PY - 2017 T2 - Ganong's Medical Physiology Examination & Board Review 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.
