Other Neurotransmitters (maybe exam 1 not as in depth ) Flashcards
1
Q
Two neuromodulators
A
cannabinoids and adenosine
2
Q
metabotropic, inhibitory
endogenous transmitters: 2-AG and anandamide
retrograde messengers
NOT stored in vesicles
A
cannabinoids
3
Q
cannabinoid receptors
A
CB1: in nervous system
CB2: in immune cells
4
Q
metabotropic
caffeine = antagonist
A
adenosine
5
Q
adenosine receptors
A
A1, A2, A3
6
Q
which adenosine receptors are excitatory
A
A2
7
Q
which adenosine receptors are inhibitory
A
A1 and A3
8
Q
3 peptides that act as neurotransmitters
A
opioid peptides,
peptides in gut, spinal cord, or brain
pituitary hormones
9
Q
example of a gas neurotransmitter that is produced in places other than the axon
A
nitric oxide
10
Q
NOT in vesicles
does not interact with membrane bound receptors, it diffuses in and out of cells
can act as retrograde neurotransmitter
A
Nitric oxide
