Synaptic Transmission

Question 1

What Is A Synapse

Answer 1

The area where neurons become close enough that they can pass chemical signals to one another

Question 2

What is the name of the neuron that receives neuron transmitters

Answer 2

Postsynaptic Neuron

Question 3

What is the name of the neuron that receives neuron transmitters

Answer 3

Postsynaptic Neuron

Question 4

What is the name of the neuron that releases neuron transmitters

Answer 4

presynaptic neuron

Question 5

What is synaptic transmission

Answer 5

The process by which one neuron communicates with another.

Question 6

What is excitation bop bop

Answer 6

When a neurotransmitter increases the positive charge of the post synaptic neuron

which increases the likely hood that the neuron will fire and pass on the electrical impulse.

Question 7

What is Inhibition

Answer 7

when a neurotransmitter increases the negative charge of the postsynaptic neuron

which decrease the likelihood that the neuron will fire and pass on electrical impulse

Question 8

What is a sensory neuron

Answer 8

Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from the PNS towards the CNS

It has Short axons and long dendrites

Question 9

What are Motor neurons

Answer 9

Motor neurons carry signals from the CNS and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body.

Long Axons Short Dendrites

Question 10

What are Motor neurons

Answer 10

Motor neurons carry signals from the CNS and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body.

Long Axons Short Dendrites

Question 11

What are relay neurons

Answer 11

Relay neurons connect motor and sensory neurons

Short axons and dendrites
