chemical synapse?

2. sodium ions rush into neuron's cytoplasm
3. action potential depolarizes the presynaptic membrane
4. ion channel opens to allow particular ion to enter cell
5. synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft

We want to add another inhibitory neuron to this circuit to increase the likelihood that neuron D will have an action potential. With which cell (A, B, C or D) should our new inhibitory neuron make a synapse to make it more likely that the post - synaptic neuron will have anaction potential?The diagram below shows a simple neural circuit with three pre - synaptic cells labelled 'A', 'B' and 'C', and a post - synaptic cell labelled 'D ' (see image below).

Some TRP channels are activated by spice molecules, such as garlic, chilli pepper, and wasabi. To study the effects of raw and cooked garlic on the opening of TRP channels, researchers isolated 10 neurons containing the TRP channels. Droplets of raw garlic extract were added to five of the neurons, and droplets of cooked garlic extract were added to the remaining five neurons. Both groups of neurons were monitored to see whether the channels were opening in response to the different types of garlic extracts. TRP channels were activated and opened in the neurons treated with raw garlic extract but not in the neurons treated with cooked garlic. Identify the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in the experiment described above.

- The correlation between neurons can explain the basis of the synaptic modification, that is, how much they can connect to each other or if they are not synchronized, how much they can lose or weaken their connections. • Draw a picture of an excitatory synapse such as glutamatergic with its receptors between the pre- and postsynaptic neuron. • Briefly explain what mechanisms involve neuronal plasticity and why synapses are enhanced or weakened.arrow_forwardWhich of the following would you NOT expect with respect to variation in neural conduction velocity? Neural conduction speed increases over developmental time as Schwann cells synthesize myelin sheaths, insulating neurons Neural conduction velocity is higher in invertebrate species with insulating sheaths functionally equivalent to vertebrate myelin Neurons and species with larger axon diameters should have greater conduction velocities Neural networks with greater serial processing (i.e., lines of connecting neurons) should have greater neural conduction velocities. The thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine and thyroxine) have a range of roles in regulating growth and metabolism.
