Parts of Neuron
Receives inputs from other neurons.
Dendrite
Resting potential.
-65 mV
Brain Directions: Above/Below
Superior/Inferior.
Primary inhibitory neurotransmitter.
GABA
Sends outputs to other neurons.
Axon
Sac in which neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal.
Synaptic vessicle
Brain Directions: In front of/ behind.
Anterior/Posterior.
Most common excitatory neurotransmitter.
Glutamate.
Insulating layer of axon
Myelin sheath.
Channels that directly connect neurons.
Gap junction
Type of neuron with two extensions.
Bipolar neuron.
Feel-good neurotransmitters.
Dopamine and serotonin
Nodes of Ranvier
Mechanism that recycles neurotransmitters.
Reuptake mechanism
Name the four brain lobes.
Frontal, Occipital, Parietal, and Temporal.
Found at the neuromuscular junction.
Acetylcholine (ACh).
Where nerve impulses are generated.
Axon hillock
synaptic potential that makes action potential more/less likely
EPSP/IPSP
Cells that support the nervous system (i.e. cells that form myelin sheath-- oligodendrocyte)
Glia
Coincidence detector channel.
NMDA channel
