What is the difference between an inhibitory and an excitatory post synaptic potential?.

Biology
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]1 year ago
8 0

An excitatory post synaptic potential has a reversal potential more positive than the action potential threshold, whereas an inhibitory post synaptic potential has a reversal potential more negative than threshold.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) carry the neuron's potential closer to its volatile threshold. on the other hand Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP) change the charge across the membrane to be further from the volatile threshold.

These potentials are also known as graded potential because their size or amplitude is directly proportional to the strength of the triggering event. Example include when large stimulus leads to the generation of a strong graded response and a small stimulus leads to the generation of a weak graded response.

Are there any similarities between this Galapagos research and Darwin’s research? Explain your answer.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: This modern-day researcher used some of the same theories that Darwin proposed. Like Darwin and his finches and tortoises, this scientist understood that the Galapagos cormorants inherited flightless wings. Darwin eventually discovered that his Galapagos finches likely evolved from other species of finches on the mainland. This evolution was similar to how the flightless Galapagos cormorants evolved from other species of cormorants.

Hoochie [10]

Complete question:

The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of the postsynaptic membrane to Na and K

  • True
  • False

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell by the process of exocytosis.

Once the molecule is in the intercellular space, it moves forward the postsynaptic membrane to join its receptor in the motor plate.

Once the joining has occurred, the receptor acquires a channel shape allowing the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential. Ions traffic will consist of the pass of sodium and calcium to the interior of the cell and potassium to the exterior. Quantitatively, the interchange Na-K is the most significant.

K+ follows a concentration gradient, while Na+ follows an electrochemical gradient. The interchange results in an increase of positive charges in the interior of the muscular cell.

Whenever there is a sufficient number of Acetylcholine receptors are active, the depolarization threshold of the motor endplate is exceeded. This activates an action potential that extends to the rest of the muscle membrane.
