What else can I help you with?
Is synaptic transmission always from pre to post synaptic?
Yes
What is the difference between synaptic and nerve impulse transmission?
Synaptic transmission is chemical, while nerve impulse or axonal transmission is electrical.
Does synaptic transmission involve electrical information to pass from terminal button to dendrites of another neuron?
No, synaptic transmission is chemical, not 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.
The neural message being delivered in a synaptic transmission is carried across the synaptic gap by?
Chemical Substance
What is the chemical responsible for most synaptic transmission in neurons?
acetylcholine
What is the small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons?
The small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons is called the synaptic cleft. This cleft allows for the transmission of chemical signals, known as neurotransmitters, from the pre-synaptic neuron to the post-synaptic neuron to occur. The neurotransmitters are released by the pre-synaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron to transmit the signal.
Which is not an event that must occur in a normal cycle of synaptic transmission?
absorption of the neurotransmitter
The part of the neuron that facilitates synaptic transmission of a signal to another neuron is?
Soma
What are similarities neuro synaptic transmission and nerve conductive have?
both are electrical movement
Synaptic vesicles are found in what?
Synaptic vesicles are found in the axon terminals of nerve cells.
What is the Process by which ACh gets across cleft?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is released from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft. It then binds to ACh receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing ion channels to open and allowing for the transmission of the nerve impulse. Any remaining ACh is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, ensuring that the signal is quickly terminated.
