This type of neurotransmitter is the best understood, and is released at the neuromuscular junctions. It is degraded and broken down by acetylcholinesterase.
GABA
Catecholamines
Dopamine
Acetylcholine
This class of neurotransmitters includes catecholamines and indolamines, such s dopamine, epinephrine, and neuroepinephrine
Amino Acids
Purines
Biogenic Amines
Peptides
Neurotransmitters can have two main types of effects, including ______________ functions, where they active different regions of the body, and ________________ functions, where they act to block different bodily actions?
Excitatory, Contraction
Excitatory, Inhibition
Inhibition, Excitatory
None of the Above
True or False: Neurotransmitters can have both direct and indirect effects throughout the body.
True
False
What are chemical messenger released by the neuron which affects the strength of synaptic transmission?
Neurotransmitters
Axons
Action Potentials
Neuromodulators
True or False: The first step in the neurotransmitter pathway, is the binding of a neurotransmitter to a receptor.
True
False
After the neurotransmitter reaches the receptor, it will activate which of the following structures?
G-Protein
Enzyme
2nd Messenger
Ligand
After the G-Protein is activated, it will trigger the activation of __________-?
2nd Messenger
Enzyme
Receptor
Ligand
What is the scientific name for a group of neurons that will process and forward the "message" to other neurons?
Axon
Neuron Sheath
Neuronal Pool
Neuronal Group
The zone of the neuronal pool that is closer to incoming fibers are more likely to generate an impulse is known as what?
Discharge Zone
Facilitated Zone
This zone is on periphery of neuronal pools, which are farther away from incoming fiber; usually not excited to threshold unless stimulated by another source.
Discharge Zone
Facilitated Zone
A diverging circuit is one where....
The signal is spread to other neurons.
The signal converges on a single neuron.
A convergent neural circuit is....
When neuron signals condense on a single neuron.
When the neuron message is spread to other neurons.
These are the building blocks that make up all of our proteins, but also include some members that act as neurotransmitters, including glutamate, aspartate, glycine, and GABA.
Acetylcholines
Indolamines
Catecholamines
Amino Acids
This class of neurotransmitters act at the same receptors as THC (active ingredient in marijauna), and are involved in learning and memory.
Acetylcholamines
Endocannibinoids
Indolamines
Amino Acids
These chemical messengers released by neuron do not directly cause electrical action potential signals, but instead affect the strength of transmission, including affecting the synthesis, release, degradation nor re-uptake of the neurotransmitter.
Action Potentials
Vesicles
Neuromodulators
Neurotransmitters
What are rapid, automatic responses to stimuli?
Reflexes
Jolts
Twitch
Reactions
True or False: If axons do not form a synapse with their target, they are triggered to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death)?
True
False
Which of the following the correct order of a reflex arc?
Receptor, Sensory Neuron, Integration, Motor Neuron, Effector
Receptor, Motor Neuron, Integration, Sensory Neuron, Effector
Receptor, Sensory Neuron, Motor Neuron, Integration, Effector
Effector, Sensory Neuron, Integration, Motor Neuron, Receptor
What are the chemical messengers of the nervous system, and are released once an action potential travels down an axon and reaches the synaptic cleft of the axon terminal?
Neurons
Hormones
Proteins
Neurotransmitters
