Describe the chemical and electrical signals

Expert Solution

CHEMICAL SIGNAL	ELECTRICAL SIGNAL
During chemical signal the electrical activity occurs in the presynaptic neuron can be converted into the release of chemical called neurotransmitter that binds to the receptors present in the post synaptic neuron	During electrical signal the membrane of the two cells are in touch and causes the transmission of action potential diretly from one membrane to another membrane
Chemical signal occurs in most of the synaptic junstion	Electrical signal occurs in lateral vestibular nucleus, hippocampus and cerebral cortex
Signal transmitted in unidirectional	Signal transmitted in either direction
The speed of information is slow	The speed of informstion is fast
Excitatory or inhibitory in nature	Excitatory in nature
Post synaptic signal is different as compared to presynaptic signal	Post synaptic signal is similar to presynaptic signal
It is sensitive to hypoxia	Insensitive to hypoxia

Chemical signals of mice.Consider Refer to the Cell (May 14, 2010) study of the ability of a mouse to recognize the odor of a potential predator, Exercise 3.63 (p. 143). Recall that theThe sources of these odors are typically major urinary proteins (Mups). In an experiment, 40% of lab mice cells exposed to chemically produced cat Mups responded positively (i.e., recognized the danger of the lurking predator). Consider a sample of 100 lab mice cells, each exposed to chemically produced...
