Dendrite - Cell Body - Axon Terminal Endings - Axon
Cell Body - Axon - Axon Terminal Endings - Dendrite
Cell Body - Dendrite - Axon - Axon Terminal Endings
Dendrite - Cell Body - Axon - Axon Terminal Endings
What does the Myelin Sheath cover?
Cell Body
Dendrite(s)
Neuron
Axon
I transport the action potential from the cell body to the terminal endings. What am I?
Axon
Myelin Sheath
Neurotransmitters
SSRIs
What do dendrites do? (One word answer)
(a)
Communication WITHIN a neuron is considered
(a)
The (a) is the law that tells us that a action potential either fires all the way or not at all
Communication BETWEEN neurons is considered
Electrical
Chemical
Emotional
Physical
When a neuron is at its resting potential, where are the synaptic vesicles held?
In the Axon
In the Dendrites
In the Axon Terminal Endings
In the Cell Body
Synaptic Vesicles hold
(a)
After neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal endings, what do they cross to reach the receptor sites?
(a)
Select the two types of messages/input that neurotransmitters can relay to a post-synaptic neuron
Inhibitory
Prohibitory
Excitatory
Negatory
During Reuptake, what two things might happen too neurotransmitters?
Fizzle out and are rendered useless
Reabsorbed into the axon terminal endings
Broken down by enzymes in the synapse
Are sent to the post synaptic neuron's axon terminal endings
When a neuron reaches the (a) , it fires an action potential down the axon
Select the options that are ways that a drug can impact neurotransmitters
The drug can stop the body from producing a neurotransmitter
The drug can simulate the message a neurotransmitter sends
The drug can prevent the process of reuptake from occuring
The drug can force neurotransmitters to enter the cell body from the receptor site
The more often a person gets high on a specific drug, the longer the sensation lasts
True
False
What is the purpose of the Myelin Sheath
To speed up the transmission of the Action Potential down the Axon
To protect the Cell Body from viruses
To increase the number of Neurotransmitters the Synaptic Vesicles can hold
