PPT-18.4 Neurotransmitters A

neurotransmitter is a chemical compound that transmits an impulse from a nerve cell to a target cell Target cells may be another nerve cell a muscle cell or a gland cell Learning Goal Describe the role of amines as neurotransmitters. Lab# 1. From PNS to CNS. From CNS to PNS. Skeletal muscle . smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands. The main function is to connect CNS to the limbs and organs.. Consists : . A- nerves .

SLO: 1.6.6 – Describing impulse transmission at the synapse, including the function of several neurotransmitters and the role of cellular receptors in the action of neurotransmission. Synapse. Ms. . Carmelitano. Introduction. Neurons are the building blocks of behavior. The 10 to 100 billion neurons make about 13 trillion connections with each other over the synapses. Essential Question: How do messages cross the synapses?. Spinal cord. Transmits messages from the brain to the other areas of the body.. Efferent – away from the brain out to the body. Produces muscle action. Afferent – from the periphery to the brain. I.B. Learning Outcome. and Objective. B6- Using one or more examples, explain the effects of neurotransmission on human behavior.. I can identify the parts of a neuron. I can explain the how neurons communicate. Study Questions. 1.

At the moment of conception, a male child receives: ___ chromosomes from his mother and ____ from his father.. substances that are manufactured in the brain, . spinal cord, glands and other parts of the body that may act as neurotransmitters. . Excitatory effects & . Inhibitory . effects.  Excitatory neurotransmitters trigger a nerve impulses in the receiving cell (they speed up neuron communication) while inhibitory neurotransmitters act to prevent further transmission of an impulse.(they slow down neural communication) . sciences concerned in one way or another with behavior of humans and lower organisms . . and . encompasses all the discipline that explore the activities of the natural . world . .
