Observation, Replication, Interpretation, Verification, 

 

 

Term

Nissl Stain

Golgi Stain

Definition

Nissl - Stain nuclei

Golgi - stain neurons

Term
DNA -> RNA -> Proteins
Definition

DNA -> Transcription -> RNA to mRNA -> mRNA leaves nuclei -> Translation

 

Transcription - RNA polymerase binds to promotor, ends at termination 3'-5'

 

Translation - mRNA gets read by ribosomes

5'-3'

Term
Cytoskeleton
Definition

Microtubules - 20nm, longditudinal down neurites

Microfilaments - 5nm, made of actin, through neurites

Neurofilaments - 10nm, only in neurons, skeleton

 

Term
Axoplasmic Transport
Definition

Vesicles walk down axon

Kinesin - antergrade transport soma->terminal

Dyenein - retrograde transport terminal->soma

Term
Neurons
Definition

Stellate - star shaped

pyramidal - pryamid shaped

unipolar- 1 neurite

bipolar - 2 neurites

multipolar - multiple neurites

Term
Glial Cells
Definition

Astrocytes - Most numerous, fills space between neurons, influence growth and retraction, removes left over neurotransmitters, controls extracellular fluid contents

Myelinating -  oligodendrogal and schwan cells form myelin sheeth

 Ependymal - lining for fluid filled ventricles

Microglial - act as phagocytes

Term
Action Potential
Definition

Threshold - minimum requirment to cause AP, Voltage gated Na+ Channels Open

 

Rising phase - inward rush of Na+ rapid depolarization

 

Overshoot - Membran pot. go more positive

 

Falling Phase - Na+ gates close, K+ open, K+ rushes into cell

 

Undershoot - The rush of K+ causes mp to go more negative, the (-) causes K+ channels to close

 

Absolute Refractory Period - Both channels close no AP until -65mV

 

Relative Refractory Period - waiting for for K+ channels to close

Term

Orthodromic

Antidromic

Definition

Orthodromic - Ap travels down the Axon

Antidromic - Ap travels backward up the Axon

Term
Electrical Synapse
Definition
Occur in Gap Junctions, allows flow from 1 cell directly to another, bidirectional
Term
Chemical Synapse
Definition

Occur in synaptic clefts, 20 - 50nm wide,

Greys Type I - membrane postsynaptic is thicker than Presynaptic

 

Grays Type II - Membrane is same thickness

Term
G-Protein Receptors
Definition
Na+ bind to G-protein-receptor which relese G-protein, move about the membrane internally in the cell, active effector enzymes which create 2nd messangers,
Term
inhibition of cAMP formation
Definition
The subtype of glutamate metabotropic receptor that inhibits cAMP formation may
activate Gi. This is the mechanism used by the NE receptor subtype called a2, which inhibits
adenylyl cyclase and, consequently, inhibits cAMP formation.
