Physiology Flashcards
rough er contained within the soma of a neuron is also called
Nissl substance
describe the different types of neuron (based on the number of neurites)
name the 4 function areas of the neuron
where would golgi type I and golgi type II neurons be found?
describe an action potential using the terms overshoot, undershoot, resting potential, threshold potential, voltage dependent Na+ and K+ channels
….. Conduction is when the action potential ‘jumps’ from one node of Ranvier to the next
saltatory
name the 3 types of synapse
explain the mechanism of exitory and inhibitory synapses and the neurotransmitters they use
what are the two membrane differentiations?
- presynaptically, the active zones around which vesicles cluster
- postsynaptically, the postsynaptic density containing neurotransmitter receptors
Synaptic integration.
What is spacial and temporal summation?
list the differnt Amino acids, Amines and Peptides used as neutransmitters,
What receptors do they work on?
How are they secreted?
schwann cells and oligodendrocytes are both types of……
