This depends on
the number of ion channels open. The lower

provide a low-resistance
path for current flow, electrically coupling
the cells that they join.

Answer 20

Gap junctions

Question 21

have a discontinuity between the cells

a barrier to direct electrical communication

Answer 21

chemical synapses

Question 22

Ways of How Neurotransmitter Works (2)

Answer 22

Ionotropic receptors
Metabotropic receptors

Question 23

produce fast changes in membrane potential (depolarization or hyperpolarization) by directly
increasing permeability to ions

Answer 23

Ionotropic receptors

Question 24

have relatively slow, long-lasting modulatory effects on synaptic processes; trigger a signaling cascade of second messengers in the postsynaptic cell

Answer 24

Metabotropic receptors

Question 25

is an increase in the probability that a cell will
generate an impulse (an action potential), or if the cell is already generating impulses, excitation causes an increase
in the impulse frequency.

Answer 25

Excitation

Question 26

by contrast, is a decrease in the probability of
impulse generation or a decrease in impulse frequency.

Answer 26

Inhibition

Question 27

are chemical messengers that carry, boost, and balance signals between neurons (also known as nerve cells) and target cells throughout the body.

Answer 27

Neurotransmitters

Question 28

like dopamine and
glutamate, typically act directly on neighboring cells.

Answer 28

Small-molecule transmitters

Question 29

small molecules like insulin and oxytocin, work more subtly, modulating, or adjusting, how cells communicate at the synapse.

Answer 29

neuropeptides

Question 30

Criteria Neurotransmitter (4)

Answer 30

Presence of the chemical within the cell

Stimulus-dependent release

Action on the postsynaptic cell

mechanism for removal

Question 31

These types of neurotransmitters have excitatory effects on
