    • decrease dop production in substania nigra which the dop them permit the functyioning of the  basal ganglia which is responsible for smooth movment, initiation and stopping of movement which explains symptoms
  188. relational key word
    • show how ideas in the passage are connect
    • included difference and similarity key words;
    • shows the author is keeping the same idea going
    • similarity- example phrase addition phrases ,
    • colons (:) and semicolons (;) are the same thing as an equal sign, look out for quations, dashes and pernthsis.

    difference- signal change of direction of text,need attention, anticipate while you read and if it goes beyond expectation goot question material
  189. opposition key words,
    • black and white;, no gray

    • withh words like best, most,  or vice versa
    • can show judgment and attitude
  192. Author keywords
    • positive shows that the author feel good about this text and negative is vice verse.
    • there are extremes for both 
    • most of the time the MCAt put moderate clauses. modeerate clause make a claim easier to accept with word like " could, in this case, might, may, can, at this time"
  193. Logic keywords
    • very sparse 
    • sometimes give connections and not logical justifications
    • conclusion- what the author is trying to get you to believe 
    • evidende reasons to believe it 
    • evidence and conclusion keywords often signifiy diff. relation (e.g. cause & effect)
  194. refutation keywords
    • provide reason to not accept a conclusion 
    • words like despite, notwithstanding, chellaneg object, conflict, crttique, problem
  195. astrocytes
    form blood brain barrier. controls solute intake from blood into nervous system
  196. ependymal cells
    line ventricles and makes CSP  help protect brain
  197. microglia
    ingest and break down waste products and pathogens in CNS
  198. two types of summation
    • Temporal-mutiple signals summation during a short period of time. e.g. # of small excitatory signals all happening near the same time.
    • Spatial-summation is based on the number and location of the incoming signal. more inhibitory neurons firing at once results in more hyperpolarzation.
  199. impulse propogation
    how action potential travel down the axon and the opening of Na channels in one region of the cell causes/ inducing na channels that are proximal  to open as well. moving in one direction
  200. what affects the effectiveness of a action potential
    • cross section increase- pot. increase
    • length decrease- pot. increase and vice versa
  201. ligand-gated ion channels and g protein coupled recptors
    postsynaptic cell will e sep or hyper, while the other changes levels in cAMp or influx of calcium, respectively.
  202. ways to break down neurotrasmitters
    • enzymes break it down
    • reuptake carrie bring it back into the presynatic cell
    • or they just diffuse out of the cleft
  203. white matter
    axons and myelin sheath
  204. grey matter
    cell bodies and dendrites
  205. km
    • the concentration of substrate required for an enzyme to be active at half of it maximum velocity (V max)
    • small/lower Km means that the enzyme has a high affinity for the substrate; require small amount of substrate to be saturated 
    • so large Km means low affinity and the enzyme needs more of the substrate to be saturated. 
    • inversely related to affinity
  206. PFK-1
    • The rate limiting enzyme 
    • inhibited by ATP, and citrate
    • Induced by AMP 
    • enryg produced stop it and low energy increase it
  207. substrate level phosphorylation
    • when ADP is directly translated to ATP for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase 
    • Is one of the only ways for ATP to be made anaerobically
  208. feed-forward activation
    the product of an earlier reaction in glycolysis stimulate/prepares a later reaction in the same cycle
  209. fermentation
    • goal is to replenish NAD+
    • lactase dehyrogenase 
    • prevents glycolysis from stopping at Glyceraldehyde 3 P with the replenishing of NAD+
    • happens during poor oxygen conditions 
    • allows ATP to be generated by aerobic respiration
  210. neumonic for the irreversible enzymes in glycolysis
    • How Glycolysis Pushed Forward the Process:Kinases 
    • Hexikinase
    • Glucokinase
    • PFK-1
    • Pyruvate Kinases
  211. Glycolysis in RBC
    • anareobic
    • 2-ATP per glucose
    • bisphophoglycerate mutase tjat produces 2,3-BPG from 1,3-BPG in glycolysis 
    • 2,3,BPG is what is responsible for lowered o2 affinity in Hemoglobin 
    • rememeber: Exercise is the right thing to do 
    • This is because when you have low O2, high Co2 , low ph, and high 2,3-BPG from strenuousnactivities like exercise
  212. emf ( electromotive force)
    • The electrical potential difference in a cell 
    • + emf- system can release energy and vice verse 
    • this also means that GIBBS free energy is - <0
    • and spontaneous
  213. How do electrons move in an electrochemical cell?
    • from anode to cathode
    • just like the ABC's
    • and the current(I)  goes in the opposite direction
  214. Current (I)
    the flow of positive charge
  215. structure of a galvanic (voltaic) cell
    • two different electrodes placed in seprate compartments called half cells.The half cells are connected by a copper wire. electrolyte solution surrounds the electrodes.
    • solutions are connected by a salt bridge
