Neurotransmission and Muscle Contraction Joyce Fiel Reah Wilkins Shann Bunggay
Neurotransmission the essentials Parts of a Neuron
1 Axon Neurotransmitters Calcium 2+ synapse Receptors presynaptic neurone
2 Action potential Neurotransmitters
3 Neurotransmitters As active potential goes down axon, the charges become opposite
4 Neurotransmitters Depolarization
5 Neurotransmitters Depolarization
6 Neurotransmitters Depolarization
7 Neurotransmitters
8 Neurotransmitters • altered membrane potential allows calcium ions to enter the presynaptic neurone
9 Neurotransmitters
10 Neurotransmitters
11 Neurotransmitters
12 increase in Ca++ levels in side the cell triggers the fusion of pocket containing neurotransmitters with the presynaptic neuron membrane Neurotransmitters
13 Neurotransmitters
14 When the neurotransmitters leave, the change in the synapse goes back to normal Neurotransmitters
15 Neurotransmitters have specific receptors Neurotransmitters
16 Neurotransmitters
17 Neurotransmitters
