The surface on a neuron that discharges synaptic vesicles is the?
Presynaptic membrane
What is an example of a presynaptic cell?
a neuron
Through the membrane of a resting neuron highly permeable to potassium ions its membrane potential does not exactly match the equilibrium potential for potassium because the neuronal membrane is?
Slightly permeable to sodium ions.
What is an autoreceptor?
An autoreceptor is a receptor which is situated in the terminal of a presynaptic nerve cell, sensitive to neurotransmitters released by the neuron in whose membrane the autoreceptor sits.
Are the Autoreceptors are located on the presynaptic membrane?
Yes, Autoreceptors are located at the receptor site on the presynaptic neuron. They provide feedback on the amount of neurotransmitter release in the synaptic cleft in order to regulate its level through the activity of G proteins and second messengers.

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.
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.
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 does an impulse travel from a presynaptic neuron to a postsynaptic neuron?
When the action potential reaches the button(axon terminal) of the presynaptic neuron the depolarization causes voltage gated calcium channels to open increasing intracellular calcium content. This causes synaptic vesicles to fuse to the membrane and release neurotransmitters that bind to the post synaptic neuron and create a chemical action potential.

Slightly permeable to sodium ions.
What is an autoreceptor?
An autoreceptor is a receptor which is situated in the terminal of a presynaptic nerve cell, sensitive to neurotransmitters released by the neuron in whose membrane the autoreceptor sits.
Part of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses?
Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
What part of the neuron sends information to others?
Presynaptic neuron sends postsynaptic receives
Are the Autoreceptors are located on the presynaptic membrane?
Yes, Autoreceptors are located at the receptor site on the presynaptic neuron. They provide feedback on the amount of neurotransmitter release in the synaptic cleft in order to regulate its level through the activity of G proteins and second messengers.
