Quiz: classic synaptic neurotransmission
Ans: stimulation of a presynaptic neuron (e.g., by neurotransmitters, light, drugs,
hormones, nerve impulses) causes electrical impulses to be sent to its axon terminal.
These electrical impulses are then converted into chemical messengers and released to
stimulate the receptors of a postsynaptic neuron.
Quiz: The synaptic cleft
Ans: is the gap between the presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic neuron; it contains
proteins and scaffolding and molecular forms of "synaptic glue" to reinforce the
connection between the neurons. Receptors are present on both sides of this cleft and are
key elements of chemical neurotransmission.
Quiz: the soma
Ans: is the command center of the nerve and contains the nucleus of the cell
Quiz: axon
Ans: Neurons send information via an ____ that forms presynaptic terminals as the ____
passes by (en passant) or as the ____ ends
Quiz: axodendritic

, Ans: synaptic connections between the axon and dendrites of two neurons
Quiz: axosomatic
Ans: synaptic connections between the axon and the soma
Quiz: axoaxonic
Ans: synaptic connections between axons of the two neurons
Quiz: The chemical basis of neurotransmission
Ans: is how chemical signals are coded, decoded, transduced, and sent along the way.
Quiz: The anatomical basis of neurotransmission
Ans: is neurons and the connections between them, called synapses, sometimes also
called the anatomically addressed nervous system, a complex of "hard-wired" synaptic
connections between neurons, not unlike millions of telephone wires within thousands
upon thousands of cables
Quiz: The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system
Ans: mediates how the body metabolizes many drugs, including antipsychotics.
Quiz: The CYP enzyme
Ans: in the gut wall or liver converts the drug into a biotransformed product in the
bloodstream. After passing through the gut wall and liver, the drug will exist partly as
unchanged drug and partly as biotransformed drug.
