#6.2.2.1
The detailed structure of a synapse and of a neuromuscular junction.
#6.2.2.2
The sequence of events involved in transmission across a cholinergic synapse in sufficient detail to explain:
- unidirectionality
- temporal and spatial summation
- inhibition by inhibitory synapses.
#6.2.2.3
A comparison of transmission across a cholinergic synapse and across a neuromuscular junction.
#6.2.2.4
Students should be able to use information provided to predict and explain the effects of specific drugs on a synapse.
(Recall of the names and mode of action of individual drugs will not be required.)
