Role of Neroutransmitters

Question 1

Dentries

Answer 1

receives incoming neural messages

Question 2

SOMA

Answer 2

The body of the neuron, contains the nucleus with genetic material for the neuron

Question 3

axon

Answer 3

the pathway in which neural messages travel

Question 4

Meylin Sheft

Answer 4

fatty tissues that encases the axon to aid the speed of transmission

Question 5

Axon terminal

Answer 5

exit pathways for neural messages to make their way to the next neuron

Question 6

terminal buttons

Answer 6

releases a chemical substance known as neurtransmitter to a racing neuron to communicate purposes, also referred to as synaptic knobs.

Question 7

Pre-synaptic neuron

Answer 7

occurs before the synapse

Question 8

postsynaptic neuron

Answer 8

after the synapse

Question 9

Excitatory

Answer 9

INCREASING the likehood that the neruon will fire action potential

e.g glutamate

Question 10

Inhibatory

Answer 10

DECREASING the likehood that the neuron will release action potential.

e.g Gamma amino Butric acid

Question 11

Neurotransmitter

Answer 11

the chemical substance release by the terminal buttons of a neuron, necessary for neural communications

-When it is released, it finds the receptor on the postsynaptic neuron

-Each neurotransmitter binds with its specfirc type of receptor

Question 12

Neurotransmission

Answer 12

the process of communication using electriochemical energy.

• Once it starts it continues and goes in only 1 direction

Question 13

Glutamate

Answer 13

excitatory neurotransmitter that is involved in memory and learning

Question 14

Gamma amino Butric acid

Answer 14

An inhibatory neurtransmitter asscoaited with calming of feelings, anxiety and stress
