a) Produce annotated diagrams that illustrate how nerve impulses travel
i) along a neurone
ii) across a synapse.

 

b) Diagram 2 shows the rapid change upon depolarisation called an action potential. Explain what is happening at each of the numbered parts of the graph.

 

Task 5
The reward centre in the brain is responsible for pleasurable feelings. The synapses here use a neurotransmitter called dopamine that binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. To remove the dopamine, it is transported back through the presynaptic membrane. Cocaine binds to the protein that transports dopamine.

a)Explain the following terms or words
i) Presynaptic membrane
ii) Post synaptic membrane
iii) Receptors in synapse
iv) Dopamine

b) Using the above information, explain what makes cocaine addicts seek repeated doses of the drug.
Using presynaptic, postsynaptic, dopamine
