Synapse
Give this one a try later!
a specialized site where the neuron communicates with another cell
Axon
Give this one a try later!
the extension of a neuron, ending in branching terminal fibers, through
which messages pass to other neurons or to muscles or glands
Working tissue cells
,Give this one a try later!
Cells of working tissue
Post-synaptic membrane potential
Give this one a try later!
Change in membrane potential of post synaptic cleft
Inhibitory neurotransmitters
Give this one a try later!
Cause hyperpolarization of postsynaptic membranes
Suppress action potentials; open anion channels
Nernst equation
Give this one a try later!
Eion= 61.5log(CG outside/CG inside)
- tells us CG in mV AND tells us the equilibrium potential for that ion
Postsynaptic cleft
, Give this one a try later!
neuron that receives the signal from across the synaptic cleft
Passive transport
Give this one a try later!
the movement of substances across a cell membrane without the use of
energy by the cell
Sodium potassium pump
Give this one a try later!
a carrier protein that uses ATP to actively transport sodium ions out of a cell
and potassium ions into the cell, both against their concentration gradients
excitatory neurotransmitters
Give this one a try later!
Cause depolarization of postsynaptic membranes
Promote action potentials; open cation channels
Neurotransmitter vesicles
