2. In the neuron diagram below, or redraw by hand on a separate sheet of paper: 1) label the dendrites, cell body (soma), axon, a Node of Ranvier and axon terminals; and 2) using the numbers below, indicate one location on the neuron where each of the following could exist (pick one location for each independently, do not label every location on the neuron each could exist): 1) leak K+ channels 2) ligand-gated Na+ channels 3) ligand-gated Cl- channels 4) voltage-gated Na+ channels 5) voltage-gate K+ channels 6) Na+/K+-ATPase pump

Step 1
These are the dendrites, cell body (soma), axon, a Node of Ranvier, and axon terminals. If you're drawing this, start with the cell body in the center, extend dendrites out from the top and sides, draw a long axon coming out from the bottom, place a few swellings Show more…

Describe what occurs at the neuronal synapse when the action potential reaches the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and a following EPSP. Use the following terms in your diagram or description: Depolarization, voltage gated calcium channel, axon, axon terminal, presynaptic membrane, post-synaptic membrane, synaptic cleft, vesicle, exocytosis, neurotransmitter, nonspecific cation channel.

Below figure shows a synapse formed between two neurons. Presynaptic neuron Postsynaptic neuron Fill in the blanks by using the words listed below. [6 pt] The figure above shows a chemical synapse through which electrical signals are transmitted from one neuron to another via messenger molecules called __________. When an action potential reaches the __________ of a presynaptic neuron, these messenger molecules inside the __________ are released out of the presynaptic neuron to the __________. Then they bind to the __________ present on dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron, causing them to open up. Once they are opened, specific ions depending on the type of the channel flow in or out of the postsynaptic neuron via __________. The membrane potential of the postsynaptic neuron changes, either increases or decreases. cell body leak channels active transport synaptic cleft diffusion axon terminals ligand-gated ion channels carbohydrates synaptic cells nucleus neurotransmitters synaptic vesicles
