Fentanyl is an opioid similar to morphine, except, according to the CDC, it is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Discuss the effects of fentanyl on specific receptors and how the transmission of action potentials is altered. Be sure to focus only on how the action potential transmission is impacted by the drug.

Phenytoin (sodium channel blocker) and ethosuximide (calcium channel blocker) are anti-seizure drugs that stop seizures from happening. These drugs work by inhibiting electrical impulses (action potentials) from occurring. Explain the importance of sodium and calcium channels on a neuron and and the reasons why action potentials do not occur when these channels are inhibited. Be sure to include the phases of an action potential, the channels involved, and the importance of an action potential. Thank you

If a patient was experiencing difficulty controlling their movement and displaying motor tremors and this problem was seen ONLY in the central nervous system (not PNS), what system in the central nervous system is likely where the dysfunction is located, what neurotransmitter would likely be related to these symptoms, and what would be the effect of blocking reuptake for this neurotransmitter if the patient was given a reuptake inhibitor for this neurotransmitter?
