Exam 1 review NU 670 questions with ANSWERS
amino acids - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔building blocks of proteins
Glucose - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔the form of sugar that circulates in the blood
and provides the major source of energy for body tissues. When its level is low, we feel
hunger.
Glycogen - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔An extensively branched glucose storage
polysaccharide found in the liver and muscle of animals; the animal equivalent of starch.
aphasia - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔impairment of language, usually caused by left
hemisphere damage either to Broca's area (impairing speaking) or to Wernicke's area
(impairing understanding).
EEG - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔An amplified recording of the waves of electrical
activity that sweep across the brain's surface. These waves are measured by electrodes placed
on the scalp.
Supporting cells of the nervous system - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔neuroglial cells,
Acetylcholine - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔A neurotransmitter that enables learning
and memory and also triggers muscle contraction,
Oligodendrocytes - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔Type of glial cell in the CNS that wrap
axons in a myelin sheath.
Norepinephrine - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔A neurotransmitter involved in arousal,
as well as in learning and mood regulation, helps control alertness and arousal
, Serotonin - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔A neurotransmitter that affects hunger,sleep,
arousal, and mood.
Histamine - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔a compound that is released by cells in
response to injury and in allergic and inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of
smooth muscle and dilation of capillaries.
Psychoneuroimmunology - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔the study of how
psychological, neural, and endocrine processes together affect the immune system and
resulting health
GABA - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔An inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.
B-adrenergic receptor blockers - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔- block b-adrenergic
receptors
- management of angina; control of tremors; migraine prevention; anti arrhythmic effects;
lowering blood pressure; reduction of heart rate
- reduce responses caused by the activation of the sympathetic nervous system,
- thereby inhibiting cardiac work and oxygen demand.
- found in heart, blood vessels and lungs where they interact with the hormone adrenaline
(epinephrine) and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine
Dopamine - ....🔰VERIFIED ANSWERS.... ✔✔A neurotransmitter associated with
movement, attention and learning and the brain's pleasure and reward system.
