What is synaptic facilitation?
an action will happen cause of axo-axonal syanapse,which can facilitate the nerve impulse transmitting from presynaptic membrane to post synaptic membrane. In the axo-axonal synapse one axon is secreting serotonin which can influence to close some of K+ channels in the other neuron to maintain a prolonged action potential by slowing down the repolarization. as long as action potential is there it can stimulate the presynaptic membrane to release neurotransmitters towards postsyanptic membrane so prolonged action potential will help to stimulate more the Post synaptic membrane and give a strong impulse this is called presynaptic facilitation
What would happen if a chemically gated sodium channel in the postsynaptic membrane were completely blocked?
The nervous system would not work if ion channels were blocked. It would be like parking your car on a hose and trying to get water out of the hose.
What is the sequence of events in the process of synaptic transmission?
Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals across a synapse. In a three neuron loop the series of events that happen in synaptic transmission are as follows: Neuron 1 sends an electrical signal (action potential) down its axon towards the synapse. The action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) from the terminal button of Neuron 1 into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of Neuron 2. This binding triggers a new action potential in Neuron 2 which travels down its axon. The action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) from the terminal button of Neuron 2 into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of Neuron 3. This binding triggers a new action potential in Neuron 3 which travels down its axon. The action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) from the terminal button of Neuron 3 into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of Neuron 1 closing the loop.This series of events is repeated continuously allowing for the communication between neurons in a three neuron loop.
What are the two elements needed for neural communication to happen?
Neural communication requires an electrical signal to travel down the axon of a neuron, which is generated by changes in ion concentrations across the cell membrane. At the synapse, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and received by receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit the signal.
What will happen if plasma membrane is ruptures?
lysis
What happen to the portion of the cell membrane that surrounds a large molecules during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
What will happen to the cell if the plasma membrane is damage?
it dies.
What would happen if a chicken egg does not have any shell membrane?
If there is no shell membrane, then there will also be no shell. What comes out will be just whites and yolks. Fortunately it does not happen very often.
What happen to the cell if cell membrane not a semi-permeable membrane?
The cell would die as it couldn't maintain homeostasis.
What might happen to filtration if the water pressure damaged the membrane?
The lage particles would pass throug the membrane
What would happen if there were Nuclear membrane in a cell?
it will blow up
Why does defusion happen?
To let things through the cell membrane
