-
Chemicals released by a neuron that will have an effect on a 2nd cell or neuron are called:
neurotransmitters
-
A chemical released by a neuron that effects how a postsynaptic cell or neuron will respond to a neurotransmitter is a:
neuromodulator
-
List the six neurotransmitters discussed in class.
- Norepinephrine
- Aceytlcholine
- Dopamine
- Seratonin
- Substance P
- Opiods
-
Which neurotransmitter is an adregenic synapse and has an excitatory effect on the target tissue?
norepinephrine
-
Which neurotransmitter is excitatory to the brain and inhibitory to the muscles?
dopamine
-
Which neurotransmitter is a cholinergic synapse and is inhibitory for most tissue except for muscle?
aceytlcholine
-
Inadequate concentrations of this neurotransmitter are linked to depression.
serotonin
-
Substance P plays a role in _______ pathways.
pain
-
True or False: The more substance P you have in your body, the more pain you feel.
True
-
This neurotransmitter can act as an endogenous morphine by blocking the release of substance P.
opiods
-
List the four subclasses of opiods discussed in class.
- endorphins
- enkephalins
- endomorphins
- dynorphin
-
List the three major subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system.

The synapse point where the preganglionic neuron meets the post ganglionic neuron is known as an:
autonomic ganglion
-
Where will the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers originate?
- brainstem - cranial nerves 3,7,9,10

short
-
The parasympathetic division is also known as the:
feed and breed, or resting division
