Question	Answer
Amines	class of neurotransmitters derived from Amino Acids
Catecholemines	subgroup of amine neurotransmitters - dopamine, norepi, epi
dopamine	subgroup of catecholeamine, effects CNS
dopamine made in...	midbrain - substancia niagra
Norepi	subclass of catecholemines - effect CNS & PNS
MAO/COMT	enzymes that degrade catecholemines
epi	made in adrenal medulla
seratonin	subgroup of amine NT's, found in CNS, regulates sleep, effects emotions
histamine	(blank)
Cholenergic Muric Neuron	Produces ACH
ACHE	degrades ACH - Enzyme
Brokendown ACH	choline & acetate
recycled B vitamins	choline
nicatinic receptor	excitatory
muscarinic receptor	inhibitory
ACH can bind to...	nicatinic & muscarinic receptors
chatecholemines	dopamine, epinephrine & norepinephrine
sodium ions crossing the membrane	excitatory - epsp
chloride channels open	inhibitory - ipsp
hyperpolarize	making the cell more negative - less potential for a nerve impulse
calcium diffuses into	endbulbs of neurons
exocitosis	pumping out neurotransmitters
convergence	several presynaptic endbulbs w/ one post synaptic endbulb
reuptake	pulling back into endbulb to recycle
synaptic cleft	space btw two synapses (pre/post)
axosomatic	axon conected to the cell body
axodendritic	axon connected to the dendrite
axoaxonic	axon connected to another axon
gap junctions	electrical synapses that connect cells. One impulse travels to every cell. (ie the heart)
