opioid peptides (endorphins)

A Delta carries info about

pain and temperature

pain, temperature, itch

multiple sclerosis is caused by

plaque formation

neurotransmitters produce _____________

post-synaptic potentials

EPSP and IPSP happens where:

postsynaptic

passive propagation is when

postsynaptic

graded summation is during

pruning

astrocytes remove the neurotransmitters

removal by glial cells

the neurotransmitter molecule is taken back into the axon terminal where it was released

reuptake

two primary types of myelin

schwann and oligodendrites

what produces myelin for our ulnar nerve

schwann cells

pain regulation, appetite deals with what neurotransmitter

serotonin

lidocaine binds with our __________ of our _________ fibers. there's no sodium, so no action potential, so no pain

sodium channels, C

Add up the IPSPs and EPSPs that come in at the same time:

spatial summation

substance p

where communication takes place

synapses

neurotransmitters are stored in ___________ near the ____________

synaptic vesicles, presynaptic membrane

binding of neurotransmitter to receptor

synthesis

if drugs increase availability of neurotransmitter, it increases ________

synthesis of neurotransmitter, causes NT to be released, block re-uptake, breakdown, facilitate release of neurotransmitter

Determine which ones are coming in fastest:

temporal summation

transmits signals to other neurons (releases neurotransmitters)

terminal buttons

myelinated axons can transmit info up to ___________ times faster than unmylinated

100

hypopolarization =

EPSP

bundles of axons in brain

Fasciculus

How does information travel through the nervous system?

Neurons become excited Send an electrical signal down the axon called an action potential Electrical signal reaches end of axon (in the spinal cord) Causes chemical (neurotransmitter) to be released into synapse Neurotransmitter binds to dendrites of next neuron Excites neuron Sends action potential down it's axon

ganglion are found in the

PNS

schwann cells are in the

PNS

changes in the ion concentration on the postsynaptic membrane (can be either excitatory or inhibitory)

Postsynaptic potential

in charge of muscle contraction

acetylcholine

when you raise your hand to answer a question?

acetylcholine

which neurotransmitter does botox block?

acetylcholine-- bc it stops the muscle from contracting

Depolarization is during

action potential

active propagation

action potential

if enough EPSPs=

action potential

neurons send an electrical signal down the axon called an

action potential

afferent

used to describe neurons in the brain that carry info to another part of the brain

afferent

Categories of neurons

afferent, efferent, interneurons

axonal transport appears to slow with ________ and ___________

aging, neurodegenerative diseases

acts like the neurotransmitter

agonist

key fits and opens lock ex

agonist

neurodenegerative diseases example
