Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell and ending with the impulse being sent down the postsynaptic cell.
Abnormal levels of __________ are linked to depression and eating disorders. A.dopamineB.acetylcholineC.serotoninD.endorphins
The __________ are the branches at the end of the axon. A.neural receptorsB.axon terminalsC.myelin sheathD.cell bodies
Identify the main components of the nervous system and explain its three main functions.
Abnormal levels of __________ are linked to anxiety and depression. A.glutamateB.endorphinsC.norepinephrineD.serotonin
A neural __________ or, chemical messenger, travels across the synapse and binds to a neural __________.
Explain how glia function within the nervous system.
Neurotransmitters bind to __________, which are protein structures on the surface of the neuron cell membrane. A.neural receptorsB.cell bodiesC.impulse docksD.axon terminals
According to new research, glia may be able to send and receive messages like neurons. They may also influence memory formation, play a role in how we perceive chronic pain, and perhaps even contribute to psychological disorders when communication breaks down between the glia and neurons. Knowing this, all of the following could be linked to glia except __________. According to new research, glia may be able to send and receive messages like neurons.
