1.

How is information carried between neurons?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1.

Information is communicated between neurons through chemicals called neurotransmitters.
 


 
 
 
 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

2.

What are the synaptic vesicles?

Synaptic Vesicles: Containers in ends of axon terminals that contain neurotransmitters.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3.

What's usually on a dendrite, and receives neurotransmitters?

A receptor is an area that receives neurotransmitters. Usually on dendrites.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

4.

What is "resting potential?"
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

4.

Resting Potential is when a neuron isn't being  stimulated by other neurons' neurotransmitters
 


 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5.

When is a neuron at "Graded Potential?"
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5.
A neuron is at graded potential when it is stimulated by other neurons' neurotransmitters, but not stimulated enough to fire. 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

6.

When is a neuron at "Action Potential?"
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

6.

A neuron is at action potential when it is stimulated enough that it fires neurotransmitters at other neurons.
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

7.

What is reuptake?
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 

7. 

Reuptake is when a neurotransmitter is taken back into the axon terminal that released it. 
 


 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 

8.
What happens when reuptake is blocked?
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

8.

When reuptake is blocked, the neurotransmitter stays in the synapse and keeps stimulating the next neuron.
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

9.

What is one function that acetylcholine controls in the brain?
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

9.

In the brain, Acetylcholine helps control memory.

When you're being attacked by a tiger, what nervous system increases your heartbeat and breathing?
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 
 
 
 
 



 
 

10.

The sympathetic nervous system increases your heartbeat and breathing when you're being attacked.
