Human Physiology Chapter 4

Across
Synapses at which neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synaptic cell to bind with a receptor to promote a depolarization or hyperpolarization.
Channels that change shape in response to specific chemicals binding to a surface receptor.
Electrical synapses are connected by _____ _____. Ions can flow directly between cells in either direction.
Inhibitor neurotransmitter that would produce and IPSP. accronym (one of two listed to know)
Conduction that occurs along every patch of non-myelinated axon membrane.
Channels that open or close in response to changes in membrane potential.
Membrane potential becomes more negative than at resting membrane potential.
Conduction in which the action potential jumps from node to node in myelinated axons.
Membrane potential becomes less polarized; the inside becomes less negative (or more positive) than at RMP.
Nerve and muscle tissues are _____. These tissues can undergo transient, rapid fluctuations in their membrane potentials, which serve as electrical signals.
The primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the CNS and would produce and EPSP.
Potential that are brief, rapid, large changes in membrane potential where there is a reversal of potential. "All or None"
Refractory period in which another action potential can be fired but only with a stronger than normal stimulus because voltage gated K+ channels are slow to close.
EPSP, produced by depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane
Down
Channels which respond to stretching or other deformations of the channel
After depolarization, membrane potential returns to resting potential.
Channels that respond to local changes in temperature.
Increases the speed of conduction of action potentials in axons.
Signals that die out over short distances. Associated with graded potentials.
IPSP, produced by hyperpolarization of the post synaptic membrane
Potentials that are local changes in membrane potential that occur in varying degrees of magnitude.
A separation of charge (unequal distribution of ions across the membrane) that results in polarization of the membrane. Abbreviated
Refractory period in which another action potential cannot be fired because voltage gated Na+ channels are already open or are closed and not capable of opening.
Inhibitor neurotransmitter that would produce and IPSP. (one of two listed to know)
