transmission aross the synapse acetlycholine

Question 1

what is the neurotransmitter that the cholinergic synapse transports

Answer 1

acetylcholine

Question 2

what does acetyloline do

Answer 2

connects motor neurons and skeletal muscle

Question 3

what does the arrival of action potential cuase

Answer 3

calcium ion channels to open

Question 4

when the calcium channels open what does this cause the calcium ions to do

Answer 4

ca ions enter synaptic knob

Question 5

how do the ca+ ions enter synaptic knob

Answer 5

facilitated diffusion

Question 6

what does the influx of calcium ion do

Answer 6

causes synaptic vesicles fuse with the membrane

Question 7

what diffuses across the synaptic cleft

Answer 7

acetylcholine

Question 8

when the acytlecholine diffuses across the synaptic cleft what happens

Answer 8

acetlycholine binds to the receptor sites

Question 9

what does the binding to receptor sites cause

Answer 9

sodium ion protien channels to open

Question 10

when sodium channels open what happens

Answer 10

na+ diffuses in rapidly

Question 11

when the na+ diffuses in what does this create

Answer 11

creates a new action potential

Question 12

where is the new action potential created

Answer 12

postsynaptic neuron

Question 13

describe the total process

Answer 13

calcium ions move into presynaptic neurone via facilitated diffussion
ca+ than diffuses down to post synaptic knob where it causes vesicles to fuse with presynaptic membrane
actylcholine is released and diffuses across synaptic cleft
recived on post synaptic neurone by receptor cells
this stimulates sodium ion chanells to open - repid influx of sodium ions
creating a new action potential.
