In exocytosis, what is one possible advantage of the kiss and run mode over the release of all neurotransmitter molecules in a vesicle?
 
  a. Signaling across the synapse is much faster.
 b. Fewer action potentials are needed in order to signal.
 c. Regaining the resting potential in the axon terminal occurs much faster.
 d. Neurons need fewer autoreceptors.

Question 2

What do neuroscientists mean when they use the term kiss and run?
 
  a. The presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes actually touch or kiss..
 b. Synaptic vesicles touch or kiss each other inside the presynaptic terminal.
 c. Neurotransmitter molecules kiss receptors, and then return to the synaptic gap.
 d. Synaptic vesicles kiss the axon terminal membrane, releasing only a part of their contents.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As of yet, there is no cure. Everyone is at risk, and there may be no warning signs. It is six to eight times more common in African Americans than in whites. The best and most effective way to detect glaucoma is to receive a dilated eye examination.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Adults are resistant to the bacterium that causes Botulism. These bacteria thrive in honey – therefore, honey should never be given to infants since their immune systems are not yet resistant.

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.
