What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
What is accomplished by synaptic transmission?
Synaptic transmission, also called neurotransmission, refers to the process wherein neurotransmitters are released by a neuron to activate the receptors of another neuron. Communication between two nerve cells is accomplished by synaptic transmission.
What is one dietary factor that affects synaptic transmission of nerve impulses?
vitamen b12
A nerve poison that blocked neurotransmitter receptors on the dendrites would?
prevent transmission across the synaptic cleft
Synaptic vesicles are found in what?
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.
What part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signals is called?
the part that facilitates the the transmission of signals is collectively known as the axon but more peculiarly known as the nerve endings.
Where do nerve impulses leave the neuron?
Nerve impulses are transmitted down the axon and leave the neuron via the terminal bouton at the synaptic interface, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to affect the post-synaptic cell..
What is the effect of the myelin sheath on synaptic transmission?
Myalin sheath gives insulation to the neurons. They also hasten the nerve conduction by saltatory conduction.
How exitatory and inhibitory interact in normal nerve function?
propagation of impulse pre synaptic to post synaptic
What is the normal sequence of events that occur during synaptic transmission at a motor end plate?
1. Nerve impulse reaches synaptic terminal. 2. Synaptic vesicles move to and merge with the presynaptic cell membrane of the motor neuron. 3. Acetylcholine is released into and diffuses across the synaptic cleft. 4. Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the postsynaptic cell membrane of the muscle fiber.
Neurotransmitters are released from what end of an axon?
synaptic vesicles
What causes calcium ions to enter the synaptic bulb?
The nerve signal arrives at a synaptic knob and causes calcium channels to open. This allows the calcium ions to enter the synaptic knob. Calcium ions entry into the synaptic knob triggers exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, which release acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft.
