Mock test for Anxiety Flashcards
2 Types of ion channels
- Voltage-gated channels
- Ligand-gated channels
2 types of neurotransmitter
Ionotropic receptors
Metabotropic receptors
EFFLUX OF K,
INFLUX OF CL-, CHANGE IN
CELLMEMBRANE POTENTIAL
HYPERPOLARIZATION
INFLUX OF NA AND CA–
CELL BECOMES POSITIVE
DEPOLARIZATION
EPSP stands for ?
Excitatory post-synaptic potential
IPSP stands for ?
Inhibitory postsynaptic potential
opens Na or Ca channels/ influx -> depolarization
(more positive) -> nerve impulse
Excitatory neurotransmitters
Excitatory neurotransmitters examples:
Norepinephrine, Dopamine, Acetylcholine,
Glutamate, Aspartate (NAGDA)
opens Cl channels -> hyperpolarization (more
negative) -> no nerve impulse
Inhibitory neurotransmitters
Inhibitory neurotransmitters examples:
glycine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Tetrodotoxin (TTX)
Slows inactivation, shifts activation of Na channels?
source: Colombian frog
Batrachotoxin (BTX)
blocks “small Ca-activated” K channel
source: Honeybee
Apamin

Source: Funnel web spider
Agatoxin (ω-AGA-IVA)
The irreversible antagonist of Nicotinic ACh
receptor (Ligand-gated)
Source: Marine snake
α-Bungarotoxin
Blocks channel in GABA a receptor?
Source: South Pacific plant
Picrotoxin
Competitive antagonist in Glycine receptor
Source: Indian plant
Strychnine
Blocks channel in AMPA receptor
Source: Wasp
Philanthotoxin
AMPA stand for ?
