Questions and Answers

Qual é o processo responsável pela comunicação entre neurônios no cérebro e sistema nervoso?

  • Ligação de neurotransmissores aos receptores (correct)
  • Remoção de neurotransmissores da fenda sináptica
  • Impulso nervoso
  • Ação potencial
  • O que acontece quando os neurotransmissores se ligam aos receptores na membrana do neurônio receptor?

  • O processo é interrompido e a comunicação entre neurônios é impedida
  • Os neurotransmissores são removidos da fenda sináptica
  • Abrem-se canais iônicos, permitindo a entrada de íons carregados no neurônio (correct)
  • Os neurotransmissores são transformados em outra substância química
  • Qual a importância do funcionamento adequado das conexões de neurotransmissores no sistema nervoso?

  • Permite a comunicação rápida e eficiente entre neurônios (correct)
  • É responsável pela regulação do sono e do apetite
  • É responsável pela produção de hormônios no corpo
  • Controla a respiração e a frequência cardíaca
  • Study Notes

    • A neurotransmitter connection allows for communication between neurons in the brain and nervous system
    • A nerve impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
    • Neurotransmitters bind to specific receptors on the receiving neuron's membrane
    • This binding opens ion channels, allowing charged ions to enter the neuron
    • The influx of ions triggers an electrical impulse called an action potential
    • Neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous signaling
    • The process is complex and involves biochemical events
    • The proper functioning of the nervous system depends on neurotransmitter connections
    • Various factors can affect neurotransmitter connections, such as chemicals, drugs, and diseases
    • The process is essential for the rapid and efficient communication between neurons.
