.dendrite .or .other .cell .that .depolarizes .the .cell .membrane, .converting .chemical .to
.electrical; .this .is .driven .by .ACTION .POTENTIALS- .the .specific .channels .that .allow .+
.Sodium .ions .into .the .cell .(movement .depolarizes .the .cell .membrane .by .increasing
.membrane .potential .making .it .more .positive)
,where .do .action .potentials .take .place? .- .correct .answer. . . . .nodes .of .ranvier .(any .area
.covered .by .myelin .is .not .in .contact .with .extracellular .fluid .which .is .a .necessary
.component .for .action .potentials .to .take .place)

.biogenic .amines, .amino .acids, .neuropeptides
is .aceteylcholine .excitatory .or .inhibitory? .- .correct .answer. . . . .excitatory .in .skeletal .muscle;
.excitatory .or .inhibitory .elsewhere
examples .of .biogenic .amines .- .correct .answer. . . . .Norepinephrine .(excitatory .or .inhibitory),

.(inhibitory)
why .is .the .brain .a .critical .target .for .toxicants? .- .correct .answer. . . . .important .for
.maintaining .physiological .operations .of .the .body; .is .very .active .metabolically, .making .it
.highly .sensitive .to .toxicants .that .interfere .with .energy .metabolism
Describe .the .BBB's .structure .and .function .- .correct .answer. . . . .endothelial .cells
.surrounded .by .astrocytes .(provide .and .add .a .layer .of .protection .against .foreign
.molecules) .which .encapsulate .capillaries .in .the .brain .by .forming .tight .junctions .between
.cells, .preventing .diffusion .of .bloodborne .molecules .into .the .nervous .system- .BUT .cannot
.prevent .passive .diffusion
what .happens .if .the .BBB .is .compromised? .- .correct .answer. . . . .toxins .that .are .small, .highly
.lipid .soluble, .non .polar .(like .glucose .and .amino .acids) .can .take .advantage .of .these
.systems .of .passive .diffusion .and .be .moved .across .the .BBB .in .active .manner- .if .toxin .gets
.into .BBB .it .may .not .be .able .to .leave, .so .it .exerts .its .toxic .effects .there
What .types .of .molecules .can .easily .pass .through .the .BBB? .- .correct .answer. . . . .small,
.highly .lipid .soluble, .non-polar .molecules
in .terms .of .the .BBB, .what .does .the .toxin .pralidoxime .do? .- .correct .answer. . . . .is .an
.antidote .for .organophosphate .poisoning- .cannot .cross .the .BBB .and .therefore .is .effective
.in .the .peripheral .but .not .central .nervous .system
in .terms .of .the .BBB, .what .does .MPTP .do? .- .correct .answer. . . . .a .compound .that .is
.metabolized .in .the .brain .to .an .ionized .form
What .are .points .in .the .energy .requirements .diagram .where .interrupting .normal
.biochemical .pathways .might .result .in .disrupting .the .production .of .ATP? .- .correct .answer. .
, Especially .for .oxidative .phosphorylation .(aerobic) .exposure .to .any .toxicants .harmful .to
...
.aerobic .metabolism .or .to .conditions .that .induce .hypoxia .will .hit .the .nervous .system .hard

.answer. . . . .neurons .are .highly .dependent .on .aerobic .metabolism .to .meet .high .energy
.demands- .neuronal .activity .depends .on .the .ability .to .maintain .and .regulate .ion .gradients
.across .neuronal .membrane .or .to .create .action .potentials
involves .damage .to .the .neuronal .cell .body, .with .axonal .and .dendritic .degeneration .as .a

astrocyte .dysfunction .plays .a .role .in .________ .- .correct .answer. . . . .excitotoxicity
how .do .cells .die .when .there .is .a .neuronopathy? .- .correct .answer. . . . .toxicants .produce
