Neurophysio Flashcards
Two types of Axonal transport
Orthograde and Retrograde
Cilliary dysfucntion
Dynein
Kartageners syndrome
Steady state of K in resting membrane potential
-70mv
Sudden/sharp change of membrane potential
Spike potential
2 types of refractory periods
Absolute and Relative
“supranormal period”
normal fall after spike potential
After Depolarization
“subnormal”
After hypolarization
Constant amplitude and form
All or non law
Synaptic transmission happens where?
Junction or Hillock
2 types of synaptic transmission
electric - gal junction, fast, bi directional
chemical - neurotransmitted, slow, receptor binding
Facilitation happens where?
synaptic knob
Major Excitatory neurotransmiter of the brain?
Glutamate
glutamate is synthesis/metabolism
Krebs cycle
presynatpic/glial
3 Glutamic receptors
NMDA
AMPA
KA
Mg regulated receptor of glutamate
NMDA
NMDA receptor is inhibited by?
Zinc
Too much of this NT kills nerve cells
Glutamate
NMDA receptor antagonist
Ketamine
Only drug used in ALS
Riluzole
NT abnormalities in Alzheimer’s disease
Increases glutamate
decreased Acth
receptor in Chick pea toxin(L BOA)
AMPA
enzyme required for conversion of GABA synthesis
glutamic acid decarboxylase GAD
Glutamic Acid decarboxylase requires -________ to function
pyridoxine/B6
GABA is ihibited by
tigabilin
vigabatin
Major inhibitory ionotrophic receptor
gives examples
GABA a
Benzodiazipines
Barbituates
GABA a is modulated by
Etoh(alcohol)
inhibitory spinal NT
Glycine
Toxin that blocks Na channels of the neuron
Tetradotoxin in pufferfish
toxin than Blocks K channels of the neuron
Tetraethyl ammonium in pufferfish
Toxin that blocks ACTH
botulinum
Toxin that blcks GABA and glycine
tetanospasmin
Red tide and algae algal booom
pfesteria
Only part of thenANS where Acth is not found
sympathetic post ganglionic
