Neurotransmitters

Question 1

What is the NT criteria

Answer 1

The chemical must be produced within the neuron and must be found within it too.

When the neuron is stimulated, it must release the chemical.

When it’s released, it must bind to a post synaptic receptor and cause a biological effect.

Question 2

ACETOCHOLINE (ACH) receptors and E or I?

Answer 2

Nicotonic (ionotropic): excitatory (let positive ions in).

muscarinic: can both excitatory and inhibitory.

Question 3

DOPAMINE (2 receptor classes).and E or I?

Answer 3

D1-like: both

D2-like: both

Question 4

NE / EP 2 receptors class and E or I?

Answer 4

NE : Alpha 1+2 , INHIBITORY

EP: Alpha 1+2 and Beta 1+2 and INHIBITORY

Question 5

Indolamines and E or I?

Answer 5

many receptors and both

Question 6

Opioid 3 receptors classes

Answer 6

mew : lets out K+

delta : lets out K+ and CA2+

kappa: lets out CA2+

Question 7

Glutamate (3 iontropic) and many metabotropic

Answer 7

NMDA (ionotropic)

KAINATE (ionotropic)

AMPA(ionotropic)

theyre all excitatory. (they let in positive ions.).

Question 8

GABA

Answer 8

GABA A (ionotropic) (lets in CL-)

GABA B(metabotropic). (lets out K+)

theyre all inhibitory
