REVIEW WITH COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
VERIFIED ANSWERS GRADED A PLUS 2026
• Acetylcholine(ach) . Answer: Released by motor neurons controlling
skeletal muscles. Contributed to the regulation of muscle action,
attention, learning, memory and arousal. Dome ACH receptors are
stimulated bu nicotine.
• Dopamine(DA) . Answer: Contributes to the control of voluntary
movement. Influences learning, attention and emotion. Cocaine and
amphetamines elevate activity at DA synapses. Dopamine circuits in
medial for forebrain bundle characterized as reward pathway.
• Norepinephrine (NE) . Answer: Contributed to modulation of alertness
and arousal(vigilance) as well as eating behavior. Cocaine and
amphetamines elevate activity at NE synapses l.
• Serotonin . Answer: Involved in the regulation of mood, sleep, hunger
and arousal. Prozac and similar antidepressant drugs affect serotonin
circuits
• Gamma-Amino
Butyric acid . Answer: Serves as a widely distributed inhibitory
neurotransmitter, contributing to regulation of anxiety drugs work at
GABA synapses
, • Glutamate(Glu) . Answer: Serves as a widely distributed excitatory
neurotransmitter.
Involved in learning and memory
• Endorphins . Answer: Resemble opiate drugs in structure and effects.
Play role in pain relief and response to stress. Contribute to regulation of
eating behavior.
• Terminal button . Answer: Small knobs that secrets chemical called
neurotransmitters (chemical messenger)
• Myelin sheath . Answer: Fatty substance produced by certain glial
cells: encases axon help insulate and speed the neutral impulse
• Node of ranvier . Answer: Acid in Greek. Tube like structure that
carries the neutral message away from the soma and to the other: cells
on (neurons)
• Soma . Answer: Body in Greek cell body, contain nucleus
• Nucleus . Answer: Nut in Latin. Consists of DNA which contains the
cell history the basic information to manufacture all the protein
characteristics of the cell
