What are the effects of cocaine on the synapse?Cocaine blocks dopamine transporter proteins (also known as re-uptake proteins), thus dopamine stays in the synapse, overstimulating the dopamine receptors in the receiving neuron.
![Page 9: Biology Journal 3/11/2014](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5941/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What are the effects of THC on the synapse?THC reduces the release of dopamine-inhibitors. Thus, lots of dopamine is freely released, causing overstimulation of dopamine receptors.(remember, THC “inhibits the inhibitor of dopamine,” “blocks the blocker,” “shuts down the shutdowner,” etc.)

What could be some reasons that drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine are so addictive?
These drugs influence dopamine and other neurotransmitters that are involved in feelings of pleasure, calm, and the reward mechanism of the brain.

1. What is the charge inside of an axon when it is polarized?
2. What is the charge inside of an axon when it is depolarized?
3. What is the charge inside of an axon when it is repolarized?
![Page 12: Biology Journal 3/11/2014](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5941/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Polarized: (-) inside axon, (+) outside axon. This is the starting, or “resting” potential.Depolarized: (+) inside axon, (-) outside axon. This occurs when the Na+1 diffuses into the axon.Repolarized: (-) inside axon, (+) outside axon. This happens when the K+1 diffuses out of the axon.

What does the myelin sheath do for a neuron?
The myelin sheath speeds up and protects the electrical signal (action potential)

6.5 Nerves6.5.1 State that the nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nerves,
and is composed of cells called neurons that can carry rapid electrical impulses.
6.5.2 Draw and label a diagram of the structure of a motor neuron. Dendrites and cell body with nucleus Axon and myelin sheath nodes of Ranvier motor end plates
6.5.3 State that nerve impulses are conducted from receptors to the CNS by sensory neurons, within the CNS by relay neurons, and from the CNS to effectors by motor neurons.
6.5.4 Define resting potential and action potential (depolarization and repolarization).
6.5.5 Explain how a nerve impulse passes along a non-myelinated neuron. Include the movement of Na+ and K+ ions to create a resting potential and an action potential.
6.5.6 Explain the principles of synaptic transmission. the release, diffusion and binding of the neurotransmitter initiation of an action potential in the post-synaptic membrane subsequent removal of the neurotransmitter
