There are no disadvantages of synapses that I am aware of, but without synapses you would die.
This is wrong... there are many disadvantages of synapses... Drugs such as cocaine, speed, crystal meth and so on increase the production of noradrenalin (a neurotransmitter) causing increased alertness, heightened emotions, high blood pressure, irritability and later depression and insomnia...
to me this is a disadvantage...
there are some more... i got it from my year 9 science text book
What else can I help you with?
Where does synapses take place?
The synapses take place in the spinal cord
How many synapses does the brain have?
The brain is estimated to have around 100 trillion synapses. These synapses are the connections between neurons that allow them to communicate with each other.
Are there synapses in peripheral nervous system?
There are synapses between each and every neuron in the entire nervous system; so yes, there are synapses in the peripheral section of the nervous system.
What are specialized junctions between neurons called?
Specialized junctions between neurons are called synapses. Synapses allow neurons to communicate with each other by transmitting signals in the form of neurotransmitters. There are two main types of synapses: electrical synapses, where ions flow directly between neurons, and chemical synapses, where neurotransmitters are released to relay the signal.
Can humans synapse?
Yes, humans can form synapses. Synapses are junctions between neurons that allow for communication in the nervous system through the release and reception of neurotransmitters. The strength and efficiency of synapses can change based on experience and learning.
Why does selective blocking of inhibitory synapses lead to muscle spasms?
Selective blocking of inhibitory synapses can lead to muscle spasms because inhibitory synapses normally help balance the activity of excitatory synapses. When inhibitory synapses are blocked, there is an imbalance in neuronal activity, leading to increased excitation of motor neurons and muscles. This imbalance can result in uncontrolled and excessive muscle contractions, which manifest as muscle spasms.
What reactions leap across synapses?
Reactions don't leap across synapses but neurotransmitters will diffuse across the synaptic cleft.
Which system involves a synapse?
All nerves have synapses, which are where the nerve junctions are located, so the nervous system involves synapses.
The venom of the black widow spider causes violent muscle contractions by flooding synapses with?
It floods the synapses with Acetycholine or ACh.
What has the author U Sandbank written?
U. Sandbank has written: 'The development of synapses' -- subject(s): Nervous system, Synapses
What make us think?
Synapses.
What OPEN do?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
