🗑
Ribosomes   imporant organelle for protein systhesis  
🗑
Lysosomes   enzymes that participate in recycling waste in the cell  
🗑
Golgi Apparatus   produces lysosomes, packages protein molecules for transport  
🗑
Nucleus   contains DNA and includes the nucleolus that houses RNA  
🗑
Dendrites   afferent, receptive. transmit info to cell body from other cells  
🗑
Axons   efferent structures that transmit information away from the cell body to other neurons  
🗑
Axon Hillock   cone shaped region where the azon originates  
🗑
Axon terminals   contain different nerotransmiter which are released  
🗑
myelin   multilayered lipid material, insulates and protects the nerve fiber, increases the speed of the action potential  
🗑
Saltatory conduction   message jumps from one node to next over the Node of Ranvier  
🗑
Multiple Sclerosis   degeration of the myelin affecting the rate of nerve impulse transmission  
🗑
Presynatic Terminal   contains packets of NTs that mediate communication between celss  
🗑
Synaptic Cleft   the space between the presynaptic terminal and postsynaptic cell  
🗑
Postsynaptic cell   Contains receptor proteins for the neurotransmitter molecules  
🗑
Nucleus   mass of neurons, usually deep in the brain  
🗑
tract   CNS term for a bundle of axons with a common point of origin and termination  
🗑
Fasciculus   CNS term for a bundle of tracts  
🗑
Ganglion   PNS term for a collection of neurons  
🗑
Nerve   PNS term for a bunlde of axons with a common point of origin and termination  
🗑
Resting state   the neuron is inaxtive and polarized, more negative inside teh cell/ more positive outside  
🗑
Rising phase/ Depolarization   ion channels open and Na+ rushes in, causing the cell to become more positive  
🗑
Falling Phase/ Repolarization   K+ rushes out of the cell, beginning to restore balance  
🗑
Undershoot/ Hyperpolarization   slightly more K+ on the outside than inside, making the cell more negatively charged and less excitable  
🗑
Sodium-Potassium Pump   to prevent equilibrium, Na+ is actively pumped out of the cell and K+ is pumped in  
🗑
IPSP   Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential. Decreases the chance that an AP will occur  
🗑
EPSP   Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential. Increases thechance that an AP will occur  
🗑
Absolute Refractory Period   Period of time where an action potential has just fired and the cell cannot produce another one yet  
🗑
Relative Refractory Period   follows the absolute refreactory period where the cell's ability to fire is suppressed but could if there is an extra strong stimulus  
🗑
Steps to synaptic transmission   depolarization of terminal bouton (open Ca+ channels), influx of Ca+ signals synaptic vesicles to release NT into cleft, NT binds to receptor sites, astrocytes facilitat NT re-uptake via endocytosis  
🗑
Acetylcholine   Primary excitatory NT for PNS, controls voluntary muscle movements and some involuntary  
🗑
Dopamine   modylates limbic and prefrontal functions, regulates basal ganlia motor functions  
🗑
Myasthenia gravis   condition in which impulse transmission is impaired due to a loss of acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction  
🗑
Alzheimer's Disease   characterized by deficient production of acetylcholine, memory loss, personality change and dementia  
🗑
