100

A chemical messenger that can travel across the synapse.

What is a neurotransmitter?

100

The neuron at rest with a membrane potential of -70mv.

What is resting membrane potential?

100

This type of transport moves things along the concentration gradient.

What is passive transport?

100

This part of the neuron receives incoming messages.

What are dendrites?

100

This channel allows for the passive transport of Naions along the concentration gradient when a ligand binds to the channel.

What is a ligand-gated Nachannel?

200

This organelle contains neurotransmitter.

What is a vesicle?

200

-80mv, when too much potassium has left the cell

What is hyperpolarization?

200

The type of transport that allows molecules to travel against the concentration gradient.

What is active transport?

200

The zone of communication between to neurons.

What is the synapse?

200

This channel allows for the movement of Na+ ions along the concentration gradients when the channel senses a certain voltage.

What is a voltage gated Na+ channel?

300

This type of clearance occurs at all synapses.

What is diffusion?

300

A flow of sodium ions moving into the cell causing an increase in positivity inside the cell?

What is depolarization?

300

The sodium potassium pump allows this amount of sodium ions out of the cell. 

What is 3?

300

This part of the neuron house vesicles that contain neurotransmitter. 

What is the axon terminal?

300

A difference of concentrations between two regions. For example, inside and outside the cell.

What is a concentration gradient?

400

This is the byproduct of enzyme degradation.

What is metabolite?

400

A flow of potassium ions to the outside of the cell causing a decrease in positivity on the inside of the cell.

What is repolarization?

400

A type of passive transport used to move ions and polar molecules with the assistance of channels.

What is facilitated diffusion?

400

This type of brain cells do not transmit messages but instead support the nervous system.

What are glial cells?

400

Miley Cyrus sang a song about waving her hands and having a party in this country.

What is the USA?

500

This neurotransmitter is involved in the flight or fight response.

What is epinephrine/norepinephrine? 

500

During this time a neuron cannot send another signal.

What is refractory period?

500

The type of transport that allows neurotransmitter to exit the cell/

What is exocytosis?

500

This part of the neuron encapsulates the axon and allows for faster neural signaling.

What is the myelin sheath?

500

Your teacher's dog breed.

What is a husky?
