Both THC and anandamide are examples of:

Which is the correct sequence of amine neurotransmitters?

Chemicals released by a neuron onto a target with an excitatory or inhibitory effect are called:

Voltage-gated calcium ion channels that function in neurotransmission are primarily found on the:

The notion that the nervous system communicates using chemical messages was first demonstrated by:

For an action potential to be elicited:

_____ is found in foods such as egg yolk,avocado,salmon,and olive oil.

Electron microscopy is a useful tool in the study of synaptic morphology.The resolution of an electron microscope is much greater than that of a light microscope because:

Increasing the number of synapses to account for learning involves _____,leading to the activation of _____,a second messenger.

_____ is a neurotransmitter that helps control arousal,walking,and the contraction of smooth muscle.It also contributes to asthma,a constriction of the airways.

Which of the following is NOT part of the amine subtype of small-molecule neurotransmitters?

_____ is the deactivation of a neurotransmitter by transporter proteins that bring the transmitter back into the presynaptic side for reuse.

Neurotransmitters are produced in the:

A second-messenger system can:

Precursor chemicals that form the building blocks for neurotransmitters are absorbed from the:

The structure of synapses is best viewed with a(n):

Compared with chemical synapses,electrical synapses:

_____ is the process of neurotransmitter deactivation whereby the neurotransmitter simply leaves the synaptic cleft.

Habituation is the result of:

_____ is the deactivation of a neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft by enzymes.
