limbic system - ANSWERS set of brain structures involved in instinctive
responses
T - ANSWERS T or F: our cognitive system can override our instinctive
responses
ionotropic - ANSWERS type of receptor that is part of an ion channel
metabotropic - ANSWERS type of receptor that is separate from an ion
channel
second messenger - ANSWERS An AP triggers Ca+ to enter the cell which acts
as a [2 words] for NT release
enzymes, endocytosis - ANSWERS termination of NT effects is produced by
either - 2 Es
glutamate (excitatory), GABA (inhibitory) - ANSWERS 2 most common types of
NT in CNS
ACh (both) - ANSWERS most common type of NT in PNS
,ionotropic, metabotropic - ANSWERS 2 types of receptors
depolarizes, hyperpolarizes - ANSWERS at nicotine receptors, ACh
[depolarizes/hyperpolarizes] skeletal muscle while at muscarinic receptors, ACh
[depolarizes/hyperpolarizes] cardiac muscle
summation - ANSWERS graded potentials result from the [] of successive
synaptic potentials
both - ANSWERS ACh is NT that is [excitatory/inhibitory/both]
F (all-or-none) - ANSWERS T or F: AP are capable of summation
temporal, spatial - ANSWERS 2 types of summation of graded potentials
temporal - ANSWERS type of summation where 1 terminal is activated in rapid
succession
spatial - ANSWERS type of summation where many terminals are activated
simultaneously
enters, depolarizing, EPSP - ANSWERS if channel of postsynaptic receptor is
selective to Na+, Na+ [enters/leaves] cell, [depolarizing/hyperpolarizing it]
producing [EPSP/IPSP]
,leaves, hyperpolarizing, IPSP - ANSWERS if channel of postsynaptic receptor is
selective to K+, K+ [enters/leaves] cell, [depolarizing/hyperpolarizing it] producing
[EPSP/IPSP]
location, type, complexity - ANSWERS 3 ways to classify receptors
extero, viscero, proprio - ANSWERS 3 types of receptors based on location of
its stimulus (provide prefix only)
proprioceptors - ANSWERS type of receptor that provides info about body
posture
mechano, thermo, photo, chemo, noci - ANSWERS 5 types of receptors based
on the type of its stimulus (provide prefix only)
special sense organs - ANSWERS complex receptors detect stimuli to these
structures
frequency - ANSWERS Characteristic of a AP discharge that allows NS to
distinguish b/w a strong and weak stimulus
phasic - ANSWERS type of receptor that adapts most rapidly
tonic - ANSWERS type of receptor that adapts least rapidly
, pain (NS must be continually informed of it to ensure corrective action) -
ANSWERS adaption is smallest for this sensation
pacinian (detect vibrations caused by e.g. slipping of objects in hand) -
ANSWERS adaption is largest for these receptors
fungiform, circumvallate - ANSWERS 2 types of papillae
back - ANSWERS the circumvallate papillae are found on the [] of the tongue
supporting, gustatory, basal - ANSWERS 3 types of epithelial cells of papillae
(forming taste pore)
gustatory - ANSWERS this type of epithelial cell of papillae contains
chemoreceptors w/ microvilli that adapt to stimuli (aka eventually do not produce
AP)
7-10 - ANSWERS gustatory cells are renewed every [] days
salty, sweet, sour, bitter, unami (everywhere) - ANSWERS from the tip to the
back of the tongue, list the order of flavors it detects
glutamate - ANSWERS unami is triggered by this NT
Na+ - ANSWERS Mechanism of transduction:
