| Synapse is | the function connection between a presynaptic, and a postsynapic |
| The synapse in the CNS is | 2nd cell always a nueron |
| The synapse in the PNS is | 2nd cell be be a nueron or effector cell |
| NT can work 2 ways | 1. open memb directly, 2. indirectly |
| Chemical vs Electrical synapses | chemical w/ NT, Electrical, are rare in NS |
| 3 electrical synapses requirements | 2 cells must be about the same in size, 2. join by areas of low electrical resistance, and 3. impulses can be regenerated w/o interruption |

| What is a motor unit? | a motor neuron adn all the muscle fiber it innervates |
| What is a motor end plate? | specialized disk-shaped region @ axon terminal |
| What happens at depolarization | at theshold, voltage gate Na open, and driven inward, this makes the neuron more positive |
| Postive feedback loop | one some Na cannels open, so do more |
| Depolarization occur via | diffusion and DO NOT require active transport |
| The lenght of time that Na and K+ are open | doesnt matter |
| A stonger stimuls cannot produce | an AP of greater amplitutude |
| STIMULUS STRENGHT IS increased by | FREQUENCY |
| What happens when a collection of axon are stiumulated | different axons have different thresholds |
| If a weak stimulus is given to a collection of axons | only the ones w/ low thresholds will be actived |
| When an entire collection of axons is exposed to a stong stimulus | will active low threshold axons and high---all |
| Absolute Refractory period is | the interval when an axon is incapable of responding to another stimulus |
| Ball and chain effect relates to | Absoulte refractor period |
| Relative Refractory Period | transition of voltage-gated NA channels go from inactivate state====to closed state deals with K+ |
| Only can stimulate axon again when | more Na channels are closed, rather than inactivated |
| Why is relative refractory period only a theory? | b/c during this time K+ are still open, which makes it even harder to depolarize the membrane |
| What are cable properties? | ability of a neuron to transmit charges though its cytoplasm |
| Axon cable properties are poor b/c | cytoplasm has high resistance, and leaks through ion channels |
| What patch of membrane can produce an AP | any membrane that have Na and K |
| Are AP truly conducted? | NO each AP is separate complete event |
| What would happen if myelin sheats were continuous | AP wouldnt be produced |
| Interruption of myelin sheaths are called | nodes of Ranvier |
| What is highly concentrated at nodes of ranvier | Na cannels |
| What only occurs at nodes of Ranvier | AP |
| Saltatory conduction | AP leaping node to node |
| NO AP occur under | myelin, becuause Ions cant flow across myelinated membrane |
| The speed of AP conductance is increased by | 1. increased diameter, 2 myelination |
| The thinnest axons tend to be | unmyelinated |
| How does the Brain communicate | by NT's |
| What are Nuerotransmitters? | chemical mess. that change the electrical activity of neurons after they have bound to their specific Receptors on cell membranes |
| What are targets of drugs used to treat NS diseases | NT's |
| Explain Synatic and NT release | NT released from presynaptic, and diffuse acroos synaptic cleft, and bind to its R on postsynaptic |
| NT's alter 3 things | electrical, biochemical, or genetic alteration |
| Nonsynatic occurs | less frequenct |
| Nonsynaptic NT is released | at site w/o synaptic specializations, adn DIFFUSES R's at distant sites an on >l neuron |
| Synaptic vs. Nonsynaptic depends on | 1. the presynatic NT, 2. Type of Postsynaptic 3. Intracellular mechanism of NT in target cell |
| Who discovered NT, and when, and how | Otto Loewi, in 192, in a dream |
| How Otto Lowei set experiment | used frog hearts, one w/ vagus nerve, and another w/o but connected by saline |
| Results from Lwoewi, called this chemical Vagusstoff | AKA, Acetycholine |
| In order to be a Neurotransmitter must follow #6 Criteria | 1. Chemical must be produced by a neuron 2. The chemical must be found in a neuron 3. A neuron must release the chemical 4. When chemical released it must act on a post-synatpic and cause a biological effect 5. Chemical must be inactivated 6. |
