3 - neural signaling, chemical synapse Flashcards
ligand gated ion channels
IONTROPIC RECEPTORS
to which neurotransmitters can bind to
4 types of ion channels
gated, non-gated, ligand-gated and strech gated
gated ion channel are triggered by the following mechanism
VOLTAGE
when voltage changes they open
ligand gated ion channels open when …
chemical (neurotransmitter) binds to them.
strech gated ion channels are sensitive to
stress
4 types of chemical synapses
axo-dendritic, axo-somatic, axo-axonic, dendre-dendritic
axo-dendritic chemical synapes, the axon synapes to ..
the next neurons dendrites
SO THE BASIC ONES
axo-somatic chemical synapses, the axon of neuron A synapes to…
the cell body (soma) of neuron B
axo-axonic chemical synapses, 2 axons synapse …
ON EACHOTHER (2 different neurons)
- can make next neuron releasemore or less neurotransmitter
A influences input of B to C
dendro-dendritic chemical synapses
dendrites of 2 neurons are connected to each other, they can communicate
