NSC EXAM #1 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 2024/2025 the big picture of synaptic transmission - ANSWERSthumbtack causes mechanically-gated Na+ channels to open, sending an action potential down the axon using voltage-gated Na+/K+ channels, causing voltage-gated Ca2+ channels to open and activate snare proteins that bind synaptic vesicles to the membrane and causes release of NT importance of synapses - ANSWERSrich diversity allows for complex behavior; place where most psychoactive drugs act; defec...

What is Neurotransmission?:  Neuron → Neuron/Cell/Organ/Muscle/Etc. Communication  Point of ‘Communication’ = The “Synapse” Terminology:  Pre-Synaptic Neuron: The ‘Sender’ Neuron  Synaptic Cleft: The ‘Gap’ Between cells  Post-Synaptic Cell: The ‘Receiver’ Cell  Synaptic Potential: The ‘Drive’ for Transmission (that mobilizes the synaptic vesicles to pre-synaptic membrane). Neuron-Neuron Neurotransmission:  Note: Neurons Synapse with Each ...
