The amount of calcium ions which come into the axon terminal after an action potential arrives, which depends in part upon the concentration of calcium ions inside and outside the neuron, and also upon the amplitude and shape of the arriving action potential (short duration AP spend less time above the Ca ion gate activation threshold, resulting in fewer gates being opened, therefore less Ca allowed in).

Which cranial nerve is responsible for adjusting amount of light entering eye?

The amount of light is actually controlled by the iris sphincter muscle, or the iris. It is controlled by parasympathetic fibers that originate from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, travel along the oculomotor nerve (CN III), synapse in the ciliary ganglion, and then enter the eye via the short ciliary nerves.


How is the activity of the kidney controlled?

The water regulation in a kidney is controlled by the hypothaelemeus which is located in the brain, and it helps to regulate the amount of water present in a kidney comparative to the water that is released in a normal cycle.


What means of membrane transport is used to release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft?

Neurotransmitters are released from the nerve terminals by a specialized exocytosis process, synaptic vesicles. These are small nearly uniform capsules that join with the cell membrane to expel their contents. Release is both quantal (set amount) and mediated by calcium.
