PSY 430 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Axon Hillock, Metabotropic Receptor, Axon Terminal
Document Summary
D: ach binds to receptor on postsynaptic membrane which starts psp changes by na+/k+ Ow - sum of the open channels causes a psp to exceed threshold which leads to ap. I: ach is a neurotransmitter that binds to the receptor allowing for psp. M: relates to how the synaptic cleft of certain neurons utilizes various receptors. E: ach receptor is one of many various receptors that can be found on the synaptic cleft. D: high density of v-gated na+ channels are this location which make the decision whether or not to re - hillock is about 10 mv above resting potential. I: the axon hillock is apart of the neuron that allows for v-gated na+ channels to be utilized. M: relates to the ring of an action potential and the propagation of an action potential down the axon. E: na+ channels can be found in high clusters on the hillock.
