11.3 Flashcards
Is the synaptic cleft chemical or electricial
Chemical
What depends on release diffusion and necrotic binding of neurotransmitters
Synaptic cleft
What are the three ways neurotransmitters are removed
Reuptake
Degradation
Diffusion
Reuptake of neurotransmitters is done by
Astrocytes or axon terminal
Degradation of neurotransmitters is done by
Enzymes
Diffusion of neurotransmitters is done by
Taking them away from the synaptic cleft
What is the time needed for neurotransmitters to be released
Diffuse across synapse
Bind to receptors
Synaptic delay
Neurotransmitters receptors cause what postsynapticly
Graded potential
What are the two types of postsynaptic potentials
EPSP
iPSP
What’s EPSP
Excitatory postsynaptic potential
What’s iPSP
Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials
What are the two types of summation
Temporal
Spatial
What’s temporal summation mean
Over time
What’s spatial summation mean
Over space
Which synapes utilize neurotransmitters?
