Biopsych - Neurons And Synaptic Transmittion

Question 1

Synapse

Answer 1

Point where one neuron presynaptic can send a chemical message to an adjacent neuron postsynaptic

Question 2

Neurotransmitters

Answer 2

Chemical messages released by neurons stimulating or inhibiting the development of an action potential

Question 3

Excitatory neurotransmitter

Answer 3

Detected by receptors electrical charge positive depolarisation

More chance of action potential
Adrenaline

Question 4

Inhibitory neurotransmitters

Answer 4

Detected by receptors they the post synaptic neuron making it more negative hypolarizarion

Less likely for action potential
Serotonin

Question 5

Reuptake

Answer 5

Neurotransmitters are absorbed into presynaptic cell after trasmitting a neural impulse transport protein prepares cell to fire again

Question 6

All neurons have

Answer 6

Cell body
Nucleus
Dendrites

Question 7

Sensory neuron

Answer 7

Carry message between peripheral and CNS

Question 8

Relay neuron

Answer 8

Connects sensory and motor neuron to transmit info

Question 9

Motor neuron

Answer 9

Connects cns to effector such as muscle
