Part 1: In action potential, beginning with the role of the presynaptic neuron and
ending with what happens after neurotransmitters bind to receptor sites on the
postsynaptic neuron, arrange step by step the following terms to demonstrate the
usual progression of an electrochemical neutral transmission.

            Receptors                              Soma or Cell Body               Synaptic Vesicles

           Pre-synaptic neuron              Axon terminal                       Synaptic clefts

           Dendrites                              Post-synaptic neuron             Neurotransmitter

           Axon

Steps: 1. Dendrites
2. Receptors
3. Soma/Cell body
4. Axon
5. Axon Terminal
6. Neurotransmitter
7. Synaptic Vesicles
8. Pre-synaptic neuron
9. Post – synaptic neuron
10. Synaptic clefts
Part 2: Match the following neurotransmitters/biochemicals with the function
serves. Write the letter of your answer on the space provided before each item.

A . 1. Exerts excitatory effects on the skeletal muscles fibers.

G 2. Amino acids that serves as  the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain
and spinal cord for memory.

F 3. Primary inhibitory for pain suppression, pleasurable feelings, appetites.

B 4. Involved in learning, attention, movement, and reinforcement.

B 5. Involve in muscle disorders, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s disease.

C 6. Plays an important role in alertness and wakefulness.

D 7. Affects the metabolism of glucose.

H 8. Deficiency of amino acid is believed to be a cause of epilepsy.

E 9. Plays an important role in regulating mood and sleep.

Pre-synaptic Terminal 10.”Athlete’s high” is ascribed to the release of this

neurotransmitter.
