Anatomy
This is the conducting portion of a neuron.
Axon
This ion is found primarily OUTSIDE the cell at the beginning of an action potential.
Sodium. (Na)
This neurotransmitter is often released after accomplishment. It gives you a sensation of "feeling good".
Dopamine
This receptor help to identify things as hot or cold.
Thermoreceptor
True or False: Passive transport requires energy.
False
This protects and supports the axon.
Myelin Sheath
When the overall charge of the inside of the cell becomes more positive, it is called THIS.
Depolarization
This neurotransmitter is a mood stabilizer. When levels are off, it can lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Serotonin
This receptor, located in the retina, helps us recognize light.
photoreceptors
This type of neuron is part of the CNS, and transmits signals from the PNS to the brain.
Interneuron
This is the name of the small area between a synapse, where neurotransmitters flow.
Gap Junction
A brief electrical event that occurs when the voltage across a cell membrane rapidly changes.
Action Potential
This neurotransmitter is responsible for strong emotional bonds- like those between families, and partners.
oxytocin
This receptor is sensitive to pressure and stretching.
mechanoreceptors.
This part of the nervous system is responsible for things we have conscious control over.
Somatic Nervous System
The area of the neuron that contains the nucleus is called...
Cell Body or Soma
Where is Potassium located AFTER Repolarization?
Outside of the cell.
This neurotransmitter helps with motor control and memory. When levels are off, it can lead to issues like Parkinson's Disease.
Acetylcholine
This receptor senses changes in blood pressure, and is located in the aortic arch.
Baroreceptor
This is the point where two neurons come together to communicate through electrical or chemical signals.
Synapse
These transmit signals from the axon of one neuron to the axons of the next neuron.
Dendrites
What is the name of the pump used during an action potential that requires ATP?
Sodium/Potassium Pump
A chemical messenger that allows neurons to communicate with each other and other cells in the body.
Neurotransmitter
This receptor helps us to identify pain.
Nocioreceptor
These neurons cause muscle movement in response to stimuli.
