You hit the gym, releasing dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin in your brain. What are these three things? Explain how these three things are transmitted and retained in the brain, and how these three things impact our body (Hint: a good answer should include the terms neuron, dendrite, axon, action potential, and synapse)

Why do we call the nervous system a "signal system?" Can you compare it to anything else?
If all the Ca2+ in the fluid surrounding a neuron were removed, how would this affect the transmission of information within and between neurons?
What is maladaptive neuroplasticity? a. Neuroplasticity that affect the autonomic nervous system b. Neuroplasticity that has adverse effects c. Neuroplasticity that only last a short time d. Neuroplasticity that is dormant and cannot be activated
Why are ganglia and nerves not surrounded byprotective structures like the meninges of the CNS?
When light strikes our rods and cones, their sodium and calcium channels close and they release less glutamate. This causes the _____ cells in our retinas to release more neurotransmitters, which increases the firing rate of action potentials in the _____ cells. A) bipolar; ganglion B) complex; amacrine C) amacrine; complex
After a receptor cell is stimulated, the bipolar cell receiving input from it shows an immediate strong response. A fraction of a second later, the bipolar’s response decreases, even though the stimulation from the receptor cell remains constant. How can you account for that decrease? (Hint: What does the horizontal cell do?)
Select all of the statements from the list below that are true. Within a single axon, an action potential is always of the same magnitude. (In other words, it always looks the same on a trace of the membrane potential.) All excitatory post-synaptic potentials trigger an action potential. Graded potentials are always hyperpolarizing. The action potential always moves in one direction along an axon. Integration of sensory information is a major function of the central nervous system. All axons in the body are myelinated.
When the action potential begins, Na+ gates open, allowing Na+ to cross the membrane. The charge difference across the axon membrane changes to a.negative outside and positive inside. b.positive outside and negative inside. c.neutral outside and positive inside. d.There is no difference in charge between outside and inside.
Alcohol addiction is a condition in which a person experiencesdependent on alcohol and difficult to control its consumption. On the other hand, excessive alcohol consumption in the long term can cause disturbances in brain performance, including disturbances in memory, attention, coordination, and locomotion. How does alcohol affect the functioning of nerve cells and the central nervous system? What is the mechanism that occurs? Based on information from the literature, analyze what will happen to coordination and locomotion in someone who is addicted to alcohol and consumes large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time.
Taylor accidentally dips his fingers into a cup filled with steaming hot coffee. He immediately withdraws his hand and then exclaims “ouch!”What is the correct order of the nervous system structures involved in the scenario described above? Select one: a. sensory neuron, effector, motor neuron, interneuron b. motor neuron, receptor, sensory neuron, effector c. receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron d. sensory neuron, interneuron, effector, motor neuron
Why are many drugs that are used to treat nervous system diseases or to affect brain function targeted to specific receptors rather than particular neurotransmitters?
