Psychopharmacology Quiz 1
What is the percentage of clients on meds or will be on meds? - answers95% of patients
2 views in psychiatry: - answersNearly every disorder in the DSM responds to medication Psychotherapy changes the brain and is therefore biological
Failure to suggest a medication review to your patient when you view it would be helpful
is an ethical violation.
Messages inside the cell are ______ and message outside the cell are ______ - answersChemical (neurotransmitter) messages outside the cell
Electrical inside the cell
Dendrites function: - answerspick up chemical messages from other neurons
Where is neurotransmitters produced? - answersNeurotransmitter is produced inside the nucleus
Neurotransmitters leave through ________ - answersthe terminal button
Myelin Sheath function: - answersinsulates the charge to keep the charge inside the neuron
The myelin shealth in the CNS is called _____ - answersAleogodentacites
The myelin shealth in the PNS is called _____ - answersSchwann cells Action potentials occur when _______ - answersthey hit the threshold
Reuptake pump function: - answerssucks some chemicals back in and that stops the reaction
Autoreceptor function: - answersreads the amount of neurotransmitters and reports back to the cell to produce less or more of the neurotransmitters
Medications can stimulate the autoreceport or block it, if you block it it works as an agonist and causes the neuron to produce more. Stimulating the autoreceptors makes it assume the checial is there and will slow production - answers
Exocytosis is when ______ - answersCalcium infuses into the cell and releases the neurotransmitters
Agonist VS Antagonist - answersAgonist facilitates more action potentials/ postsynaptic effect, Antagonist creates less action potentials/ block these effects
Key Neurotransmitters: - answersSerotonin Acetylcholine
Dopamine
Norepinephrine
Serotonin: - answers(5HT), triptafram, gets it from food (CNS) Mood, anxiety, aggression, sleep, appetite
OCD = not enough serotonin
Norepinephrine: - answers(NE), from food, timeamean, breaks down first into Dopamine
and then into NE Motivation and interest, wakefulness and alterness
Dopamine: - answers(D) Learning, memory, concentration, behavioral regulation
Acetlcholine: - answers(ACh), movement, memory learning behavioral arousal, attention
and mood
Amino Acids and Neuromodulators: - answersInhibitory:
Gabba Aminobutyric Acid or GABA
Glycine
Excitatory:
Glutamate
Aspartate (Psychitophrenia)
