|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Radicals | show 🗑
|
||||
| GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A key NT from ANS involved with memory, as well as emotional state. Will seek out specific receptors to bind to. Also lowers heart rate.
🗑
|
||||
| show | One of the most important functions of this is to increase HR. Also controls the flight or fright response and plays a role in mood and behavior.
🗑
|
||||
| Serotonin | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Stimulates the adrenal glands to release the stress hormone corticosteroid (helps you run faster and get somewhere on time, etc.) and epinephrine. Often produced in response to biological stress.
Excess of it is a cause of Cushing’s syndrome.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Plays a role in mood and behavior. One of the operative chemical messengers in the brain's reward system. Key in addiction. Several important diseases of the nervous system are associated with dysfunctions of this, such as Parkinson's and Schizophrenia.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The major excitatory NT. Principle communication across the cortex and into SC or out to body. May increase addiction. Assoc w/ stroke, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), lathyrism, autism, some forms of mental delay, and Alzheimer's disease due to depletion.
🗑
|
||||
| MAO-B | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A precursor to the NTs dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), and epinephrine (adrenaline) collectively known as catecholamines. Basically replaces dopamine. Medication form tx Parkinson's.
🗑
|
||||
| Epinephrine (also known as Adrenaline or Adrenalin) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An inhibitory NT in the CNS, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina. When receptors are activated, chloride enters the neuron via ionotropic receptors, causing an Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential (IPSP).
🗑
|
||||
| Endorphins | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Acetylcholine (ACh), Norephinephrine, and Serotonin.
🗑
|
||||
| Excititory Neurotransmitters | show 🗑
|
||||
| Inhibitory Neurotransmitters | show 🗑
|
||||
| NTs that can be both excititory and inhibitory... | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | NTs that work to suppress pain. Two different types. Released by the brain and SC. Classified as Endorphins.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Produced by the adrenal glands and released into the blood during times of physical or emotional stress. More often measured with a urine test rather than with a blood test.
🗑
|
||||
| Histamine | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Adrenaline (Epinephrine). In anaphylactic shock, it is essential that you are injected with adrenaline immediately to counteract the dangerously high histamine level and prevent death.
🗑
|
||||
| Can "antihistamines" (like Benadryl) eliminate histamine in a person? | show 🗑
|
||||
| What are the categories of NTs? | show 🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
