Depolarized .... and inactivation of V-gated Na+ chennels makes action potentials unidirectional
|
What happen ?
|
|
Depolazation of the axon terminal triggers
|
neurotransmitter release
|
|
Neurotransmitter and receptors for neurotransmitters diffuse across the synatic cleft
|
the cleft is extremely small
|
|
Neuritrasmitters are small chemical compounds
|
Serotonin (Happiness), Acetylcholine (Muscle contraction), Dopamine (reward)
|
|
Axon terminals contain voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
|
Calcium ion influx triggers exocytosis of neurotransmitters.
|
|
Binding of neurotransmitter causes depolarization of
|
the target cell. Binding of neurotransmitter causes depolarization of the target cell.
Neuroreceptors 1. Ligand-gated 2. GPCR |
|
THe acetylcholine receptor is a ligand-gated ion channel
|
sodium, calcium or any ions can flow through.
It actually facillitate the influx of sodium into the cells. |
|
A package of neurotransmitter and
|
get these vesicle ready !
Neurotransmitters are packaged into synaptic vesicles by H+ gradients |
|
Neurotransmitters are packaged into synaptic vesicles by
|
H+ gradients
|
|
Synaptic vesicles are docked at the plasma membrane
|
by SNARE complexes
BOtulinum toxin ( snare complex, undocking and complete ...) |
|
BOTOX undocks synaptic vesicles
|
and prevents acetylcholine realeases. The SNARE is degraded and fully block synaptic transcription.
|
|
people with botox can't smile
|
because their facial is paralyze. Botox treatment will last 3-4 months
|
|
How do you trigger exocytosis
|
Ca 2+ influx causes membrane fusion and neurotransmitter release.
Synaptotagmin is the Ca 2+ sensor. |
|
Synatic vesicle fusion may occur by a kiss and run mechanism
|
partially fused and never a flattened out : transient release
|
|
Reuptake of neurotransmitters occurs by Na symporters
|
Reuptake of neurotransmitters occurs by Na+ synporters.
|
|
Recycling of the synaptic vesicle requires the GTPase Dynamin
|
Dynamin form helixes and twisted the ( kind da like a boa)
|
|
Shibire mutation
|
numbness mutation. fly in japanese
|
|
Only 10% of docked vesicles are used per firing
|
why synaptic vessicls ae so full of vesicles
|
|
Package with V class H punp and move to the surface and docked by snare
|
calcium influx => fusion of synaptic vesicle. Neurotransmitter is symport with Na and the vesicles is catherin and dynamin proteins
|
