AB OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Describe  the  main  morphologic  features  of  synapses.Describe  fast  and  slow  excitatory  and  inhibitory  postsynaptic  potentials,  outline  the  ionic  fluxes  that  underlie  them,  and  explain  how  the  potentials  interact  to  generate  action  potentials.Define  and  give  examples  of  direct  inhibition,  indirect  inhibition,  presynaptic  inhibition,  and  postsynaptic  inhibition.Describe  the  neuromuscular  junction,  and  explain  how  action  potentials  in  the  motor  neuron  at  the  junction  lead  to  contraction  of  the  skeletal  muscle.Define  denervation  hypersensitivity.
