Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The speed of synaptic transmission at gap junctions is faster than at chemical synapses
B. At a chemical synapse in the brain, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron always leads to an EPSP in the postsynaptic neuron.
C. At gap junctions, current flow is always in one direction.
D. Chemical synapses permit direct flow of current between two neurons.
Homework Answers
A.The speed of synaptic transmission at gap junctions(Electrical junctions)is faster than at chemical synapses.Electrical synapse happened by passing Ionic current to flow through gaps.
So, A is CORRECT.
B.Ata chemical synapse in the brain, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron wil not always leads to an EPSP in the postsynaptic neuron.
So, B is WRONG.
C. Gap junctions which are seen in Electrical Synapse, where the current flow is BIDIRECTIONAL
In Chemical synapse it is UNIDIRECTIONAL.
So, C is WRONG.
D.chemical synapses doesn't permit direct flow of current between two neurons.
Whereas electrical synapses permits direct flow of current between two neurons.
So, D is WRONG.

Which of the following statements correctly characterizes synapses? Synaptic vesicles constitute important features for transmission in both chemical and electrical synapses A postsynaptic neuron typically receives input from different presynaptic axons that are either excitatory or inhibitory, but it cannot receive inputs from both types Synaptic delay is approximately the same for both chemical and electrical synapses Receptors can provide a gating function with respect to a given ion channel The mechanism of indirect gating of ions normally does not...

66) The successful transmission of a nervous impulse to a muscle fiber leads to the release of Calcium (Ca2+) from the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum. The role of Ca2+ in muscle contraction is: Bind to myosin, which cleaves ATP such that energy can be input into the myosin “heads”, allowing it to perform a power stroke needed to move actin. Ca2+ acts in a process that breaks up actin filaments, removing subunits to make them shorter and thus leading to the contraction...

The Brain on Mind Altering Drugs Psychoactive drugs alter brain function by acting at synapses in the brain, where they may mimic, enhance, or block the effects of natural signaling molecules (neurotransmitters). The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a particularly important role in creating the dependency aspect of both drug and behavioral addictions. Natural behaviors which enhance survival and/or reproduction, such as eating or engaging in sex, result in a surge of dopamine. Normally, this response helps individuals learn to repeat beneficial...
