alpha receptors make the heart beat faster, the pupils of the eyes dilate, and the muscles contract. The beta receptors have similar effects and also cause the bronchi in the lungs to open up


What is the definition of the word cholinergic?

The word cholingeric deals with biology and neurotransmitters. It means that a nerve can be activated by acetylcholine within the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the nervous system.


What is the voltage change at the receptor site of a neuron?

When a neuron is activated, there is a change in the voltage across the cell membrane at the receptor site. This change is known as a postsynaptic potential and can be either depolarizing (making the neuron more likely to fire an action potential) or hyperpolarizing (making the neuron less likely to fire an action potential).


When the second excitory postsynaptic potential arrives at a single synapse before the effect of the first has disappeared what occurs?

Summation occurs, where the two excitatory postsynaptic potentials combine to reach the threshold for firing an action potential. This can be either temporal summation, where two EPSPs from the same presynaptic neuron occur in quick succession, or spatial summation, where EPSPs from different presynaptic neurons arrive simultaneously.


What does a solenoid pack do on a 1996 Chrysler Town and Country?

The solenoid pack is activated by the transmission computer to control fluid flow in the transmission. That is how the correct gears are selected.


What does dd off light mean on 2000 Honda CR-V?

Are you sure you don't mean OD off light? If so, that means that the overdrive gear in your transmission is not activated. On automatic transmission models there is a button on the end of the shift lever which controls whether the transmission is in overdrive or not. Push in on this button - the light should go out and overdrive will be activated (which will definitely give you better gas mileage).


How is activated carbon effectively used you the treatment of oral poisoning?

Activated carbon will chemically bond with many (poisonous) substances, making them more inert, and enabling them to be passed out of the body fairly harmlessly. It is not a cure-all, but is a very useful addition to first-aid kits for "accidental poisoning".


How are chemically gated channels activated?

Chemically-gated ion channels are receptor membrane proteins that are permeable to specific ions. The 'gating' part of it refers to the channel being open only once activated; which in this case will be by a chemical. An example would be the AMPA glutamate receptor, which has a channel pore that is permeable to sodium ions. Only by binding to glutamate (a neurotransmitter) does the channel allow sodium ions to enter the cell.


Is the transmission on a Honda Passport electrical?

It is referred to as electrically activated an controlled. It is, however, still a mechanical device with gears and pumps and so on.


Is state change a chemical or physical change?

It's a physical change, because being that the change occurs without any proper chemically activated source state change is natural.


How do you know if you have cancer cells in your body?

Cancer cells are a natural occurrence in the human body, so everybody has them. This does not mean they are harmful or active, they only cause cancer in over abundance or if chemically activated somehow.
