What is 1-10k?

100

These two types of glia build the myelin sheath.

What are oligodendroglia and Schwann cells?

100

Actions of neurotransmitters depend on these two factors.

What are receptors and areas being acted upon?

100

To enhance neuron survival, SSRIs do this to save the day.

What is increase 5HT as an agonist?

100

With sleep compared to wakefulness, neurons present this type of activity.

What is synchronous activity? 

200

The inside of the neuron is ___________ with respect to the outside of the cell.

What is negative?

200

Microglia creates this, but must maintain a healthy balance to not kill the cell.

What is inflammation?

200

This structure holds neurotransmitters, is pushed to the edge by Ca+, and releases the neurotransmitters.

What are synaptic vesicles? 

200

This drug activates GABA receptors.

What are benzodiazepines? 

200

During non REM sleep, heart rate, respiration, and temperature do this.

What is drop to near death?

300

These motor neurons responsible for sending information out of the central nervous system.

What are efferent neurons?

300

This type of glia contributes to multiple segments of the myelin sheath.

What is oligodendroglia? 

300

Depolarization refers to this ion flowing into the cell, making it less negative.

What is Na+?

300

Medications such as Naltrexone blocks receptors, making it this type of substance.

What is antagonistic?

300

Two indications of sleep and consolidation of memory.

What are sleep spindles and K-complexes?

400

These sensory neurons are responsible for processing incoming sensory information.

What are afferent neurons?

400

Glia reuptakes this neurotransmitter to avoid killing the cell.

What is glutamate?

400

A neuron relying on changes between inside and outside of the cell is known as this.

What is resting potential?

400

This condition can be related to neurons not being able to keep up with the production of ATP.

What is depression?

400

When conducting electroencephalograms (EEGs), these are being measured.

What are graded potentials?

500

Neurons have this type of membrane to prevent entrance of disease and larger molecules.

What is a selectively permeable membrane?

500

Provide at least 3 functions of astroglia.

What are forming BBB, control blood flow, regulating glymphatic system, neuroplasticity, memory and plasticity, self communication?


500

This aspect of neurotransmission is critical for keeping the action potential flowing in one direction and sets a firing limit.

What is undershoot?

500

Hallucinogens stimulate the 5HT2 receptor, making them this type of substance.

What is a serotonergic agonist?

500
