Which one of the following is an experimental evidence that demonstrates the reverse-transport model of amphetamine action? At high concentration of amphetamine,

a. it shows saturation kinetics when all the transporters are occupied and reversed.

b. it requires Ca++ ions entry to release neuotransmitters.

c. it requires action potential firings at the pre-synaptic terminal

. d. it is broken down by the COMT enzyme at the synapse, rendering it useless.

e. it is synthesized by the presynaptic neuron

33. When the reuptake of dopamine is blocked by the Ritalin™ or cocaine molecule, what would happen?

a. increase in dopamine synthesis by the presynaptic neuron

b. decrease in dopamine synthesis by the presynaptic neuron

c. dopamine level at the synaptic cleft would be prolonged

d. dopamine level at the synaptic cleft would be decreased

e. enhance the release of dopamine from the presynaptic terminal.

Which experiment is used to prove that release of dopamine induced by amphetamine is not coming from vesicular release? a. dopamine is released by activation of action potentials in the presynaptic neuron without amphetamine. b. dopamine release only in the presence of magnesium. c. dopamine release is dependent on depolarization of post-synaptic cell. d. dopamine release from axon terminal can occur in Ca++ free medium. e. dopamine release is quantal in amount.

A drug is administered thatcauses voltage gated calcium channels on synaptic knobs to remain open for 10

times the normal amount of time.Then a motor neuron is stimulated to fire at its maximum rate of 1000

action potentials per second for 5 minutes.What do you observe at the neuromuscular junction while the

neuron is stimulated?
