding involve in this process ?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is comparable to a positive feedback cycle? a) opening of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in response to an action potential arriving at the axon terminal b) opening of voltage-gated Na+ channels in response to a depolarizing graded potential c) movement of K+ through leak channels d) operation of the Na+-K+ ATPase at rest e) opening of voltage-gated K+ channels in response to a depolarizing graded potentialarrow_forward
