Q

Inhibition

A

Is the process of passing a current down that is less cell voltage than at the testing membrane

Q

What does the cell have to do when both positive and negative Nuevo transmitters reach the receptor

A

It has to decide what to do with the i for and decide what to do. It must send many action potentials

Q

Threshold

A

This is a value that will allow the cell to continue passing the action potential down the axon

Q

How does the cell make the wave of an toon potential continue fmdown the neuron

A

The booster station make it so the cell voltage must reach the same amount so it’s continually passed down

Q

Nodes

A

Small breaks between myelinated axon. Nodes contain voltage gated sodium channels that allow sodium to come in a make action potential boosted

Q

Where is Myelin made

A

It is made of the phospholipid membranes of certain glial cells. Wrapped around the axon like rubber aroun an electrical wire

Q

What type of axons do pain carrying neurons have.

A

Very wide allows for lest resistance I. The axon for the sodium current

Narrow Avon’s are the slowest

Q

So pain pathways have thin or thick myelinated pathways

A

Thick and myelinated as possible to make transmission fastes

16
Q

Unmiliinated nuerons exist where

A

In gastric track. We break down food at a constant rate so these neurons axons don’t have to be thick or mylyleniated

17
Q

Where do volatile fatter sodium channels occur

A

At the nodes and trigger zone

18
Q

Ligand is another word for

A

Neurotransmitter

19
Q

Direct neurotransmitter action

A

The same place that the Nt binds is the same place the ions flows through

These are very fast acting

For example skeletal muscle

20
Q

Indirect neurotransmitter channel

A

Not the same channel opens where the neurotransmitter binds. It takes time for the channel that’s away to open. Some neurotransmitters can activate enzymes or turn of nueclous coding genes

These are slow acting

For eaxamole the heart beats slowly to slow down heart rate to fill and squeeze blood out and smooth muscle in intestine

21
Q

There are over how many nt in the body

A

200

22
Q

What are the five groups of my

A
Acetylcholine. 
Biogenic
Amino acids 
Peptides 
Purines
23
Q

Acetylcholine

A

Can be both excititoray or inhintaroy

Binds to al three muscles. Skeletal smooth and cardiac

When in skeletal opens sodium so fast acting

When in heart muscle it open up channels indirectly for potassium to leave inhibitory

When I’m smooth muscle it opens up calcium indirectly so slow acting

24
Q

Agonist

A

Helps or enhance the action of the NT More excitement in the body or less excitement

25
Q

Antagonist

A

Stop NT from doing their job

Botox is example because it prevent acetylcholine from doing its jobs of contracting skeletal muscle.
