Question
Chapter 14.3, Problem 1AWYK
Summary Introduction
To write:
There is a second synapse in a "monosynaptic" reflex arc. identify its location.
Introduction:
The nervous system can be defined as a highly complex portion of an animal which directs its actions and sensory messages by transmitting signals to and from diverse body parts. The basic unit of the nervous system is known as the nerve cell or neuron.

- In a combination of excitatory or inhibitory synaptic connections the following is true it is poorly exemplified by the stretch reflex during a knee jerk in the stretch reflex circuit the biceps or flexor muscle gets activated in the stretch reflex circuit the quadriceps or extensor muscle gets activated an inhibitory interneuron inhibits the flexor motor neuron an inhibitory interneuron inhibits the extensor motor neuron motor neuronarrow_forwardBesides the standard post- and pre-synapse that exchange information, non neuronal cell types also play a role in synaptic transmission. One of those are called astrocytes and can form a tripartite synapse. Explain the roles of astrocytes in synaptic transmission.arrow_forwardAt a synapse, opening one sodium channel (for the normal duration before closing) causes a small depolarization. Opening a handful of sodium channels may cause a larger depolarization. Opening more channels may lead to an even larger depolarization, up to a point. Then the depolarization would be the same regardless of how many other sodium channels opened. Explain why the number of open channels increases the depolarization, and why it doesn’t matter beyond a certain point.arrow_forward
