Place the following events in a chemical synapse in the correct order: (1) release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, (2) arrival of nerve impulse at the presynaptic neurons synaptic end bulb (or varicosity), (3) either depolarization or hyperpolarization of postsynaptic membrane, (4) inward flow of Ca2_ through activated voltage-gated Ca2_ channels in the synaptic end bulb membrane, (5) exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, (6) opening of ligand-gated channels on the postsynaptic plasma membrane, (7) binding of neurotransmitters to receptors in the postsynaptic neurons plasma membrane.

9. Which of the following statements are true? (1) If the excitatory effect is greater than the inhibitory effect but less than the threshold of stimulation, the result is a subthreshold EPSP. (2) If the excitatory effect is greater than the inhibitory effect and reaches or surpasses the threshold level of stimulation, the result is a threshold or suprathreshold EPSP and one or more nerve impulses. (3) If the inhibitory effect is greater than the excitatory effect, the membrane hyperpolarizes, resulting in inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron and the inability of the neuron to generate a nerve impulse. (4) The greater the summation of hyperpolarizations, the more likely a nerve impulse will be initiated. (a) 1 and 4 (b) 2 and 4 (c) 1, 3, and 4 (d) 2, 3, and 4 (e) 1, 2, and 3 10.
