Neural Firing

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

Which neurotransmitter is involved in muscle movements?

• Acetylcholine
• Endorphins
• Serotonin
• GABA

The part of the neuron that receives messages from other neurons

• axon

• dendrite

• cell body

• Schwann cell

The location of neurotransmitters

• axon terminals

• dendrites

• Schwann cells

• cell body

Type of synapse which increases the chance of the next neuron firing

• Inhibitory

• Excitatory

• Neurotransmitters

• Neuron

Type of synapse which decreases the chance of the next neuron firing

• Inhibitory

• Excitatory

• Neurotransmitters

• Neuron

Cells in the nervous system that support, nourish, and protect neurons; they also play a role in learning, thinking, and memory.

• dopamine

• serotonin

• glial cells

• myelin cells

A neurons reaction of either firing (with a full length response) or not firing.

• all-or-none response

• refractory period

• threshold

• action potential
