Difference between Chemical synapse and Photoreceptor cell

Chemical synapse vs. Photoreceptor cell

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Similarities between Chemical synapse and Photoreceptor cell

Chemical synapse and Photoreceptor cell have 14 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Adenosine triphosphate, Axon, Cell (biology), Cell membrane, Depolarization, Hyperpolarization (biology), Ligand-gated ion channel, Membrane potential, Mitochondrion, Neurotransmitter, Principles of Neural Science, Receptor (biochemistry), Retina.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic chemical that participates in many processes.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Hyperpolarization (biology)

Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative.

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Membrane potential

The term "membrane potential" may refer to one of three kinds of membrane potential.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Principles of Neural Science

First published in 1981 by Elsevier, Principles of Neural Science is an influential neuroscience textbook edited by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz, and Thomas M. Jessell.

Receptor (biochemistry)

In biochemistry and pharmacology, a receptor is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell.

Chemical synapse and Photoreceptor cell Comparison

Chemical synapse has 104 relations, while Photoreceptor cell has 107. As they have in common 14, the Jaccard index is 6.64% = 14 / (104 + 107).
