27
Q

What is synaptobrevin?

A

a vSNARE

28
Q

Arrange the events of a synapse in the correct order beginning with the action potential arriving at the axon terminal

A

1) AP arrives at terminal
2) voltage gated calcium channels open
3) calcium influx into the presynaptic terminal
4) vesicles merge with presynaptic membrane
5) NT released
6) NT bind with receptors on postsynaptic membrane
7) ligand gated ionotropic sodium receptors open
8) sodium influx into the postsynaptic neuron
9) postsynaptic membrane depolarizes
10) NT is removed from the synapse ending its effect

29
Q

What is the correct order of vesicular exocytosis?

A

1) vesicle docks at active zone on presynaptic membrane
2) vSNAREs and tSNAREs intertwine
3) vesicle fuses with presynaptic membrane
4) vesicle releases NT

30
Q
