neurons to form complex interconnected circuits‚ allowing the nervous system to moderate other systems within the body. When an action potential of a pre-synaptic neuron reaches the axon terminal‚ voltage-gated calcium channels are open. This allows calcium ions to enter the terminal. The calcium instigates vesicles containing neurotransmitters to bind with the cell membrane‚ releasing their contents into a space between the cells‚ called a synaptic cleft. After the neurotransmitters diffuse across the

Without the heart pumping‚ oxygen and blood glucose won’t reach the vital organs of the body that need them for sustenance. Eventually without the ability to produce ATP the body’s cells will die. C. Which intracellular organelles have membranes as part of their structure? How would the breakdown of the membranes of these structures affect the function

which are exceptionally large protein passages forming membrane pores expanding from cell to cell‚ endowing little substances and ions to move without coercion between the units Synaptic Transmission (Lytton 2002). But regardless‚ the most of the synapses in vertebrates are chemical. When a nerve impulse comes to a chemical synapse‚ neurotransmitters‚ which are pointer substances‚ are issued from the nerve terminal and diffuse to the membrane of the target cell. The unfastening of these passages

The dendrites receive neurotransmitters from the synapses that connect to it and if enough are present‚ an action potential is caused which then travels down the axon to the terminal buttons also known as synapses. There are electrical and chemical synapses in the body although the vast majority are chemical. Electrical synapses are located in the retina and in some
