2- (Indirect) Chemical transmission
A single presynaptic neuron can give?
2000 synaptic
A single post synaptic neuron can receive up to?

This type is the most common synapses?
Axodendritic
The axodendritic represents up to?
80-98% of all synapses
This is the most excitable ?
Axoaxonic
Represent from 2-20 % of all synapses?
Axosomatic
Least common and least numerous and most excitable synapses?
Axoaxonic
The most common and least excitable synapses?
Axodendritic
There are three types of synaptic vesicles?
1- Small clear vesicles
2- Small granular vesicles
3- Large granular vesicles
The small clear vesicles contain rapidly acting chemical transmitter like?
1- Acetylcholine
2- Glycine
3- Glutamate
4- GABA
The small granular vesicles contain?
Catecholamines (Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Dopamine)
The large granular vesicles contains slowly acting …… ?
Neuropeptide (like Hormones : anti diuretic hormone and oxytocin hormone)
Type of SNARE proteins?
1) v-SNARE: on the membrane of synaptic vesicles
2) t-SNARE: on the pre synaptic terminal membrane
GABA is?
Ionotropic receptor
