The surface on a neuron that discharges synaptic vesicles is the?
Presynaptic membrane
What portion of a neuron forms the presynaptic neuronal membrane?
Terminal Button
What is the presynaptic knob ca2?
Your question isn't very clear.... Presynaptic knob is the neurone before the synapse. Postsynaptic knob is the neurone after the synapse. Calcium ions diffuse into the presynaptic knob down their concentration gradient when an impulse arrives at the presynaptic knob. This causes the vesicles to move towards the presynaptic membrane and fuse with it. This releases the neurotransmitter (e.g. Ach). The Ach diffuses down their concentration gradient in the synaptic cleft then binds with receptors on the post synaptic membrane. This binding causes the Na+ ion channels to open, and the influx of Na+ ions causes depolarisation, and a new action potential in the postsynaptic knob. Then the acetate and choline diffuses back into the presynaptic membrane and is recombined using ATP.
Where do synaptic vesicles discharge their contents by exocytosis?
in the presynaptic membrane :)
What causes calcium channels in the synaptic knob to open?
depolarization of the presynaptic membrane due to an arriving action potential

How do Presynaptic neurons release neurotransmitters?
They don't, the neurotransmitters stay on either side of the synapse. Neurotransmitters are released when the synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic neuron's membrane, so as to release them into the synaptic cleft.

depolarization of the presynaptic membrane due to an arriving action potential
The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called?
neuromuscular junctions
How does neurotransmitters initiate depolarization?
Let's picture a presynaptic neuron, a synaptic cleft, and a postsynaptic neuron. An action potential reaches the terminal of a presynaptic neurone and triggers an opening of Ca ions enters into the depolarized terminal. This influx of Ca ions causes the presynaptic vesicles to fuse with the presynaptic membrane. This releases the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters diffuse through the synaptic cleft and bind to specific postsynaptic membrane receptors. This binding changes the receptors into a ion channel that allows cations like Na to enter into the postsynaptic neuron. As Na enters the postsynaptic membrane, it begins to depolarize and an action potential is generated.
How is this compound suited to this function of the membrane?
this Compound is suited to the function of the membrane Because its a inportant Function of the cell membrane
What is meant by membrane is membrane in cell function?
membrane, is a type of brain that function to think what to do.
Which ion causes neurotransmitters vesicles to fuse with the axons membrane during the conduction of a nerve impulse from one to the next?
Calcium ions cause the neurotransmitter vesicles to fuse with the axon terminal. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, voltage-gated calcium ion pores are opened, allowing calcium ions into the axon terminal. These ions initiate the release of neurotransmitter vesicles stored on elements of the cytoskeleton located near the presynaptic membrane; they then travel to the presynaptic membrane, where they first dock, and then fuse with the presynaptic membrane, forming an opening or pore through which the neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft.
Voltage regulated channels can be found where?
in the membrane that covers axonsThey are located in the axon hillock, nodes of Ranvier, and presynaptic terminal of the neuron.
