Anatomy & Physiology- Nervous System/CNS- Pt. 2

_____________ is a Neurotransmitter than stimulates the skeletal muscles and acts primarily on the parasympathetic nervous system. It is mainly found in the brain and helps with memory.

_____________ are Neurotransmitters that are involved in sleep, motor function, mood and pleasure. Two types are Epinephrine and Norepinephrine.

A Neurotransmitter found in the brain and ANS, known as a 'feel-good transmitter' is the ____________.

Considered a stimulant, this Neurotransmitter is released by the mast cells as part of the inflammatory process. It can also play a role in emotions and stimulate pain receptors.

This Neurotransmitter usually works as an inhibitor in the CNS, and effects biological cycles, sleep, and moods. Can also be described as a 'feel-good receptor'.

The Neurotransmitter that is generally inhibitory and found in the brain is the _____________.

This Neurotransmitter is generally excitatory and is found in the CNS, it is thought to be responsible for as much as 75% of the excitatory signals in the brain.

These Neurotransmitters are found in the brain, retina, and gastrointestinal tract, the function is still unlear.

_______________ are endogenous morphines that block the brain from feelin pain and is generally inhibitory.

This Neurotransmitter inhibits the release of growth hormone and is a gut-brain peptide.

_____________ is found in the brain, some ANS and sensory fibers, retina, and GI tract, and its function is unclear.

___________ is excitatory and is found in the brain, spinal cord, sensory pain pathways, and GI tract. It transmits pain information.
