Podcast
The name of the podcast we used for this lesson.
What is Teach me Biology?
This is the general definition of what a synapse is
What is the main way the body communicates with itself
This is the main purpose of acetylcholine.
What is the firing of motor neurons and affecting voluntary movements?
This is the type of drug Noradrenaline is.
These are competitive inhibitors that bind to dopamine receptors.
What are Dopamine Suppressors?
These are the hosts of the podcast.
Who are Ria Corbett and Sarah Mathews?
These are ions which sodium-potassium pumps and potassium channels move, repolarizing them along the way.
What are Na+ and K+ ions?
These are the three main functions of dopamine
what is motivation, pleasure, and satisfaction?
This drug is both excitatory and inhibitory
What is Dopamine?
What is Acetylcholine?
Dopamine receptors are inhibited by this drug.
What is risperidone?
This is what the podcast covers.
What is the function of the synapse?
What are synapse-synapse connections and what is the difference between it and synapse-muscle connections?
What is Acetylcholine and other Neurotransmitters?
What are the uses of various drugs?
This is the type of charge a neuron has (positive or negative)
What is a negative charge?
This is the type of drug Glutamine is.
What is an excitatory drug?
This is the type of drug Serotonin is
What is an inhibitory drug?
This is something which utilizes the disruption of acetylcholinesterase to prevent all basic nerve function throughout the body.
What is nerve gas?
This the podcast's relation to the curriculum. Specifically, in-class topics.
What are drugs used for enzyme inhibition?
What are Active and passive inhibitors?
What are Inter-synapse Enzymes?
What are Intermembrane Proteins, action potential, and crossing the membrane?
These are the three main types of neurotransmitters
What are excitatory, inhibitory, and modulatory neurotransmitters?
This drug acts as a chemical messenger.
What is dopamine?
This is the type of drug Histamine is.
What is excitatory drug?
Flooding neuron clefts with false activators can force this to happen.
What is releasing excessive dopamine.
This is the podcast's relation to the curriculum. Specifically, instances mentioned from the course curriculum.
•B1.1: analyze technological applications related to enzyme activity in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
•E1.1: assess, on the basis of findings from a case study, the effects on the human body of taking chemical substances to enhance performance or improve health.
•E3.1: describe the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine, excretory, and nervous systems, and explain how these systems interact to maintain homeostasis.
These are the ions that ion channels let in to make it less polar.
What is Na+, Ca2+, and Cl-?
This is the effect excess Dopamine has on the body.
What is becoming more competitive, aggressive, and having poor impulse control?
This is the enzyme which degrades excess Acetylcholine in the body.
What is acetylcholinesterase?
These four drugs are common examples of false activators. (Need to list all of them)
What is caffeine?
What is methamphetamine?
What is cocaine?
what is nicotine?
