Synaptic trasmission

Question 1

How neurons communicate to each other?

Answer 1

neural networks

Question 2

What it’s the name of the tiny gap between neurons ?

Answer 2

synapse

Question 3

signals between neurons

Answer 3

transmitted chemically - in a process called synapse transmission.

Question 4

signals within neurons

Answer 4

transmitted electrically

Question 5

synapse transmission process.

Answer 5

When the action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, it triggers the synaptic vesicles to release neurotransmitters.
This in the synaptic gap between the pre and the post-synaptic cells.
The neurotransmitters bind to Post synaptic receptor sites on the membrane of the post-synaptic neuron’s dendrite.

Question 6

end of the process

Answer 6

The effects are terminated by a process called reuptake, where the neurotransmitters are taken up by the pre-synaptic neuron where they are again of transmission begins in the post-synaptic neuron.

Question 7

label a synapse.

Answer 7

axon
vesicle - presynaptic nerve
synaptic cleft
postsynaptic nerve - receptors

Question 8

Which direction do neurons travel at the synapse

Answer 8

Neurons can travel just in one direction

Question 8

why can they travel in just one direction?

Answer 8

1 - Vesicles that contain NT are only found the presynaptic membrane
2 - NT receptors are only found postsynaptic membrane
- The binding of NT onto receptors allows the information to be transmitted
- Dendrites carry information to the cell body and the axon carries information away from cell body
