Neurons and Neurotransmitters

Which neurotransmitter is released in response to stress and trauma?

• Acetylcholine
• Endorphins
• Serotonin
• GABA

Which neurotransmitter inhibits brain activity?

• Acetylcholine
• GABA
• Endorphins
• Dopamine

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate:

• learning and memory
• pain and pleasure
• muscle movements
• sleep, moods/emotions

Too much of this neurotransmitter can cause severe muscle spasms and even death

• Serotonin
• Endorphins
• Acetylcholine
• GABA

All of the following mimic the neurotransmitter GABA except

• Alcohol
• Valium
• Xanax
• Heroin

Prozac works to combat depression by keeping this neurotransmitter in the synapse longer:

• Serotonin
• Acetylcholine
• GABA
• Endorphins

This neurotransmitter is most often associated with pleasure/reward sensations:

• Acetylcholine
• GABA
• Dopamine
• Serotonin

What is a neurotransmitter?

• fatty covering of the axon
• nerve cell
• chemical messenger
• gap between neurons

Which neurotransmitter is involved in muscle movements?

• Acetylcholine
• Endorphins
• Serotonin
• GABA

Which is the correct sequence in the transmission of a neural impulse?

• axon, dendrite, cell body, synapse
• dendrite, axon, cell body, synapse
• synapse, axon, dendrite, cell body
• dendrite, cell body, axon, synapse
