Neurotransmitters
agonists /antagonists
Neurons Firing
Random
100
- What type of neuron connects a sensory neuron to a motor neuron?
Interneuron
100
Where are the neurotransmitters found in a neuron?
Terminal buttons
100
This type of drug is most likely to cause an action potential?
Agonist
100
When a neuron becomes depolarized this is called a
Action Potential
100
A neuron will either respond fully or not at all to a stimulus, regardless of the stimulus's strength or duration. This principal is called the
All or None Principle
200
What is another name for a motor neuron?
Efferent Neuron
200
Which type of neurotransmitter is most likely to cause an action potential?
Excitatory
200
This agonist mimics your body's endorphins and can dull the perception of pain
opiates
200
The time shortly after a neuron fires, and cannot fire again is called the
Refractory Period / hyperpolarization
200
Transmitter molecules that relay neural messages which are recycled back to the terminal buttons of the sending neuron is known as
reuptake
300
What is the space between a presynaptic and post synaptic neuron called?
Synapse
300
Which neurotransmitter is most associated with motivation, addiction, reward and learning?
Dopamine
300
This drug is an agonist for the increase in production of seronin
SSRI and or Prozac
300
During an action potential, the electrical state of the axon changes to become
depolarized / negative to positive
300
What does each number represent
1. dendrites
2. Soma
3. Axon
4 Terminal Buttons
400
Where is the nucleus of a neuron located?
Soma
400
Which neurotransmitter is associated with depression?
Serotonin
400
This drug is an antagonist for acetylcholine and is used in cosmetic surgery
Botox
400
When the inside of a neuron has a higher concentration of negative ions than the outside and is not firing we call the state
Resting Potential
400
What neurotransmitter is associated with memory deficits especially the formation of new memories?
Acetylcholine
500
What is the name of the covering of some axons especially in the peripheral nervous system? that cover the axon
Myelin Sheath / Schwann Cells
500
Which neurotransmitter is known as your neural brake?
GABA
500
Medicine such as Advil or Tylenol are analgesics which block or inhibit the transmission of pain. A drug that blocks a message is known as
Antagonist
500
What type of signal occurs along the axon during depolarization?
electrical
500
Where are the sensory aka afferent neurons found?
Peripheral Nervous system
