Question 1

When more action potentials arrive at the axon terminal, how are neurotransmitters affected?
◦ Different molecules are released into the synapse.
◦ More molecules are released into the synapse.
◦ Fewer molecules are released into the synapse.
◦ There is no effect–all signals are identical.

Question 2

When more action potentials arrive at the axon terminal, how is a postsynaptic neuron affected?
◦ Neurotransmitter release increases, but does not change the graded potentials in postsynaptic neurons.
◦ Neurotransmitter release increases, increasing the frequency or magnitude of graded potentials in the postsynaptic neuron.
◦ Neurotransmitter release does not change, but voltages in the postsynaptic neuron increase.
◦ Neurotransmitter release does not change, and the postsynaptic neuron behaves the same way it always behaves.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Did you know?

The term pharmacology is derived from the Greek words pharmakon("claim, medicine, poison, or remedy") and logos ("study").
