- List the steps involved in transmitting a nerve impulse from one neuron to another.arrow_forwardWhat is Neuroeffector Communication?arrow_forwardParkinson's Disease Parkinson's disease is neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. Most people affected with Parkinson's disease demonstrate rigidity, slow movement, and shaking. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur when the cells that produce dopamine neurotransmitters die in the brain. Explain how the signal transmission at a synapse in an individual with Parkinson's disease is different than an unaffected individual. Describe the normal process of signal transmission at a synapse. Start with the arrival of an action potential at the axon terminal and include the name of the neurotransmitter that is affected by Parkinson's disease. Explain how the process is different in individuals affected with Parkinson's disease.arrow_forward
- Explain how a polarized axon responds to stimulation.arrow_forwardList the effects of sympathoadrenal stimulation on different effector organs. In each case, indicate whether the effect is due to alpha- or beta-receptor stimulation.arrow_forwardWhat is quantal size and quantal content and how do these parameters relate to the average amplitude of synaptic response?arrow_forward
- Does the action potential in a single axon increase in amplitude when the stimulus amplitude is increased? Does the amplitude of the CAP increase because more fibers are firing, or the amplitude of the action potentials from single fibers are increasing, or a combination of both?arrow_forwardWhat component serves as the receptor? What component serves as the control center? What component serves as the effector?arrow_forwardMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a disorder that causes the destruction of myelin sheaths surrounding neurons. People with MS display many symptoms, including slurred speech, double vision, and poor muscle coordination. What is the direct effect of MS on nerve impulse transmission? Select one: The movement of impulses along neurons is slower than normal. Dendrites cannot be stimulated by acetylcholine, therefore impulses are not generated in neurons. The threshold level of stimulation for neurons is greater than normal. Axons cannot sectete acetylcholine, therefore impulses are not able to travel across synapses. Oarrow_forward
