ADVANCED PATHOPHYSIOLOGY - NERVOUS SYSTEM
QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED AND 100%
ACCURATE ANSWERS
Primary excitatory transmitter of the brain Correct Answers Glutamate
Glutamate is mediated by what receptors Correct Answers inotropic and
metabotropic receptors
What Neurotrasmitter is responsible for excitotoxic neuron death
Correct Answers glutamate
In states of hypoxia or ischemia, can lead to ______ where cells "panic"
and die Correct Answers Excitotoxic Neuron Death
neurotransmitters found in forebrain Correct Answers glutamate &
acetylcholine
Drugs that block D2 receptors and decrease dopamine Correct Answers
antipsychotics
Norephinephrine neurons that control arousal and stress responses are
found where Correct Answers locus ceruleus
VT dopamine neurons are found where Correct Answers nucleus
accumbens
,dopamine in nigrostriatal pathway is involved in Correct Answers motor
control
absence of dopamine in nigrostriatal pathway is seen in what disease
Correct Answers parkinsons
dopamine in the VT area to the nucleus accumbens pathway is involved
in Correct Answers pleasure, reward, addiction
dopamine in the hypothalamic projection to the pituitary stalk inhibits
what secretion Correct Answers prolactin
what NT inhibits aggression Correct Answers serotonin
what NT is converted to melatonin in the pineal gland Correct Answers
serotonin
what receptor type mediates dopamine Correct Answers Metatropic
located in basal forebrain to control sleep/wake Correct Answers
glutamate and acetylcholine
primary inhibitory NT in brain Correct Answers GABA
GABA - a is what type of NT Correct Answers ionotropic
, Antiseizure medications will increase the production of _________ and
therfore counter glutamate with inhibition neurons Correct Answers
GABA-a (gaba-a is inhibitory to gaba so by increasing production, more
inhibition is provided so we decrease the excitatory function in seizures)
smooth muscle control is usually the result of what two NT's working
together Correct Answers dopamine and acetylcholine
too much acetylcholine with not enough dopamine can cause what
Correct Answers decreased motor function / parkinsons sx
epilepsy can be caused by mutations effecting what receptors Correct
Answers GABA-a (effectivness of gaba inhibition is disrupted so
excitablity causes seizures)
primary NT of parasympathetic nervous sytem Correct Answers
acetylcholine
what type of receptors are associated with acetylcholine Correct
Answers metetropic and ionotropic
what receptor type mediates norepinephrine Correct Answers
metatrophic
