What takes place at the synapse?

Biology

Sedbober [7]2 years ago

The most commonly found synapses in humans are chemical synapses. This occurs due to electrical activity in the presynaptic neurons triggering the release of neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters disperse across the synaptic cleft to then bind themselves to specialized receptors of postsynaptic neurons. Once this occurs, the neurotransmitters then either excites or inhibits the postsynaptic neuron. Exciting the postsynaptic neuron leads to a firing of action potential (electrical impulses), whereas inhibiting the postsynaptic neuron prevents the transmission of a signal.

leva [86]
I think under the influence of Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), more concentrated urine is produced. Antidiuretic hormone also called vasopressin acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney increases. It also helps to control blood pressure by acting on the kidneys and the blood vessels.
