Chemistry concepts taught by Ismail
The Student and Tutor discussed neuron function, covering vesicle transport, receptor types, and the mechanisms of action of various toxins and anesthetics. The Student reviewed the differences between endocytosis/exocytosis, nicotinic/muscarinic receptors, and the roles of sodium and potassium in neuron function. The next steps involve reviewing class notes to further detail specific pathways and mechanisms.
Anesthetics and Neuronal Excitability
The Sodium-Potassium Pump and Action Potentials
Nicotinic vs. Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors
Comparison of Endocytosis
Phagocytosis
and Pinocytosis
Clathrin's Role in Vesicle Formation
Endocytosis and Exocytosis as Active Transport
The student and tutor discussed DNA mutations and their impact on protein synthesis. The student chose to focus on insertion mutations for a poster project. The tutor reviewed various mutation types and clarified the structural requirements for accurately depicting DNA mutations in the poster, including the 5' and 3' ends.
