Question 18

action potential

Answer 18

1) Synaptic vesicles filled with NT, fuse with cell membrane and burst, releasing NTs into synaptic cleft
2) NTs travel across synaptic cleft and bind with postsynaptic cell binding sites
3) Electrical charge within cell body
4) New Action potential begins in post synaptic cell

Question 19

Excitatory Synaptic Potential

Answer 19

increase rate of action potentials by allowing NA+ into cell

Inhibitory Synaptic Potential

Answer 20

decrease rate of action potentials by allowing Cl- into cell or K+ out of cell

Question 21

Diffusion

Answer 21

NTs drift away into larger extracellular space

Question 22

Degradation

Answer 22

chemical reaction causes the NTs to break down

Question 23

Reuptake

Answer 23

NTs reabsorbed back into the presynaptic cell
