Action potentials and graded potentials both…A) Propagate long distances through neural structures, without attenuation in their amplitude.B) Can directly excite or inhibit neurons.C) Can propagate at speeds of up to 120 meters per second.D) Involve voltage-gated Nav and Kv channels.E) Are capable of triggering synaptic exocytosis in neurons of the vertebrate retina
Calcium entry through NNDA receptor can potentiate synaptic transmission through the following mechanisms EXCEPT: a.) Insertion of AMPA receptors to postsynaptic membrane b.) Synthesis of NO to increase presynaptic transmitter release c.) Phosphorylation of AMPA receptors d.) Slowing down glutamate reupdate, so it remains longer in the synapse
Applying a pressure stimulus to the fluid-filled capsule of an isolated Pacinian corpuscle causes a brief burst of action potentials in the afferent neuron, which ceases until the pressure is removed, at which time another brief burst of action potentials occurs. If an experimenter removes the capsule and applies pressure directly to the afferent neuron ending, action potentials are continuously fired during the stimulus. Explain these results in the context ofadaptation.
