Synapse across neurons
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This is a space between the axon terminal of neuron A (presynaptic neuron) that does not physically touch the dendrite of neuron B (postsynaptic neuron). What is this space called? | Synaptic cleft |
| The dendrite of neuron B contains WHAT sites? | Receptor |
| Receptor sites are places on the membrane to which the WHAT bind? | Neurotransmitters. |
| The axon terminal of neuron A contains thousands of tiny WHAT that store chemical substances called neurotransmitters. | Vesicles |
| ACh and norepinephrine and the most common WHAT? | Neurotransmitters |
| Other CNS transmitters include epinephrine, serotonin, glutamate, dopamine, gamma, GABA, and endorphins. T or F | True |
| These are substances that terminate the activity of the neurotransmitters when they have completed their task. They are called WHAT? | Inactivators |
