Describe the role of the following in synaptic communication:______.

Biology
1 answer:
Scilla [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1- Ionotropic receptors form ionic channels that allow certain ions to pass through the plasma membrane, and metabotropic receptors, which are associated with G proteins and have a modulating action on synaptic transmission.

2-Neurons communicate with each other through neurotransmitters, which are the molecules responsible for sending signals from one neuron to the next neuron. Neuromodulators also enter into communication between nerve cells.

3-Rapid PPSE occurs when postsynaptic nicotinic receptors on dendrites and neuronal cell bodies are activated through acetylcholine, which causes membrane depolarization and allows the entry of Na and Ca ions.

Acetylcholine also allows the activation of postsynaptic muscarinic receptors, which leads to the slow excitatory postsynaptic potential. This occurs when the channels are Ca and Na open and the K channels are closed.

4-When the neurotransmitters are attached to their receptors, the opening of the ion channels can be opened. This leads to two types of postsynaptic potentials being generated: postsynaptic excitation potentials (PEPs), if the membrane potential is depolarized, and the postsynaptic potential inhibitors (PIPs), if the membrane potential is hyperpolarized.

Explanation:

1-The importance of studying neurotransmitter receptors is that most of the drugs of clinical importance, such as anesthetics, anticonvulsants, etc., are based on the mechanisms of action of these receptors

2-Neurotransmitters allow them to produce or not action potential, serves to activate postsynaptic receptors and are capable of opening ion channels. On the other hand, neuromodulators are responsible for regulating the activity of ion channels.

3-The fast PPSE reaches 15 milliseconds. The slow PPSE lasts approximately 1-2 minutes.

4-PEPs occur when the ionic channels of Na + or Ca2 + are opened, while PIPs when the channels  of K + or CI- are opened.

What is a chromosome? ( In simple terms please)
ratelena [41]
Well the definition in an actual dictionary or scientific book is quite confusing, so to put it simply:
A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.

If that makes any sense.
That’s really as simple as I know it.
Chromosomes are complex, so a simple definition doesn’t come easy.
Happy to help!

What distinguishes an amniotic egg from eggs laid by other animals, including fishes, amphibians, and invertebrates?
PIT_PIT [208]

The difference between an amniotic egg and eggs laid by other animals is : Absence of Membrane ( amnion ) and absence of larval stage

<h3>Characteristics of an amniotic egg</h3>

Eggs laid by amniotes are different from other eggs laid by fishes, amphibians and invertebrates in that they lack a membrane and a larval stage. the shell of the amniotic egg protects the embryo in the absence of a membrane. The shell also allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the the embryo and the environment.

Hence we can conclude that The difference between an amniotic egg and eggs laid by other animals is : Absence of Membrane ( amnion ) and absence of larval stage

On a home visit to an older adult with chronic heart failure, the nurse notes that a 6-month-old grandchild lies quietly in a cr
natima [27]

The gathering of information regarding a patient's and its associated individual's psychological, physiological, spiritual, and sociological status by a licensed Registered Nurse is known as nursing assessment. It is the initial step in the process of nursing.  

In the given case, the nurse should initiate a recommendation to a suitable agency to evaluate the requirement for a home health aide and scheduling a family meeting, which will make sure that a complete assessment for the requirements of the family is made and the suitable assistance is initiated.

In which blood vessels does the exchange of gases take place?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer: CAPILLARIES

Explanation: Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the blood stream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the blood stream to the lungs. It occurs in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessel is called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.
