Question 19

What synapse

Answer 19

A crucial junction bettwen the 2 neuron or between the nueron and another cell

Question 20

Importance of synapse?

Answer 20

Information processing: allow complex processing and integration of info. Within the numeral network

Plasticity: can be strengthen or weaken overtime base on the activity

Modulation: the strength and efficacy of synaptic transmission

Question 21

Are the chemical messengers the transmit signals across the synapse from 1 neuron to another

Answer 21

Neutrotransmitters

Question 22

Dopamine - norepinephrine- serotonin

Answer 22

Sleep, mood, learning
Heart, Intestine, allertness
Sleep, mood

Question 23

What is drugs?

Answer 23

Substance that can alter the structure and function of the body and brain

Question 24

Drugs that treat psychiatric symptoms by restoring neutrotransmitter balance

Answer 24

Psychotropic medication

Question 25

2 types of drugs

Answer 25

Agonis- strengthen the effect of neutrotransmitter
Antagonist- blocks or impedes the normal activity of a give n

Question 26

Types of agonis or antagonist

Answer 26

Full agonist- activate receptor to produce maximal biological response
Ex. Morphine: produce strong pain relief
Fentanyl:another potent opiod agonis

Partial agonist: bind to receptor but activated them less effectively than full agonis
Ex. Buprenorphine: use treating opiod addiction

Hallicinogens:
Lsd: causes strong changes in how you see and feel things
Magic mushrooms:altering your reality
Cannabis: can alter your mood and perception

Alcohol
