Neuropharmacology Flashcards
1
Q
Neurons and glia
A
neurons and macroglia (oligodendricites/schwann cells and astrocytes) are from neural ectoderm. Microgliea are from bone marrow myeloid lineage-mesoderm
2
Q
Dendrites
A
Receive and integrate synaptic signals, do not contain voltage-gates sodium channels. Calcium instead
3
Q
Amino acid neurotransmitters
A
GABA (inotropic allows chloride into the cell) and glycine, inhibitory. Glutamate is stimulatory
4
Q
Biogenic amines neurotransmitters
A
Dopamine, Epinephrine, Histamine Serotnin
5
Q
Other neurotransmitters
A
Acetylcholine, adenosine, NOx
6
Q
Peptide neurotransmitters
A
Enkephalin, dynorphin, POMC, substance P and K
7
Q
Norepinephrine
A
Increases cellular activity in Beta, alpha1 and decreases with alpha2
