Nervous Coordination: Synaptic Transmission

Nervous Coordination: Synaptic Transmission

  • Understand detailed structure of a synapse
  • Explain sequence of transmission across a cholinergic synapse
  • Understand concepts of unidirectionality, temporal and spatial summation
  • Understand inhibition by inhibitory synapses
  • Compare cholinergic response to neuromuscular junction
  • Be prepared to explain the effect of any drug on the synapse
  • Use given information to apply synapse knowledge
  • Important to read all questions carefully.
