The NEUROMODULATORS CAN BE RELEASED ONLY BY GLIAL CELLS LIKE ASTROCYTES: T OR F?
False, it can be released by neurons,too
33
The NT pre$postsynaptic response is slow while the NM pre-postynaptic is rapid: T or F?
False NT:rapid because of short distance NM:slow because it can be produced by glial cells which may take long or short term fo the effects.
34
``` Which of the following chemical messengers is responsible of facilitating the the action potential and sending the information which can increase or decrease the number of NT ? NT NM NTROPHINS NH ```
NM
35
A chemical messenger it’s action is more diffuse is NT | T or F?
False because the diffuse action is present in the properties of NM
36
Neuropeptides and nitric oxide are examples of which chemical messengers?
NM
37
Neurotrophins mainly released by glial cells | T or F?
True
38
``` Which of the chemical messengers affect the growth and survival and having the BDNF: NT NM NTROPHINS NH ```
Neurotrophins
39
Neurotrophins act on which one of these: 1/ligand-gated channel 2/G-protein coupled receptor 3/Tyrosine kinase linked receptor
3/ Tyrosine kinase linked receptor While the glutamate,5-hydroxytryptamine and acetylcholine all act at both 1and2 and both NT and NM
40
The. Euro hormones secreted hormones in blood stream only: | T or F?
False into the bloodstream, the cerebrospinal fluid, or the intercellular spaces of the nervous system.
41
These are regulated by which chemical messenger !gene expression and control neuronal growth and phenotypic characteristics??
Neurotrophins
42
What are the three receptors of glutamate (ionotropic):?
1/NMDA 2/AMPA 3/KAINATE
43
The activation of NMDA receptor of glutamate needs only glutamate to be opened: True or False?
False it needs both GLUTAMATE AND GLYCINE
44
The NMDA receptor of glutamate is blocked by MAGNESIUM at depolarized current: T or F?
False the blockade is disappear during depolarization and appear at normal polarized physiologically
45
The NMDA when getting blocked by MAGNESIUM it shows ?
Voltage dependence
46
Overactivity of the glutamic acid will cause | :
excitotoxicity
47
What is the name of AMINO ACID NT that has these properties? Plays role specifically in spinal cod,has its own receptor which similar in function and structure of the GABA-A receptor and cannot cross the BBB:
Glycine /inhibitory transmitter
48
The GABA is present in the brain synapses down to 40 | T or F?
False it’s up to 40% of the brain synapses
49
GABA PRESENT IN THE BRAIN TISSUE ONLY BUT NO IN MAMMALIAN EVENTHOUGH CAN BE PRESENT FOR LOW AMOUNTS. True or False
True GODD SOSY🥳♥️♥️

3/ Nigrostrtatal.
59
Parkinson’s disease is associated with which dopamine pathway?
Nigrostriatal because it is responsible of the motor control and has the 70% of dopamine in the whole brain. So if the dopamine is low this tract will not work so the motor control process will be stopped and the Parkinson’s disease will be showed up
60
What are the receptors of norepinephrine?
Alpha adrenergic receptor | Beta adrenergic receptor
61
``` Which of the following NT is the can be both excitatory and inhibitory effects: Ach 5HT Nitric oxide NA DOPAMINE B and C ```
B and C
62
Peptide-transmitter are large molecular | T or F?
Tue and that is why they cannot be reuptaken by the storage vesicles or terminate it by the enzyme mechanisms.
63
The peptide transmitters are synthesized in the cell body of the neurons and transported to the nerve ending by?.?
Atonal transport.
64
The non-peptide neurotransmitter can be reuptaking and metabolized by the enzyme mechanisms; True or False??
True such GABA NT
65
Neuro-peptide can act as NT and NM: | True or False?
True
66
In the CNS there is a huge amount of nitric oxide synthase enzyme that producing NO in certain classes of neurons and increase the formation of cGMP? T OR F?.??
True
67
What is the transmitter that distributed in brain lipid derivatives that bind to cannabinoids receptors and when activate it will affect the memory, cognition and pain perception?
Endocannabinoids
68
Which of the CNS transmitter when being activated affect the pain perception? Gasotransmitter Endocannabinoids Neuro-peptide transmitter
Endocannabinoids
69
What are the protein molecules that the drugs interact with?.
1/ion channel 2/receptor 3/enzyme 4/transport protein
70
The membranes of nerve cells contain two types of ion channels controlling their gating (opening and closing):
A. voltage-gated: | B. ligand-gated channels:
71
Which ion channel regulated the neuronal membrane by regulating the membrane potential??
Voltage-gated ion channel
72
What is the ion channel that regulated by the interaction between the NT and their receptors?
Ionotropic (ligand gated ion channel)
73
What are the ways of the metabotrobic do to NT?
1/direct action of G-protein ion channel | 2/G-protein enzyme activation lead to form a diffusible second messenger
