what is the function of GABA neurotransmitters if they are unable to produce electric potential in the post synaptic cell ??

Solution

GABA (gamma- amniobutyric acid) is a commonly used inhibitory neurotransmitter which is very widely distributed in the cortex region. It contributes to motor control, vision and other functions of the cortex. It controls anxiety as well.

Q. A list of events occurring in the transmission of nerve impulse across the synapse is given below in a random order.
(i) Opening of specific ion channels allows the entry of ions, a new action potential is generated in the post-synaptic neuron.
(ii) Neurotransmitter binds to the receptor on post synaptic membrane.
(iii) Synaptic vesicle fuses with pre-synaptic membrane, neurotransmitter release into synaptic cleft.
(iv) Depolarisation of pre-synaptic membrane.

Q. Assertion :The chemicals stored in the synaptic vesicles are termed as neurotransmitters. Reason: Synaptic vesicles release these chemicals in the synaptic cleft.

Q. Do you know how the pre-synaptic neuron transmits an impulse (action potential) across the synaptic cleft to the post-synaptic neuron?

During synaptic transmission of nerve impulse, a neurotransmitter (P) is released from synaptic vesicles by the action of ions (Q). Choose the correct P and Q
