What else can I help you with?
Are neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential called excitatory?
No, neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential are called inhibitory neurotransmitters. Excitatory neurotransmitters have the opposite effect, causing depolarization and increasing the likelihood of an action potential.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
When are neurotransmitters released?
Neurotransmitters are released when an action potential reaches an axon terminal (aka: end foot, synaptic knob, bouton), causing voltage-gated calcium ion gates to open, allowing calcium ions into the axon terminal, which causes vesicles containing the neurotransmitters to fuse to the cell membrane, which creates an opening to release the neurotransmitters into the synapse.
Chemicals that cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on another neuron are called?
nuerotransmitter
Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?
No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.
What do neurotransmitters open?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
What neurotransmitters are amino acids?
define amino acids in neurotransmitters
Which structure in the body releases neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters.
What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
What releases neurotransmitters into the synapse?
Neurotransmitters are released into the synapse by the presynaptic neuron.
Are neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential called excitatory?
No, neurotransmitters that depress the resting potential are called inhibitory neurotransmitters. Excitatory neurotransmitters have the opposite effect, causing depolarization and increasing the likelihood of an action potential.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
What is the opposite of dopamine in terms of neurotransmitters?
The opposite of dopamine in terms of neurotransmitters is serotonin.
What are the benefits of choline?
Choline is a biological molecule that is known to serve a wide variety of purposes. Its major purpose, however, is as part of acetylcholine, one of the body's major neurotransmitters.
From where are neurotransmitters secreted?
Neurotransmitters are secreted from the axon terminals of neurons in the brain and nervous system.
What is it called when neurotransmitters are recycled?
The process of recycling neurotransmitters is known as reuptake. This is when neurotransmitters are taken back up into the presynaptic neuron after they have been released into the synaptic cleft.
What are neurotransmitters that affect a neuron's response to other neurotransmitters called?
These are typically known as neuromodulators; they can either change the rate at which a neurotransmitter is released, or alter the response to a certain neurotransmitters.
