Neurotransmitter leaves the presynaptic cell by exocytosis. It is released in the synaptic space, and moves to the postsynaptic membrane to meet its receptor. When binding occurs, it triggers a response in the new cell.

-----------------------------------------

Every neuron forms connections with another cell.

When a presynaptic cell sends information, a neurotransmitter is released.

After the exocytosis event, this chemical substance travels through the synaptic space forward to the other cell. Once there, it binds to its receptors in the postsynaptic membrane.

When the joining occurs, the receptor acquires a channel shape. This change allows the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential.

This binding produces the excitatory postsynaptic potential -depolarization-.

A new action potential initiates in the postsynaptic cell and spreads to the rest of the membrane, depolarizing it.

If the communication between cells needs to stop, the neurotransmitter will be taken out from the synaptic space <em>instead of binding to its receptor. </em>

There are two mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter can be eliminated: by deactivation or reuptake.

What type of behavior is a bird song, learned or innate?

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The tendency of the bird or the inclination to sing is innate in birds, however, the song, which is sung is learned. There exists an innate tendency to sing a song whether the bird is in seclusion or not. The birds possess sensitive/critical periods when they can produce memories of the songs they learn. The anterior forebrain pathway or the anterior vocal pathway is the template for learning a song by the bird.

On a phylogenetic tree, which term refers to lineages that diverged from the same place?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

sister taxa

Explanation:

Groups departing from the same evolutionary node are called sister taxa and are evolutionarily closer to each other than groups departing from another node. Thus, we can say that the sister taxa are evolutionarily closer (related) to each other than to the taxa that did not diverge from the same place. Similarly we can say that taxa that did not diverge from the same place, cannot be called sister taxa and are distant evolutionary.

What is true about two different cell types in the body?

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Read It and Understand

Explanation:

There are over 200 different cell types in the human body. Each type of cells is specialised to carry out a particular function, either solely, but usually by forming a particular tissue. Different tissues then combine and form specific organs, where the organ is like a factory where every type of cell has its own job.
