|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | Structurally unbalanced chemicals capable of destroying other compounds that form the internal structure of neurons, which causes internal structural meltdown and leads to nerve cell death. Increased calcium = increased free radicals.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The body's major inhibitory NT.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Norepinephrine | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | 90% is thought to be a contributor to feelings of well-being and happiness. The remainder has various functions. These include the regulation of mood, appetite, sleep and cognitive functions, including memory and learning.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Dopamine | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A hormone and a NT that has many functions in the body: regulating heart rate, blood vessel and air passage diameters, and metabolic shifts. Also release is a crucial component of the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system.
🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | ACh (cardiac-), ATP (as a NT), Catecholamines, Glutamate, Histamine, Neuropeptides.
🗑
|
||||
| Inhibitory Neurotransmitters | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Nor/Epinephrine.
🗑
|
||||
| Enkephalins | show 🗑
|
||||
| Catecholamines | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The NT your body produces when you're having an allergic reaction, making your skin red and itchy. In extreme cases, levels of this can be elevated so high by rxn, it causes anaphylactic shock (where organs essentially shut down) and possibly death.
🗑
|
||||
| What is the only chemical that can quickly eliminate histamine in a person? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | No. They block some of your body's histamine receptors (relieving some symptoms). They do not remove histamine.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A= Acetylcholine, N= Neuropeptides (Neurotransmitter Transporters), O= Opioids, S= Serotonin.
🗑

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.
