Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Define term synapse.
Concept Introduction:
The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.
brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry a message from.
different regions of the body. The gap between two neuron at its junction is synapse.
(b)
Interpretation:
Define term receptor.
Concept Introduction:
The cells are enclosed in a semipermeable cell membrane. This membrane does not allow the entry of the molecules inside it. Hence, the cell membrane posses many receptors, where the ligands can bind to generate a cellular response.
(c)
Interpretation:
Define the term presynaptic.
Concept Introduction:
The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.
brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry a message from.
different regions of the body. The gap between two neuron at its junction is synapse.
(d)
Interpretation:
Define term postsynaptic.
Concept Introduction:
The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.
brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry a message from.
different regions of the body. The gap between two neuron at its junction is synapse.
(e)
Interpretation:
Define term vesicles.
Concept Introduction:
The exocytosis is a process, by which a cell sends a chemical capable of eliciting a response in a membrane-bound vesicle. The endocytosis is a process, by which a cell uptake a membrane-bound vesicle.
