PART 1There are several features necessary for chemical transmission at synapses. There are structural as well as functional aspects of these features.Each feature is a multi-step functional component of chemical transmission at synapses in the nervous system.Question:(1) Select a requirement of synaptic transmission(2) Describe its structural (anatomical) and its functional (physiological) features, and be sure to include how these contribute to synaptic transmissionExamples of synaptic features include:vesicular storage of neurotransmitter (chemical messengers in nervous system)vesicular release of neurotransmitterrelease of neurotransmitterbinding of neurotransmitter to postsynaptic receptorsavailability of ions in the intracellular and extracellular spaces, and their concentrationsPART 2Synapses can be studied in terms of structure and function.Below are a few techniques used to study synapses.QUESTION:(1) Conduct research on one of the techniques listed below or on another method of your choosing(2) Find and provide an image or graphic that supports your findings about this technique(3) Explain the technique you selected in your own words(4) Explain how the image you selected demonstrates the techniqueHere are a few techniques you can consider. Select one technique from the list below or one of your own choosing:Electron microscopyScanning microscopyReceptor binding or pharmacological (drug) binding studieslight microscopyfluorescent microscopyradiolabeling with radioactive tracershorseradish peroxidase stainingsynapse-specific proteins and chemicals like synapsin and SNAP25antibody labeling
