Synaptic transmition

Question 1

Synaptic transmition

Answer 1

the process which neighbouring neurons communicate with eachover by sending chemical msseges across the synapse that seperates them

Question 2

Synapse

Define

Answer 2

Where one neuron (presynaptic) can send a chemical messge to an adjacent neuron (postsynaptic)

Question 3

Synaptic transmition

Process

Answer 3

Action potential arrives at the axon terminal causing the vesciles to merge with the membrane causing the neurotransmitters to go into the synaptic cleft when they reach the neighbouring cell summation takes place

Question 4

Sumation

Define

Answer 4

When a neurotransmitter is positivley charged it will be able to pass through to the post synaptic neurone (Excitatory neurone), and the negatively charged will be used to equal it out (Inhibatory Neurone).
When the threshold is reached the new action potential will be formed
