How does a presynaptic neuron know just how much of a certain neurotransmitter (NT) it has released into the synapse?

Biology

Llana [10]3 years ago

Answer:

A presynaptic neuron knows when and how much of a certain neurotransmitter it has to release into the synapse by the frequency of the action potential.

Explanation:

Two nuerons connect to each other through synapse. When an action potential, or nerve impulse, arrives at the axon terminal, it activates voltage-gated calcium channels in the cell membrane, then the calcium which is present in hi highconcentration outside the neuron than inside, rushes into the cell. The Calcium then allows synaptic vesicles to fuse with the axon terminal membrane, releasing neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.

The nuerotransmitter than binds to the receptors at the post-synaptic cleft and causes the opening or closing of the channels, hence, depolarizing or hyperpolarizing the cells.This can produce a change in the membrane potential—voltage across the membrane of the receiving cell.

Aleks04 [339]

One possible result of chromosomal breakage is for a fragment to join a nonhomologous chromosome. What is this type of chromosomal alteration called <u>translocation.</u>

A chromosomal fragment is translocated when it is moved from one genomic sequence to another. Around two nonhomologous chromosomes, a translocation mechanism takes place in order to permit the interchange of fragments created by chromosomal breakage.

When a segment of one chromosome separates and affixes towards another chromosome, translocation takes place. If there is neither genetic material growth nor loss in the cell, such a form of rearrangement would be referred to as balanced.
