What is the synapse?
The space between two neurons where the signal passes onto the next
200
What structures are included in the CNS?
Brain and spinal cord
300
What is the function of the dendrites?
Receive signals from neighboring neurons

500
Explain what causes some drugs to become addictive (include the neurotransmitter that is involved)
Some drugs stimulate the release of dopamine (or mimic dopamine) to cause a feeling of pleasure. People become addicted to that pleasure and will repeat the behavior to replicate the "good" feeling

Explain the functions of both neurons and glial cells in the body
Neurons -- transmit signals across body
Glial cells -- support and protect neurons
