Answer #1
  • There can be synaptic transmission between two neuron or a neuron with a muscle cell.
  • Neuromuscular junction is the connection between a neuron and muscle.
  • Synaptic transmission between neuron occur from axon terminal of presynaptic neuron and dendritic spine of post synaptic neuron.
  • In both case action potenial is converted into a chemical messages , which are released and bind with receptor on post synaptic neuron or membrane.
  • The space between two neuron is called synaptic cleft.
  • Action potential arriving at presynaptic membrane causes membrane depolarization and activate voltage gated calcium channel .
  • Calcium flow causes release of neurotransmitter , which is released and bind with receptor on the post synaptic membrane.

.) Which statement concerning the neuromuscular junction is incorrect? Epinephrine is the neurotransmitter released from vesicles in the synaptic knob of the neuron. The neuromuscular junction is the site at which a motor neuron synapses with a muscle fiber. The motor endplate is the depression on the muscle fiber plasma membrane that forms part of the neuromuscular junction. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that is located in the basal lamina of the neuromuscular junction that deactivates Acetylcholine.

Glutamate neurotransmitters are released to a synaptic cleft between two neurons that is 140 nm wide. Within the synaptic cleft, initially there is no neurotransmitters present. After they are released from the pre-synaptic neuron, you find that the average flux of the neurotransmitters within the cleft is 2.5 x 10−4 mol/m2·s towards the post-synaptic neuron. The diffusion coefficient for Glutamate in the synaptic cleft is 8 x 10-10 m2/s. 1)Find the concentration of this neurotransmitter close to the pre-synaptic neuron...
