A: Dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine
Q: What is the gap between the sending cell and receiving cell called?
A: The synaptic cleft.
Q: What is the function of the neurotransmitter dopamine?
A: Reward, pleasure, behavior, sleep and learning.

a) They help signals release across the synapse to travel to other neurons.
2. What is the function of an action potential?
b) An action potential creates an electrical charge on the neuron and allows an electrical signal to travel down it.
3. What are neurotransmitters stored in?
c) Vessicles
4. What can stop the action of neurotransmitters?
d) diffusion
5. What is one function of dopamine and what happens to this function if you don't have dopamine?
e) Dopamine controls our movements and if you don't have it it can lead to Parkinson's disease where your movements aren't smooth or controlled.]]> 2017-11-06 19:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferstrathman/cjj0j60kvrzf/wish/204081472 Sarah Tate https://padlet.com/jenniferstrathman/cjj0j60kvrzf/wish/204083528 1) Who first discovered neurotransmitters?

3. What is the function of the neurotransmitter dopamine? 
-sleep, behavior, pleasure, reward, and learning
4. Why is an impulse stopped or terminated?
-there are too few neurotransmitters bound to send an impulse or it was an inhibitory neurotransmitter so it prevented the impulse from being passed on
