Neurotransmitters per 2 by Tana DeLeon https://padlet.com/tana_deleon/vcrahfntvck65im0 Classification/Function en-us 2020-10-15 14:53:57 UTC 2024-06-04 13:19:52 UTC hello@padlet.com Group 5 - Meiko Sardegna, Delanie Thomas, and David Ochoa - Dopamine davido585 https://padlet.com/tana_deleon/vcrahfntvck65im0/wish/833443748 1. Dopamine can be considered both an excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter
2. Refer to the image attached for structure.
3. The function of dopamine is that it plays in motor control, motivation, arousal, and reinforcement. This Neurotransmitter is important, because it plays a role in our daily behaviors such as movement like eating, learning, or becoming addicted to drugs.

  • GABA is a inhibitory neurotransmitter
  • GABA is made up of five protein subunits. Each subunit is a string of amino acids that pass in and out of the cell membrane four separate times.
  • The function of GABA is to reduce the activity of the neuron that it binds to. It controls the fear or anxiety that you experience when neurons are overexcited. GABA is an important neurotransmitter because it has an important role in behavior, cognition, and the response to stress.

    1. Norepinephrine is an excitatory neurotransmitter.
    2. Picture below
    3. Norepinephrine increases heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, it helps break down fat and drastically increases blood sugar levels. Increased blood sugar levels mean further energy for the body. This neurotransmitter is critical as it increases alertness and quickens reaction time. It also has been shown to play a part in an individuals attitude and capacity to focus.

    1. Both excitatory and inhibitory

    3. Vasopressin is  important because it conserves fluid volume in the body by reducing the amount of water passed in the urine. Anti diuretic hormone helps control blood pressure by affecting the kidneys and the blood vessels.

Epinephrine is an excitatory Neurotransmitter
    2. Refer to the image below 
    3. The function of epinephrine is to release adrenaline into the blood stream. It is very important because during times of stress your body needs to be producing more blood. It releases blood into your blood stream and prepares your body for a dangerous situation by increasing heart rate, blood pressure and glucose production.

  • Histamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter
    •    2.   Histamine is produced when allergies and inflammatory
       3.   histamine a compound which is released by cells in response to injury and in allergic and inflammatory reactions, causing contraction of smooth muscle

    1. Endorphin is any of a group of hormones secreted within the brain and nervous system and having a number of physiological functions.
    2. Image below
    3. Endorphins help one deal with stress and reduce feelings of pain but can also be released during other activities like eating or exercise. They are important because they boost pleasure, resulting in a feeling of well-being.

This neurotransmitter is found in the gaps or synapse between the neurons. Its responsible for inhibiting signals exchanged between nerve cells  


    Structure-  Acetylcholine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acly cholines. Its structure written out is C7NH16O2+. 


    function/ why it's important- Acetylcholine is the chief neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of the peripheral nervous system that contracts smooth muscles, dilates blood vessels, increases bodily secretions, and slows heart rate.

    - Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It is transported to and secreted by the pituitary gland. It is normally produced in the hypothalamus.

    Describe the structure or include a picture.
    -Excitatory neurotransmitter
    It is a nonapeptide, a peptide with nine amino acids                              -Oxytocin affects mainly the reproductive system, controlling childbirth and lactation   
    -It also plays a part in aspects of human behaviour

    What is the function? Why is this neurotransmitter important?
     -Oxytocin is a hormone that acts on organs in the body and as a chemical messenger in the brain. This hormone is crucial in the role of the childbirth process and also helps with male reproduction.

    Aidan Vargas, Vicktoria deVaux, Evangelin Hernandez

    1. Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that is released by nerve cells in the brain. Excitatory had a likelihood that the neuron will fire an action potential. 

    Some functions of the Glutamate are: 
    1. Supports Brain Function
    2. Plays a Role in Immunity
    3. Supports Muscle Function 
    4. Increases Appetite and Satiety

    Why is glutamate important?
    It's considered an excitatory neurotransmitter, which means it stimulates areas in the brain or other parts of the nervous system. That type of stimulation is an essential part of the learning process, so in that way, glutamate is a good thing.
