Nervous system
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Charles bonnet hallucinations | spontaneous, random firing |
| Palinopsia | After images, trails after object |
| Psychotic hallucinations | Interactions with objects |
| Temporal lobe epilepsy | Hallucinations with smells, senses, etc |
| Primary visual cortex | Geometric hallucinations |
| Fusiform gyrus of temporal lobe | More complete images |
| Where do graded potentials occur | dendrites and somas |
| m1 | cns, exocrine glands, phospholipase C |
| m2 | inhibit heart activity, phosphoediesterase |
| m3 | constricts blood vessels/smooth muscle of lungs, stimulates, phospholipase C |
| serotonin | cns, regulates emotions |
| gamma aminobutyric acid | cns inhibitory neurotransmitter, reduces anxiety |
| nitric oxide | gasseous neurotransmitter, binds to receptors inside cells, sympathetic neuroeffector junctions (vasodilation) |
| substance P | transmits pain sensations |
| tetrodotoxin (puffer fish)/curare (poison dart frogs) | blocks voltage gated Na+ channels, no action potential |
| bungarotoxin (snakes) | acts as competitive antagonist (binds and blocks) Ach receptors |
| botulinium toxin (botox, cans) | prevents release of Ach |
| arsenic/lead | demyelinates, slow action potential |
| spider venom | increase neurotransmitter release |
| pesticides/nerve gas | inhibits AchE |
| analgestic | prevent pain |
| endogenous opiates | made by body (endorphins) |
| exogenous opiates | not made by body (cancer patients, poppy) |
| caffeine/theobromide/nicotine | lower threshold of voltage gated channels, depolarize axon hillock, stimulate receptors directly |
