- 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 synapsearrow_forwardJohn Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz identified the endorphin receptor in frogs, and concluded that animals have a "built in" opioid system. To make sure that endorphins are truly neurochemicals, which of the following question should we ask these gentlemen? Please select all that apply.a) Are endorphins released in response to presynaptic depolarization? b) Do endorphins interact with postsynaptic receptors? c) Are endorphins found in presynaptic cells? d) Are endorphins subject to reuptake?arrow_forwardWhat is meant by a paracrine neurotransmitter?arrow_forward
- What type of synaptic potential (if any; be sure to indicate if any modification is occurring as well) would occur if: a.) An MAO inhibitor type of antidepressant is functioning at an active dopaminergic synapse that increases the rate of sodium flowing into the cell. b.) Prozac is present at an active serotonin synapse where receptor activation increases the flow of potassium out of the cell.arrow_forwardGive two mechanisms by which neurotransmitters exert their effects.arrow_forwardHow do neurotransmitters directly affect the postsynaptic neuron? A)They cause a change in the electrical potential, exciting the neuron and causing it to fire b)They cause a change in the electrical potential, either exciting or inhibiting the next neuron. C)They cause a change in the electrical potential, inhibiting the neuron and stopping it from fi d)They connect with the appropriate receptor on the postsynaptic neuronarrow_forward
- Name the three catecholamine neurotransmitters.arrow_forwardA patient has been exposed to the organophosphate pesticide malathion,which inactivates acetylcholinesterase. Which of the following symptoms would you predict: blurring of vision, excess tear formation, frequent or involuntary urination, pallor (pale skin), muscle twitching, orcramps? Would atropine be an effective drug to treat the symptoms?(See Clinical Impact 16.2 for the action of atropine.) Explain.arrow_forwardWhich statement is true regarding the neuron synapse? B) binging of a neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic neuron membrane can generate an action potential in that neuron C) the binding of a neurotransmitter always causes an excitatory effect on that cell, never inhibitory D) the presynaptic and pastsynaptic neuron membranes are not physically separatedarrow_forward
- Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by poisoning blocks neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction because (a) ACh is no longer released by the presynaptic terminal, (b) ACh synthesis in the presynaptic terminal is blocked, (c) ACh is not degraded, hence prolonged depolarization is enforced onthe postsynaptic cell, (d) ACh is blocked from attaching to the postsynaptic ACh receptors.arrow_forwardZoloft, an antidepressant, inhibits uptake of serotonin across the ____ membrane and ____ the concentration of this neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft. A)pre-synaptic; decreases B)post-synaptic; decreases C) pre-synaptic; increases D)post-synaptic; increasesarrow_forwardIf you increase the amount of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft, how would you expect the post-synaptic potential (PSP) to change? a) The PSP would be stronger b) The PSP would change from depolarizing to hyperpolarizing c) The PSP would not changearrow_forward
