Neurotransmission is unidirectional insofar as chemical and electrical conduction is concerned within the individual neuron. Of
the following descriptions, which best characterizes the order of neurotransmitter/receptor interaction that results in an electrical signal impulse and the release of another neurotransmitter for interaction in the synaptic cleft (signal conduction through a neuron)? a. Cell body, dendrites, Axon, Axon terminals
b. Dendrites, Axon, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminals
c. Dendrites, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminals
d. Axon terminals, Axon, Cell body, Dendrites
Answer: The correct option is C (Dendrites, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminals)
Explanation:
The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called NEUROTRANSMISSION.
The order of neurotransmitter/receptor interaction that results in an electrical signal impulse and the release of another neurotransmitter for interaction in the synaptic cleft (signal conduction through a neuron) is from Dendrites--> Cell body--> Axon-->Axon terminals>
DENDRITES extends from the cell body of a neurone to receive messages at neuromuscular junction from other neurons. The CELL BODY directs all activities to the axon. The AXON is a long single fibre that transmits messages from the cell body and ends in terminals forming a synapse. Nerve impulses arrives at the axon terminal causing the release of neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters binds to receptors at the dendrites of another neurons. The electrical signal impulses generated causes the release of neurotransmitters in another neuron.
Mitochondria are visible under the light microscope although little detail can be seen. Transmission electron microscopy (left) shows the complex internal membrane structure of mitochondria, and electron tomography (right) gives a three-dimensional view.
Answer: When the weather is hot or your body temperature rises due to exercise or fever, sweat is released through ducts in your skin. It moistens the surface of your body and cools you down as it evaporates.
