Term
Cranial nerves
Definition
12 pairs that control sensation, movement, and autonomic control above the neck.
Term
Cranial nerve I
Definition
Olfactory=smell
Term
Cranial Nerve II
Definition
Optic
Term
Cranial Nerve III
Definition
Oculomoto=Eye movement
Term
Cranial Nerve V
Definition
Trigeminal (Sensory Face)
Term
Cranial Nerve VII
Definition
Facial control (Facial expressions
Term
Cranial Nerve VIII
Definition
Auditory and Vestibule= (hearing and sense of balance)
Term
Cranial Nerve X
Definition
Vagus (heart rate, breathing, organ sensation)
Term
Spinal Nerves
Definition
31 pairs= sensation, movement, autonomic control below the neck (except Vagus, nerve X)
Term
Mixed nerves
Definition
Carry motor information (from ventral horn of spinal cord) to muscles
Term
Mixed nerves also
Definition
carry sensory information from skin and Proprioceptors (To dorsal horn) as well as automatic paths
Term
Sympathetic branch
Definition
Uses energy to enable the organism in flight or fight situations
Term
Parasympathetic branch
Definition
Stores energy, active during periods of relative calm.
Term
Psychopharmacology
Definition
the study of the effects of drugs on the nervous system and behavior
Term
Nerurotransmitters
Definition
send chemical messages across the synapes
Term
Amino acids are a
Definition
naturally made neruotransmitter
Term
Ionotropic
Definition
Neurotransmitter with immediate effects on the post-synaptic neurons.
Term
Metabotropic
Definition
Neurotransmitter with long-term effects on post-synaptic neurons. they can alter sensitivity of neurons for future interactions
Term
Release of Transmitter Substance
Definition
Usually happens in synaptic vesicles with in axon terminals.
Term
The action potential causes what
Definition
The entrance of CA++ and the formation of a fusion pore
Term
After action potential has happened
Definition
The transmitter binds with post synaptic receptor and opens chemically gated ionic channel in post synaptic neuron.
Term
Effect of Transmitters on Post-synaptic membrane 1
Definition
Direct- immeditaley alters post syanptic receptors resulting in either EPSEP or IPSP dependent on which channel is opened
Term
NA+ =
Definition
EPSP
Term
K+ =
Definition
IPSP
Term
Effect of Transmitters on Post-synaptic membrane 2
Definition
Does not immediately open a post synaptic channel. Through a series of steps the second messenger may alter the sensitivity of other channels or may even alter expression of DNA
Term
Three types of removals of transmitter from synaps
Definition
simple diffusion, enzyme degregation, re-up take by pre synaptic terminal
Term
Types of Neurotransmitters
Definition
Neromodulators, hormones, gases
Term
Anatomical distribution
Definition
neurotransmitters differ in terms of where they are localized in the nervous system.
Term
Receptor
Definition
The Excitatory and Inhibitory aspects of a transmitters effects are dependent upon the ____
