Synaptic transmission (plus summation)

Question 1

Synaptic transmission:

Answer 1

1. Action potential or NT arrives at terminal from axon
2. NT is packaged into vesicles
3. Vesicles fuse with cell membrane
4. NT diffused across synaptic gap
5. NT binds to receptors
6. Surplus NT is broken down/ recycled by uptake channels

Question 2

how does synaptic transmission communicate?

Answer 2

between neurons at synapses

Question 3

what are electrical messages called?

Answer 3

Action Potentials

Question 4

what are action potentials translated into?

Answer 4

chemical messages called NT

Question 5

where are NT messages interpreted?

Answer 5

at receptors-> and added up to decide what next neuron does
