View the University of Michigan Webscope (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervefiber) to see an electron micrograph of a cross-section of a myelinated nerve fiber. The axon contains microtubules and neurofilaments, bounded by a plasma membrane known as the axolemma. Outside the plasma membrane of the axon is the myelin sheath, which is composed of the tightly wrapped plasma membrane of a Schwann cell. What aspects of the cells in this image react with the stain that makes them the deep, dark, black color, such as the multiple layers that are the myelin sheath?
Clostridium tetani toxin blocks the exocytosis of GABA. A. What anatomical part of a pre-synaptic neuron would be affected by this? B. How would a post-synaptic neuron’s likelihood of experiencing an action potential be affected by this toxin? C. Explain, using at least TWO of the following terms: threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, summation, IPSP, EPSP, exocytosis
Why was the postsynaptic CA1 neuron voltage clamped to +30 mV? To stimulate insertion of AMPA receptors into the postsynaptic membrane To move NDA receptors into the synapse from an extrasynaptic site To cause coordination between the pre- and postsynaptic neuron To increase conductance of the NMDAR by removing the Mg?* block To stimulate AMPA receptors, which in turn activate NMDA Rs Explain the results obtained when AP5 was applied while the neuron was held at +30 mV. What is the interpretation of the result?
The giant axon of the squid (Figure Q11–3) occu-pies a unique position in the history of our understandingof cell membrane potentials and nerve action. When anelectrode is stuck into an intact giant axon, the membranepotential registers –70 mV. When the axon, suspended in abath of seawater, is stimulated to conduct a nerve impulse,the membrane potential changes transiently from –70 mVto +40 mV.
Certain types of neurotoxins prevent depolarization of the axon. What specific type of channel is impaired?
IPSP could result from :-a- opening of K + channelsb- opening of ligand-gated cation channelsc- closure of Cl- channelsd- closure of potential-gated Ca ++ channels
Compound X has been shown to block voltage-gated K+ channels with an IC50 of 0.1 mM. Which of the following is the most likely to occur in neurones following application of 0.03 mM X? Action potentials would be prolonged and the resting potential would be depolarised. Action potentials would be prolonged but the resting potential would remain the same. Neither resting potential nor action potentials would be affected because the concentration of X is less than the IC50 value. The resting membrane potential would depolarise but there would be no effect on action potentials.
An enriched environment promotes growth of axons and dendrites in laboratory rodents. What is known to be one mportant reason for this effect?
Calculate the signal attenuation along a neuron of radius 5 um after the signal has travelled a distance 100 um. The ratio of the axoplasma resitivity to the wall resiativity is 0.01.
Please ASAP. thanku The response of ligand gated ion channels is transient because ___ (can choose more than one option) a. ligand unbinds and is claered from teh synapse quickly b. the channels desensitize c. the cahnnels inactivate d. amino terminus is truncated
Assume presynaptic excitatory neuron A terminates on a postsynaptic cell near the axon hillock and presynaptic excitatory neuron B terminates on the same postsynaptic cell on a dendrite located on the side of the cell body opposite the axon hillock. Explain why rapid firing of presynaptic neuron A could bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold through temporal summation, thus initiating an action potential, whereas firing of presynaptic neuron B at the same frequency and the same magnitude of EPSPs may not bring the postsynaptic neuron to threshold.
Many neurons have only a single axon, but many terminals at the end of the axon. How does this end structure of the axon support its function?
