Question

(4) make the perfect synapse using mixed parts –

a. What is it about your synapse which is special – is it fast? Has lots of control? Inexpensive....

My synapse is special because it is fast and inexpensive which means that it will have quick response in the body without using a lot of energy.

b. choose a presynaptic neuron pick from: Norepi, Substance P, Glutamate or Acetylcholine – explain why you choose this one

Acetylcholine---> How it acts fast give example ?

c. choose a post synaptic response – NOT THE ONE WHICH THE NT IN PART B WOULD NORMALLY USE choose from M2, D2, NMDA, β2, GABA A explain why you choose this one

GABA A how GABA act fast or how it is Inexpensive.... ??

Answer 1

Synapse is the junction between two neurons. These are all helpful in transmission of impulses from one place to other place.

Acetylcholine is the excitatory neurotransmitters. Where as GABA is inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Presynaptic neurons releases neurotransmitters on to the surface of post synaptic neuron. Post synaptic neuron receives neurotransmitters through its receptors.

Synapse structure is as below
