Frage 1
Frage
Acetyl Choline always produces an EPSP.
Frage 2
Frage
Glutamate produces an IPSP.
Frage 3
Frage
Gaba produces an IPSP.
Frage 4
Frage
Choose the correct statements about methamphetamine.
Antworten
-
It increases levels of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin.
-
It blocks the reuptake of noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin.
-
It acts in reward centres and as such is highly addictive.
-
It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.
Frage 5
Frage
Choose the incorrect statement.
Antworten
-
Acetylcholine activates stimulus gated Na+ channels, and can be found in NMJs and the brain.
-
Glutamate activates stimulus gated Na+ and Ca+ channels, and is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS.
-
GABA activates Na+ and Cl- channels, and is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS.
Frage 6
Frage
A neuron can have >50,000 synapses at its input zone.
Frage 7
Frage
Local synaptic potential (EPSPs and IPSPs) summate.
Spatial summation is integration of inputs from [blank_start]different synaptic knobs[blank_end]. (Different localisation/[blank_start]local polarisations[blank_end] of input zone.)
Temporal summation is the integration of inputs from the [blank_start]same synaptic knob[blank_end] but from different, [blank_start]short time intervals[blank_end].
Antworten
-
different synaptic knobs
-
local polarisations
-
same synaptic knob
-
short time intervals
Frage 8
Frage
Local polarisations last longer than action potentials. This allows temporal summation to be effective.
Frage 9
Frage
Converging networks can amplify signals. They have few control points and can therefore allow precise control.
Diverging networks provide redundancy, making sure there is a 'back up' should another transmission fail and assuring an action is carried out.
