|
A chemical released at an axon tip that travels across the synapse and binds a specific receptor protein in the membrane on the far side
|
NEUROTRANSMITTERS
|
|
|
Neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction, the synapse that forms between a neuron and a muscle fiber. Forms an excitatory synapse with skeletal muscle but has the opposite effect on cardiac muscle, causing an inhibitory synapse
|
ACh (acetylcholine)
|
|
|
Neurotransmitter - very important for neural control of body movements and other brain functions. ex. Valium causes its sedative and other effects by enhancing the binding of it to its receptors
|
GABA: Inhibitory
|
|
|
Neurotransmitter - very important for neural control of body movements and other brain functions
|
GLYCINE
|
|
|
Along with epinephrine are involved in the Autonomic Nervous System
|
NOREPINEPHRINE
|
|
|
Involved in sleep regulation and other emotional states
|
SEROTONIN
|
|
|
Along with norepinephrine are involved in the Autonomic Nervous System
|
EPINEPHRINE
|
|
|
Some aid the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse; others inhibit the reabsorption of neurotransmitters so that they remain in the synapse; still others delay the breakdown of neurotransmitters after their reabsorption, leaving them the tip to be released back into the synapse when the next signal arrives
