Sensory receptors Answer -Receptors convert stimuli in the environment into generator potential on sensory neuron -Sensory Neurons can be part of receptor or synapse on the receptor - different types of receptors are particularly sensitive to different, specific stimuli receptors cont. Answer -they can be free nerve endings on sensory nerves - receptors are sensitive to tissue damage and initiate sensation of pain via graded membrane potential charge -they can be specialized, independent...

EPSP SCON 361 TEST WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION...

NSC 3361 Exam 1 Questions and Answers All Correct Sequence of transmission at chemical synapse - Answer-1. Action potential travels down axon to axon terminal. 2. Voltage-gated calcium channels open and Ca2+ enters. 3. Synaptic vesicles fuse with membrane and release transmitter into the cleft. 4. Transmitter binds to post-synaptic receptor, causing EPSP or IPSP. 5. May bind to the presynaptic autoreceptors, decreasing release. 6. Neurotransmitter is inactivated by degradation or reuptak...

OCCTH 585 Midterm 1 Latest Version Already Passed evidence for a plastic brain - learning and memory - skill acquisition - development - aging - injury and disease - recovery neuron cell that allows transmission of information dendrites collects/receives information from other sources cell body integrates incoming signals and generates outgoing signal to the axon; powerhouse of the cell axon passes electrical signals (action potential) to dendrites of another cell or to...
