Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 11WDYL
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The diagrams of the spinal and splanchnic nerve pathways as well as the difference between them which are based on the location of the synapses of these nerves.
Introduction:
Nerves are the carrier of electrical signals (nerve impulses). These nerves consist of several bundles of nerve cells (neurons). Based on their sources, these nerves are classified into two types. These are cranial and spinal nerves.

How is the choice of neurochemical to be released at a synapse determined?
A) We don't have enough information to draw conclusions about how this process occurs.
B) The postsynaptic structure signals its "choice" to the presynaptic structure.
C) The presynaptic structure begins to release its neurochemical onto postsynaptic structures, which adapt by producing the appropriate receptors.
D) The "choice" is determined by the genes of both the pre- and postsynaptic cells.
Which of the following statements concerning synapses is FALSE?
O A) Modulation of synaptic strength can be presynaptic of postsynaptic
B) High frequency stimulation in the presynaptic neuron often leads to
DECREASED neurotransmitter release
O C) Modulation of synaptic strength can either be short term, lasting seconds, or
long term, lasting as long as a lifetime.
D) Agonists are drugs that mimic neurotransmitters and antagonists are drugs
that block the action of neurotransmitters
O E) Certain drugs prevent the reuptake of neurotransmitter from the synapse
If an excitatory neurotransmitter binds to the post-synaptic neuron, what type of an event will that cause?
What happens if the neurotransmitter is an inhimitory neurotransmitter?
What type of ion will move into the post-synaptic neuron?
What type of polarizing event will occur?
and What happen at the axon hillock?
