#synaptic transmission question

2 public questions tagged with this topic.

Opening of Cl− channels at synapse typically produces:

Go with B — IPSP. Within Synapse, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, IPSP is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Synapse. Holding that picture in mind makes IPSP feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by IPSP. In class notes, highlight this same phrase next to the related diagram so the wording and the picture reinforce each other.

Opening of which ion channel in presynaptic terminal triggers neurotransmitter release?

The correct answer is C: Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel. In Synapse, this idea is central because it matches how the body actually works in everyday teaching examples. Put simply, excitable-cell physiology turns on membranes, ions, and signalling steps, and Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel captures the correct piece of that story. That is why Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel is the option that holds up when you check it against basic physiology. When you revise, say the answer out loud with one short reason attached; that sticks better than rote lists. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
