Answer 3

Alarm reaction
Resistance
Exhaustion

Question 4

Dopamine effect and role

Answer 4

Dopamine- has exitatory and inhibatory factor effects on post synaptic, coordirnating volountary movment

Question 5

Seretonin effect and role

Answer 5

Seretonin- Has inhibitory effect, mood regulation

Question 6

Alarm Reaction[Shock and Counter Shock]

Answer 6

Involves body intial deacrease and then increase arousal
Shock- first exposed to stressor, para activated
Counter- symp activated, cortisol realesed

Question 7

Resistance stage

Answer 7

Body maintains high arousal to cope with stressor

Question 8

Exhaustion

Answer 8

occurs when energy levels are depleated, ability to cope with stressor drops below normal

Long- lasting experiance dependent weakining of synaptic connections between neurons that are not regualry coactivated

Question 21

LTP

Answer 21

Long Lasting and experiance dependent strengtheing of synaptic connections that are regualry coactivated

Question 22

Glutamate

Answer 22

Exititatory, increasease likelyhood of the post synaptic neuron firing an action potential

Question 23

GABA

Answer 23

Inhibitory, Deacreases likelyhood of post synaptic neuron firing an action potential

Question 24

Somatic nervous system[PNS]

Answer 24

transimits neural mesages realted to volountary movments
ROle- respond to stimuli and initate volountary movemnt

Question 25

Autonomic[PNS]

Answer 25

Regulates organs and glands, transmits neural messages

Question 26

spinal reflex

Answer 26

unconcious respinse to sensory stimuli that is initiated by interneurons in the spinal cord independent of brain

Question 27

synaptic transmission role

Answer 27

distinct molecular structure corresponds to certain receptor site. effect postsynpatic neuron for + and -

Question 28

Synaptic transmission diagram

Answer 28

Neural Impulse reaches axon terminal

Caues vessicles to realease neurotransmitters into synaptic gap

Cause neurotransmitters to bind to recpetor sites on dendrites post synaptic neuron

then neurotransmitter makes less or more to fire action potential
