Question
Answer
Propagation of Action Potential   show
🗑
Deploration Na+   show
🗑
show self propagated along membrane; can be progagated via continuous or saltatory conduction, depending on myelin  
🗑
Continuous Conduction   show
🗑
show occurs in myelinated axons; deplorization occurs only at nodes of ranvier (where ion channels are); current is carried through ECF and "jumps" from node to node  
🗑
show ions only have to diffuse at nodes not across the entire membrane; this allows for more rapid conduction of action potentials  
🗑
factors that affect speed of Impulse Conduction   show
🗑
Calcium ions   show
🗑
show impulses are transmitted repeatedly (muscle spasms); fetus may take up to much calcium and cause mother to cramp a lot.  
🗑
show AP's conduct directly between adjacent cells through gap junctions; AP spreads from cell to cell via cytosol  
🗑
show common in visceral smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and developing embryo; conduction is faster than chemical synapse; allows synchronization-a large number of neurons can produce AP's in unison-coordinated contraction  
🗑
Gap Junctions   show
🗑
show AP is transferred from teh presynaptic ("sending") neuron to the postsynaptic ("receiving") neuron across a synaptic cleft  
🗑
Chemical synapse 2   show
🗑
show if the neurotransmitter causes opening of Na+ channels; Na+ diffuses in - membrane depolarizes; if enough Na+ channels open to reach threshold nerve impulse will be generated  
🗑
Inhibitory (effects of neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
show each neuron in brain and spinal cord may receive neurotransmitters from hundreds of nerve fibers; some neurotransmitters may be excitatory or inhibitory; sum of excitatory+inhibitory messages determines whether AP will be generated in postsynaptic neuron  
🗑
Removal of Neurotransmitter   show
🗑
Diffusion (Removal of Neurotransmitter)   show
🗑
show enzyme from postsynaptic neuron breaks down NT after AP has been generated; Acetycholine & acetylcholinesterase; epinephrine and monoamine oxidase  
🗑
show NT may be actively transported into neighboring neuroglial cells (uptake) or into presynaptic neuron (re-uptake)  
🗑
show re-uptake of blocks dopamine (produces continued stimulation pleasure  
🗑
show keeps deficient serotonin in cleft as long as possible (elevates mood, relieves depression)  
🗑
drug effects on re-uptake (MAO-monamine oxidase inhibitors)   show
🗑
Acetylcholine (ACh) (representative neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
Amino Acid (representative neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
show Glycine is inhibitory NT for other 1/2;  
🗑
show enhances binding GABA=increasing inhibition=decreases anxiety  
🗑
Huntington's disease   show
🗑
show blocks glycine receptors on skeletal muscles=no inhibition of excessive contraction=can't relax muscles, including diaphragm=can't breathe  
🗑
Norepinephrine (representative neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
Dopamine (representative neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
Serotonin (representative neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
Endorphins and enkephalins (representative neurotransmitters)   show
🗑
show when released in sensory nerves, transmits pain related info to CNS; endorphins and enkephalins suppress release; 200x stronger than morphine  
🗑
chemical synapse (AP process step 1)   show
🗑
show calcium ions in ECF diffuse into the presynaptic neuron  
🗑
show calcium ions trigger exoctosis of vesicles containing neurotransmitters (NT)  
🗑
show NT is released into the synaptic cleft and diffuses across to the postsynaptic neuron; receptors in the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron bind NT  
🗑
chemical synapse (AP process step 5)   show
🗑
chemical synapse (AP process step 6-7)   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
