Chapter 13, Problem 17RQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect on the release of P’s neurotransmitter levels.

Introduction: Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules that are released by the neurons in response to a stimulus which excites the other neurons and brings about a nerve signal impulse transmission.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of M’s neurotransmitter on the membrane potential of P’s synaptic membrane.

Introduction: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) helps in maintaining a steady state in the internal environment, which is called homeostasis. The two branches of ANS are the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. These systems control the different responses to different stimuli.

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. thanks a lot in advance:)
Photoreceptor cells form glutamatergic synapses onto bipolar cells and when photoreceptor cells are depolarized the release of glutamate into the synapse is increased. One class of bipolar cells, (called OFF bipolar cells) have excitatory glutamate receptors in their post-synaptic specialization. What happens to the membrane potential of OFF bipolar cells when photoreceptors are illuminated?
apucreceptors ava ble at the synapse are reflected in this number. Question 2: In this chapter, we discussed a GABA-gated ion channel that is permeable to Cl. GABA also activates a G-protein-coupled receptor called the GABA receptor, which causes potassium-selective B channels to open. What effect would GABAB receptor activation have on the membrane potential? GABAB receptor activation causes potassium-selective channels to open. As a result this bringhs the
