What is Choroid plexus of third ventricle and its function?
The Choroid Plexus has a main function of filtering, removing waste, and foreign substances. It is also responsible for removing excess neurotransmitters.
Chemical messengers that carry the message across the synaptic gap?
Amongst the neuro-transmitter substances, Acitylcholine is there which is secreted in the synaptic region of axons and muscle-fibres since there is no phyiscal gap between them. Their main function is to pass the stimulation to the nerve fibre.
Based on the main neurotransmitters the sympathetic nervous system can be classified as what?
The sympathetic nervous system can be classified as adrenergic, based on the main neurotransmitters used.
What do nitric oxide and epinephrine have in common?
They both function as neurotransmitters. They both function as hormones.
What is one of the main stress neurotransmitters?
Norepinephrine.
What is the function of telodendria?
At the distal end, and axon usually has a terminal arborization(Telodendria)- and extensive complex of fine branches. Each branch ends in a synaptic knob(Terminal button), a little swelling that forms a junction (synapse) with the next cell. It contains synaptic vesicles full of neurotransmitters.
How does a depressant affect brain function?
It slows down the production of Neurotransmitters
What effect can bulimia nervosa have on the brain's neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters-- Certain brain chemicals that may function abnormally in acutely ill bulimic patients.
Do you need serotonin or norepinephrine?
Yes, you need these neurotransmitters for proper neurologic function.
Research on neurotransmitters indicates that?
Research on neurotransmitters indicates that their function can be enhanced or inhibited by certain substances. Inhibitors are called depressants while enhancers are called stimulants.
What carry messages to cells?
Hormones and neurotransmitters are "messengers" that influence cell function.
Where are the 6 neurotransmitters located in the neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are checmials in the brain that help promote brain health by participating in the process of sending signals to various parts of the brain to function appropriately. When neurotransmitters are not functioning appropriately, medication is often used such as Prozac or Paxil. Medication helps neurotransmitters function more adequately.There are six prominent or most commonly discussed neurotransmitters in the brain known as:Serotonin (very important chemical in the brain regulating depression and mood)Dopamine (a chemical that regulates movement)Noradrenalin (a chemical involved with memory and learning)Aceytlcholine (muscle movement)Adrenaline (fight-or-flight response from the nervous system)G.A.B.A. (stops the movement of nerve impulses)
