Concept explainers
To discuss:
The reason why the autonomic effect on a target cell depends on both the neurotransmitter released and the type of receptor on the target cell.
Introduction:
Autonomic nervous system regulates the involuntary physiological functions in the body. It consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Both these systems innervate the target organs based on the sensory stimuli externally and internally. Their innervation and passage of sensory impulses takes place by means of neurotransmitters, a chemical messenger and its respective receptor site on the organ. This has been explained below:

- N-methyl-aspartate (NMDA) receptor is activated by glutamate and is ligand-gated calcium ion channel. True or Falsearrow_forwardAction of neurotransmitters terminated. In these below two options which one is Not a mechanism ? 1. Reuptake by pre synaptic neuron 2. Reuptake by post synaptic neuronarrow_forwardIdentifying Neurotransmitters 3) Produces response in postsynaptic cell - Qualifying condition: Molecules evoking same response as neurotransmitters Presynaptic terminal Postsynaptic. dendrite Drug-containing micropipette (753) Apply drug by passing electrical current Stimulate axon Record V Drug application through the micro-pipette Stimulated neurons Change in membrane potential AVm Outcome 1 Outcome 2 Outcome 3 0 -30 mV 15 mV 0 -15 mV -15 mV What is the interpretation of the above results?arrow_forward
- Why the production of an EPSP and IPSP depend on both the neurotransmitter released by the presynaptic neuron and the type of receptor on the postsynaptic neuron.arrow_forwardASAParrow_forwardHello good day, I'm having a problem answering this question and I need your help. Hoping for a response and thank you so much In 2 paragraphs and each paragraph must have a minimum of 4 sentences. Question: Please explain each of the following major neurotransmitters in the CNS. GABA glutamate glycine peptides (endorphins, enkephalins, dynorphins, substance P) acetylcholine ATP monoamines (norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin)arrow_forward
- The effects of neurotransmitter binding are very brief. Explain.arrow_forwardIn cholinergic neurotransmission, inhibition of the choline transporter will affect the normal synthesis and release acetylcholineTRUE OR FALSEarrow_forwardOrdinarily, patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (who have damage to dopamine-releasing axons) move very slowly if at all. However, during an emergency (e.g., a fire in the building), they may move rapidly and vigorously. Suggest a possible explanation.arrow_forward
- “Facilitation in a neuronal pool” refers to____________ .arrow_forwardPhenytoin (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 the reasons why action potentials do not occur when these channels are inhibited. Thank youarrow_forwardTypes of responses that occur when drugs activate nicotinic or muscarinic receptors.arrow_forward
