AB  - OBJECTIVESAfter  studying  this  chapter,  you  should  be  able  to:Describe  the  major  location  and  functional  components  of  a  neuron-to-neuron  synapse.Contrast  the  ionic  fluxes  responsible  for  the  fast  and  slow  excitatory  and  inhibitory  postsynaptic  potentials.Compare  and  contrast  the  terms  temporal  summation  and  spatial  summation  and  their  role  in  action  potential  generation  in  a  postsynaptic  neuron.Explain  postsynaptic  inhibition,  presynaptic  inhibition,  and  presynaptic  facilitation.Identify  the  components  of  the  neuromuscular  junction  and  the  sequence  of  events  that  leads  to  a  propagated  action  potential  in  the  skeletal  muscle  fiber.Explain  how  autonomic  neurons  communicate  with  their  effector  organs  at  a  neuroeffector  junction.Define  denervation  hypersensitivity.Describe  some  pathologies  associated  with  dysfunction  at  the  neuromuscular  junction.
