|
What are the 2 kinds of chemical neurotransmitters?
|
1.)Excitatory neurotransmitters
2.)Inhibitory neurotransmitters
|
|
Excitatory neurotransmitters
|
-causes depolarization and promote an action potential in the post-synaptic neuron
|
|
Inhibitory Neurotransmitters
|
-causes hyperpolarization and inhibit an action potential in the post synaptic neuron
|
|
Step 1 of the action potential
|
the action potential of the pre-synaptic neuron arrives at the end bulb
|
|
Step 2 of the action potential
|
opens protein channels for the Ca+, Ca+ rushes in to the end bulb of the neuron
|
|
Step 3 of the action potential
|
this Ca+ influx causes vesicles with neurotransmitters to move to the cell membrane inner surface and release the neurotransmitter by exocytosis
|
|
Step 4 of the action potential
|
the neurotransmitter chemical crosses the synapse and binds to receptor proteins on the post-synaptic neuron surface
|
|
Step 5 of the action potential
|
Causes an action potential to form in the post-synaptic neuron surface
|
|
Step 6 of the action potential
|
Neurotransmitter is quickly broken down by the enzyme
|
|
Are synapses unidirectional?
|
yes
|
|
What are some other chemicals made and released at the synapse that are not neurotransmitters?
|
Neuromodulators
|
|
Neuromodulators
