Question

Review the events that occur at excitatory chemical synapses by completing each sentence Kt At an chemical synapse, activated receptors on the postsynaptic Na membrane are depolarization There are both electrical and concentration gradients driving into the cell. into While for the electrical gradient opposes the concentration gradient. threshold Opening these channels that are permeable to small positively charged ions therefore results in the simultaneous movement of a small number of potassium ions excitatory the cell and a larger number of sodium ions the cell. non-selective cation channels The net movement of ions causes a slight of the membrane excitatory postsynaptic potential This is called an , and its function is to bring the membrane potential of the postsynaptic cell closer to out of

Explanation / Answer

1. Excitory , Non selective cation channel

2.K+

3. Na+

4. Into, out of

5. Depolarisation

6. Excitory post synaptic potential, threshold
