What part of the of the neuron receives impulses?
receptors, typically on dendrites
Where are the receptors for neurotransmitters located?
Receptors for the various neurotransmitters are located on both the presynaptic and postsynaptic nerve terminals of the neuron.
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron are called?
nuerotransmitter
What happens when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron?
The cell membrane becomes more permeable to the sodium potassium ions.
What part of the of the neuron receives impulses?
receptors, typically on dendrites
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
What determines the effect that a neurotransmitter has on the postsynaptic neuron?
the receptors on the postsynaptic membrane
Where are the receptors for neurotransmitters located?
Receptors for the various neurotransmitters are located on both the presynaptic and postsynaptic nerve terminals of the neuron.
What are the small branchlike structures of the neuron that receive signals from receptors or other resources?
Dendrite
What type of neuron that sends information from sensory receptors toward the central nervous system?
Central nervous system....
What is the function of afferent neuron?
Carry nerve impulses from receptors toward the central nervous system.
Functions of the Dendrite?
Receptive region of neuron-- bear receptors for neurotransmitters released by other neurons.
Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron are called?
nuerotransmitter
What neuron comes between the sensory and motor neuron?
Essentially, it is the interneuron. The body has numerous sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are stimulated an send their signal to the central nervous system and synapse or connect with an interneuron which is the processing center. The interneuron then synapses or connects with the motor neuron which sends a message/instruction by way of the motor neuron to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, or glands. This is true, but to add more information, the Interneuron is also known as "relay neuron", "association neuron" or "local circuit neuron".Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron
Neurotransmitters find their way to and subsequently trigger firing of that neuron?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
How does serotonin receptor down-regulation have an antidepressant effect if it results in a decrease in post-synaptic neuron activation?
The serotonin receptor down-regulation has an antidepressant effect if it results in a decrease in post-synaptic neuron activation by activation of the 5-HT receptors within the rostral ventrolateral medulla.
