Terms in this set (300)



a brain area involved in language comprehension and Wernicke's area
expression; usually in the left temporal lobe
(understand speech)




controls language expression - an area, usually in the left Broca's area
frontal lobe, that directs the muscle movements involved
in speech.
(production of speech)




projections from the soma, receive synaptic inputs dendrites

Where is Na+ higher in: ECF or ICF? Na+ = ECF
Where is K+ higher in: ECF or ICF? K+ = ICF


_____________ leak channels create the RMP. Potassium


What is the resting membrane potential? -70 (threshold = -55)


Neurotransmitter Ionotropic Receptor are also known: ligand-gated ion channels (rapid membrane potential by ions moving down their
concentration gradient)


Excitation is produced by entry of ____ or ______. Inhibition Na + or Ca2+ (Excitatory transmitters)
is produced by entry of ______ Cl- (inhibitory transmitters)


Transmission by __________ ___________ is responsible for slow, metabotropic receptors (ex. amines and peptides)
modulatory actions governing biorhythms, mood,
sleep/wake state, hunger, thirst, behavioral changes.


________ signaling by ________ receptors is responsible for the rapid, ionotropic
majority of second-tosecond neuronal activity and
responsiveness- sensory, motor, reflex.

Glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric (GABA), and both
acetylcholine have ionotropic or metabotropic
receptors?


the main excitatory neurotransmitter, used for rapid glutamate (amino acid used to build proteins/transmitter of glutamatergic
sensory and motor control. Causes rapid depolarization neurons)
and action potential generation in postsynaptic neurons.
Found widely throughout the brain and spinal cord.


the main inhibitory neurotransmitter and is synthesized GABA
by glutamic acid decarboxylase that removes a carboxyl
group from glutamate


neuromuscular transmission, parasympathetic visceral acetylcholine
control, and central modulatory actions


motor, endocrine, and motivational control dopamine (DA)


sympathetic visceral control, central arousal, and stress norepinephrine (NE)
responses (noradrenergic)
