Neurotransmission and Caffeine

The junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron.

• axon

• synapse

• dendrite

• vesicle

The receiving part of a neuron.

• Dendrite

• Axon terminal

• Axon

• Axon terminal vesicles

After the neurotransmitter sends the signal to the receiving neuron, what can occur to the neurotransmitters?

• Reuptake by a transporter protein

• They can be dissolved

• They can be reabsorbed

When an electricity reaches the axon terminal it causes...

• vesicles to migrate towards and fuse with the end of the axon.

• neurotransmitter molecules to bind to the receptor sites on the postsynaptic cell

• enzymes to breakdown leftover molecules of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft

Vesicles are tiny sacs or pouches in the presynaptic (sending) neuron that contain

• sodium ions

• neurotransmitter molecules

• Schwann cells

• Nodes of Ranvier

Neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synapse before binding to ...... on the post synaptic cell

• receptors

• schwann cells

• the nodes of Ranvier

• the axon hillock

What is W?

• Axon Terminal Button

• Neurotransmitters

• Dendrite

• Synapse

What is Y?

• Axon terminal

• Neurotransmitters

• Dendrite

• Synapse

Where are neurotransmitters located within in neuron?

• axon terminals

• dendrites

• Schwann cells

• cell body

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

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

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