Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the purpose of the neuroglia cell | to structurally and functionally support the neurons |
what are examples of the CNS | astrocyte and oligondendrocytes |
Examples is PNS | Schwann cells` |
Synaptic Transmission? | the impulse |
Synapse | junction between 2 neurons or a neuron and target cell |
telodendron | branched structure on presynaptic neurons |
synaptic cleft | gap between the two cells |
neurotransmitter | chemical stimulates and bridges the synaptic cleft |
Presynaptic neurons | depolarization wave to the synapse and releasing the chemical to stimulate the cell |
postsynaptic neurons | neuron that contains the receptor and receives the neurotransmitter |
Terminal/synaptic end bulb | slightly enlarged bulb that contains many mitochondria that provides energy to the proccesses |
receptors | specialized proteins on a posy synaptic membrane "lock and key" |
Primary neurotransmitter of sympathetic nervous system | norepinephrine |
Adrenergic neurons | neurons that release norepinephrine |
Primary neurotransmitter of parasympathetic | Acetylcholine |
cholinergic neurons | neurons that release acetylcholine |
nicotinic acetylcholine recptors | located at the neromuscular junction |
muscarinic acteylcholine recptors | target organs |
how many neuroglia cells per neuron | 10:1 |
parts of the neurons | dendrites, cell body, axon, nodes of ranvier, telodendron |
neuron function | not stimulating is the resting state |
Polarization | negative inside and positive outside |
depolarization | stimulated impules from an adjoining neuron . |
telodendron | branched structure on presynaptic neuron |
what are the 2 classifications of nerotransmitters | exciting neurotransmitters(depolarization of the membrane) and inhibatory neurotransmitters(hyperpolarization) |
Vessels(alpha1) | adrenergic receptors, vasoconstriction of the skin,GI tract and kidney |
Heart(beta1) | adrenergic receptors increase heart rate and force of constriction |
bronchioles (beta2) | adrenergic receptors cause bronchodialation |
catecholamines | norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine |
GABA | found in the brain , helps tranquilization w/sedation |
Glycine | found in the spinal cord |
