Exam 2 Flashcards
Synapse
Physical connection of two neurons that transfer neuronal information from one to the other
Pre synaptic
part of synapse sending the info
post synaptic
part of synapse recieving the info
Snaptogenesis
formation of synapses
Snaptic specificity
formation of correct and not incorrect synapseds
PSD
post snaptic density
NT receptors and number of protens - helps modulate
Mitochondria in presnaptic
make energy (ATPase pumps need, exocotiosis, etc.)
most important
Reupstake (in vessicles)
need high energy sourse to pump NT into vessicels (high and constant demand)
Neurotransmiter transporters
reuptake (if not would stay in cleft and bind causing AP)
Snaptic vessicels
some with NT in it - fuse with membrane
Chemical synapses
clear structural difference between pre and post synaptic
chemical elicit comunication
primaraly in nervous system (slower)
easier to see - easier to study
Electrical synapses
No clear structural differences between post and pre synaptic
Ions travel between
Primaraly used for synchronization
more present then chemical synapsed
connect with gap junctions
speed much faster
types of chemical synapses
excitatory and inhibitory
Vesicle binding to target plasma membrane
protein targets on vesicle and membrane
zippering of proteins (if inhibit this than inhibit NT from releasing)
Why spontanious relese of NT/ vessicles
need to be primed for when needed it (so would not want to completely shut of ever, would want to modulate)
spontaious relese
vessicle relase NT not in secronized fassion
Patch clamp
suck up part of membrane
Need for reflux reaction
exitatory neusons and inhibitoyu neurons (so not sence heat once move off)
ionotropic receptor
assocated with actual firing event
on or off
metabatropic receptor
modulate ion changels
sould be this much on or this much off
Ach (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
Exitatory
Alz
Dopamine (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
Inhibitory
Parkinsins
Serotonin (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
Inhibitory
depression, mood disorders
Norepinephrine (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
Excitatory
mental disorders, depression
GABA (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
Inhibioty
anxiety
Endorphins (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
Inhibitory
body experences pain
Glutamate (Function, Effect of Deficit, Effect of Surplus, Agonist, antagonist)
exitatory
(seesures?)
Steps of Synaptogenesis
1 Induce membrane contact
2 Recognition of synaptic partner
3 Induce release of vesicle
4 Depolarize post synaptic cell
5 Recruit PSD scaffold proteins
6 Aggregate PSD receptors
7 Aggregate pre synaptic vesicles
Synaptic specificity is generated by
the synaptic guidepost protein SYG2 and its receptor SYG1
Why does the nervous system need glial cells
speed, saltatory conduction, nodes of Ranveer
microglia deffectency disseases
Retts syndrome
Oligodendrocytes mylonate the
CNS
Node is filled with
specific protiens
Na chnnels important for AP
Para node - cells interact with membrane (axon) itself - connecting two processes
also juxtaparanode
Oligodenrocyltes precurosr cell makes
olig progen cell
differentate into immature/premylanting olig
mylanating olig procues
mylen sheath that wraps around the acon
Nodes of Ranvere
area between two mylen sheaths
motor learning required
olig
MYRF
produce new mylen
genetic mutant only prevents new mylen - impared learning
how many mylen sheaths can one olig porduce
more than one for olig
only one for schawan cell
Negitives of mylenation and learning
continuously mynlating, cannot modulate neuons, take up unessary space
If Olig help in learning they cannot be
fully set/compleetly mylenating
(but mylen is esablshed at birth)
