Q

What happens during synapse ?

A
  1. Synapse occurs and triggers the vesicles in the terminal button to open
  2. neurotransmitters are released in to the area called Synaptic cleft

  4. sleep
  5. leads to depression
20
Q

Dopamine ?

A

  2. motor control / brain reward system
  3. could lead to Parkinson’s
21
Q

Epinephrine ?

A
  1. Neurotransmitter
  2. Excites
  3. fight / flight
  4. could lead to anxiety
22
Q

Norepinephrine ?

  3. attention , alertness , mood
23
Q

Serotonin ?

A
  1. Neurotransmitter
  2. excites / inhabits
  3. sleep
    4 . could lead to mood disorders
24
Q

What are the 2 phases of communication for Neurons ?

A
  1. Electrical

2. chemical

25
Q

What is in the the electrical phase ?

A
  1. dendrites

2. axons

26
Q

What is in the the chemical phase ?

A
  1. neurotransmitters

3. synaptic cleft

27
Q

What are the 3 steps for neural function ( firing the gun) ?

A
  1. polarization
  2. Chemical transmission / Action potential ( depolarization )
  3. Repolazaion
28
Q

Polarization ?

A
  1. first step
  2. Resting membrane potential
  3. no transmitting is happening
  4. Neuron is negative - 70
    • sodium on the outside
    • potassium on the inside
29
Q

Chemical Transmission ?

A
  1. second step
  2. neuron is ready to fire — synapse occurs
  3. neurotransmitter released and attached to gila cell
30
Q

Depolarization ?

A
  1. second step
  2. protein channels open and sodium from the outside comes in cell triggering neuron to fire making the cell positive
  3. passive transportation
31
Q

Repolazaion ?

A
  1. third step

2. making it go back to negative charge by opening up protein Chanels for K to go out using active transport

32
Q

What are two pain synapse pathologies ?

A
  1. Multiple Sclerosis

2. Myasthenia gravis

33
Q

Multiple Sclerosis ?

A
  1. Myelin in the CNS around the axon is damaged

2. Oligodendrocytes impacted

34
Q

Myasthenia gravis ?

A
  1. Muscle weekness / fatigue

2. Acetylcholine receptors blocked by the bodies antibodies
