neurotransmitters
microscopic fluid
filled space between axon terminal
synapse
three dimensional proteins
receptor sites
syanpse which neurotransmitters causes the receiving cell to fire
excitory synapse
syanpse which neurotransmitters causes the receiving cell to fire
excitory synapse
stop firing
inhibitory synapse
block or reduce cells
antagonists
mimic or engance the effects
agonists
taken back to synaptic vesicles
reuptake
can no longer act on a receptor
enzyme degradation
electrical current is sent
destroys brain
