Lecture 1 2009Biological Psychology Laboratory

Organelles of the Neuron

  power plants - ATP - energy

regulates water, nutrients and wastes, ions, receptors

DNA 

protein synthesis(translation)

enzymes - digestion of nutrient molecules

Packaging in vesicles

Rough ER: Protein export Smooth ER: cell membrane
