March 26‚ 2013 Lecture -The function of the eye is to convert photons of light into action potentials (nerve impulses). -The inner layer is a nervous tunic (made out of nerve cells)=retina. -Refraction: Bends light. -The purpose of the cornea and the lens is to take an object and focus every little detail of the object on the retina on the back of the lens. Upside down and backwards. -When light goes through medias‚ it bends. -Lens are suspended by ligaments behind the pupil. Suspensory ligaments

studies‚ GAD has a lifetime prevalence rate of 4-7% and therefore‚ being able to understand the mechanisms triggering GAD is essential. Let us begin with some important definitions. γ-Aminobutyric acid‚ also known as GABA is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays the principal role in reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. GABA-A receptors are one form of GABA receptors

In the ileum. Through this‚ we can delve deeper by understanding how nerves‚ through the actions Of various neurotransmitters affect the motility of the gastrointesital tract. Furthermore‚ we can investigate The effects of drugs‚ and their uses in replicating effects of autonomic neurotransmitters as well as The way certain drugs can interfere with autonomic neurotransmitters and how they interact with Their target tissues.

cognitively‚ therefore it inhibits the general pattern of development. For example‚ one of the symptoms of ADHD is low muscle tone which is due to abnormal chemical balances in the brain; “ADHD is caused by differences in neurotransmitter patterns in certain parts of the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that make it possible for nerve impulses to travel from one nerve cell to another‚ and therefore play an essential role in the functioning of the brain. The brain performs a vast range of tasks or functions

Big Hero 6 is one of the best Disney’s animated movie which is successful to win people heart. There are couples of a reason why this movie grab my attention and one of the best reason is Baymax‚ which is the sweetest characters ever made by Disney. Baymax has got a great personality‚ background‚ appearances

What are neurotransmitters? Nervous impulses are electrical signals that travel along neurons. The electrical signals cannot travel from one neuron to the next directly. The signal crosses the gap‚ called a synapse‚ between cells in chemical form. One neuron releases chemicals in response to an action potential (nerve impulse). The chemicals travel across the synapse and stimulate an action potential in the next neuron. These chemicals are known as neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are stored

Impulse causes depolarisation at synaptic knobs • Release of neurotransmitter [NT] from vesicles into synaptic cleft (> 40 known NTs) • Diffusion of NT across synaptic cleft • NT acts on postsynaptic receptors (motor end plates [MEPs] at NMJ) – most NTs excitatory‚ some inhibitory) • Depolarisation of postsynaptic membrane • Conduction of impulse along the next neurone or activation of effector organ Fate of PNS neurotransmitters • Acetylcholine (ACh): broken down in synaptic cleft by the

1. Acetylcholine (ChA) Acetylcholine (ChA) is a classical neurotransmitter‚ which is mainly located in neuromuscular junctions‚ where this chemical stimulates motor neurons to active muscles‚ in synapses and other sites across the central nervous system. Cholinergic neurons are the cells that uses acetylcholine to send its messages and perform other important functions [22]. Acetylcholine is synthesized in neuronal terminals from acetyl CoA and choline‚ the enzymes of this reaction is choline
