This structure receives messages from the terminal bouton of a presynaptic neuron

This structure emerges from the end branches of the axon and contain neurotransmitters

This structure receives the presynaptic neuron neurotransmitter substance from the synaptic cleft but only if the neurotransmitter possesses the specific molecules that can bind to its receptor sites

The space between a presynaptic and post synaptic neuron

These structures serve to transmit nerve signals to several parts of the nervous system simultaneously

Schwann Cells create this in the PNS; Oligodendrocytes create this in the CNS

This must be broken down or removed after reaching the postsynaptic cell to prevent continued signal conduction and allow further cycles of release and signalling

When the neurotransmitter detaches from the post synaptic receptor, drifts out of the synaptic cleft, and is reabsorbed by glial cells, it is called

A decrease in the number of receptors on the post synaptic neuron that occurs in response to too much neurotransmitter is called

The time required for the neurotransmitter to diffuse across a post synaptic neuron's membrane is called

These are chemical substances that breaks down a neurotransmitter so that the post synaptic neuron can depolarize in order to fire again

This underlies the addiction process

This occurs when the post synaptic neuron has prolonged and repetitive discharge after firing due to too much neurotransmitter release or too slow enzymatic degradation

The average synaptic delay is how long?

The flux of ions across the post synaptic membrane generates

When this binds to a receptor site on a post synaptic membrane, the result may either be depolarization or hyperpolarization of the post synaptic membrane

What is the brief electrical impulse that provides the basis for conduction of nerve signals along the axon?

This is the difference between the chemical composition inside and outside the cell

This occurs when the post synaptic neuron has prolonged and repetitive discharge after firing due to too much neurotransmitter release or too slow enzymatic degradation
