What enters the axon during action potential?
Sodium ions enter the axon during action potential. This influx of sodium ions depolarizes the axon membrane, leading to the propagation of the action potential along the axon.
What ion causes presynaptic vesicle to fuse to axon membrane?
The calcium ion is responsible for causing the presynaptic vesicle to fuse to the axon membrane in a process called exocytosis. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, calcium ions enter the terminal and trigger the fusion of the vesicle with the axon membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
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?
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. At these junctions, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released from the presynaptic terminal and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, initiating muscle contraction.
What cell organelles are used to allow the dendrite to function?
Cell membrane, Nucleus, Cell wall, and axon terminal
What effect does an action potential have on a vesicle?
It causes the vesicles (which are in the axon terminal) to move to the cell membrane at the end of the axon terminal, where they merge with the cell membrane, releasing their load of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (gap), where they quickly diffuse to receptors in the post-synapticneuron's dendrites, initiating a graded potential which moves down the dendrites, along the soma,to the axon hillock where it can cause an action potential in that secondneuron.

When a neuron depolarizes this runs out of the axon?
Potassium.

When a neuron depolarizes this rushes out of the axon?
When a neuron depolarizes, sodium ions rush into the axon through voltage-gated sodium channels. This influx of sodium ions causes the inside of the neuron to become more positively charged, propagating the electrical signal along the axon in the form of an action potential.
What effect does an action potential have on a vesicle?
It causes the vesicles (which are in the axon terminal) to move to the cell membrane at the end of the axon terminal, where they merge with the cell membrane, releasing their load of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft (gap), where they quickly diffuse to receptors in the post-synapticneuron's dendrites, initiating a graded potential which moves down the dendrites, along the soma,to the axon hillock where it can cause an action potential in that secondneuron.
What is the process of a neurotransmitter being absorbed into the axon terminal?
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it triggers the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium ions enter the axon terminal, leading to the fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the synaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter is then released into the synaptic cleft where it can bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron.
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.
A synapse consist of?
A synapse is the connection between two neurons. It consists of the synaptic cleft (the physical gap between one neuron's axon and the other's dendrite). Neurotransmitters cross the gap from the axon to the dendrite and affect whether the next neuron fires.
What is the result of sodium ions moving across the axons membrane during an action potential?
a neural impulse(electrical impulse) is released and it travels down the axon of a neuron to the axon terminals. At the axon terminal there are sacs called synaptic vesicles which contain chemicals called neurotransmitters. When the neural impulse reaches the terminal it causes the sacs to move closer to the membrane of the axon terminal and release the neurotransmitters inside. Then neurotransmitters travel across the synaptic gap and stimulate the dendrites of another neuron and the whole process starts again.
The junction between a motor neurons axon and the muscle cell membrane is called?
neuromuscular junction or myoneural junction
