AOS1-B&NS- Process Of Neurotransmissions

Question 0

2).

Answer 0

The information travels via the soma then along the axon as an action potential (message is the action potential)

Question 1

1).

Answer 1

Neural information is received in the dendrites of the neuron

Question 2

3).

Answer 2

The neural impulse reaches the axon terminals and axon buttons

Question 3

4).

Answer 3

Synaptic buttons release neurotransmitters that travel across the gap and bind to receptor sites on the dendrites of the receiving neuron

Question 4

5).

Answer 4

Neural information crosses the synaptic gap. Here the impulse changes from electrical to chemical

Question 5

6).

Answer 5

An inhibitory effect can occur which blocks the receiving neuron from firing, or an excitatory effect can occur where the neural impulse in the receiving neuron is stimulated (ALL OR NOTHING PRINCIPLE)

Question 6

Inhibitory effect

Answer 6

Blocks the receiving neuron from firing

Question 7

Excitatory effect

Answer 7

Neural impulse in the receiving neurons is stimulated
