Marijuana exerts its psychological effects through the actions of its active ingredient THC. What is the mechanism of action of THC? A. THC blocks dopamine reuptake transporters in the nucleus accumbens B. Marijuana does not act on the brain C.

What is the most likely mechanism producing tolerance to cocaine and then the dysphoria that is associated with cocaine withdrawal? A. Dynorphin neurons cause presynaptic inhibition to decrease dopamine release into the nucleus accumbens B. Cocaine runs the dopamine transporter backwards to cause tolerance and withdrawal C. cocaine binds to opiate receptors in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) D. Dynorphin neurons stimulate dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and increase dopamine release into the nucleus accumbens

Why does epinephrine bind its receptor in a different location than cortisol binds its receptor? A. The receptor binding site of epinephrine must be extracellular because the cell’s membrane is a barrier that prevents epinephrine from reaching any intracellular binding sites. B. The membrane blocks cortisol from entering the cell, therefore cortisol must bind the receptor on the cell’s extracellular surface. C. Cortisol easily passes through the cell’s plasma membrane. Therefore, the cortisol receptor is found intracellularly. D. Epinephrine can dissolve across the plasma membrane and bind its intracellular receptor. E. Both A&C F. Both B&D
