A drug that slows heart rate is called a negative chronotrope and this is demonstrated in this experiment where acetylcholine is used to slow the rate of the Daphnia’s

Hypothalamic-Pituitary- Adrenal Axis Neurotransmitters The HPA axis is a complex set of direct influences and feedback interactions among the hypothalamus‚ the pituitary gland‚ and the adrenal glands. The interactions among these organs constitute a major part of the neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to stress and regulates many body processes‚ including digestion‚ the immune system‚ mood and emotions‚ sexuality‚ and energy storage and expenditure. Several monoamine neurotransmitters

When the nerve endings within the airway are stimulated by the original stimuli‚ in this case an allergen‚ the parasympathetic nervous system overcompensates and signals the release of acetylcholine from the synaptic knobs (Brown et al 2016‚ Marieb & Hoehn 2016). Acetylcholine functions to increase the contractions in smooth muscles in the Bronchi and secrete excess mucus‚ which then cannot be moved away from the airways due to impaired mucociliary function (Brown et al 2016).

Observations made that constituted a positive (+) for inotropic effect were signs of increased force in regards to the heart muscle contracting. Likewise‚ a negative (-) inotropic effect was noted for signs of less forceful contractions of the pig heart. A positive chronotropic effect was denoted by an increase in heart rate‚ and conversely a negative chronotropic effect was observed by a decrease in overall heart rate shortly after the drugs were administered. Discussion: The results obtained

The effect of drugs‚ toxins‚ and other molecules on synapse and synapse transmission. The synapse is the small gap separating two neurons‚ the presynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse to the synapse‚) and postsynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse away from the synapse.) It separates the axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron from the postsynaptic neuron. The synapse is made of three major parts: a presynaptic neuron‚ a postsynaptic neuron‚ and a synaptic cleft. The presynaptic

Effects of Electrical Stimuli and Injected Reagents on Frog Hearts Melissa Higdon Section 05‚ Group 01 November 19‚ 2013 Introduction: The heart is a very complex muscle for all species. It is responsible for sending oxygenated blood throughout the body as well as sending deoxygenated blood to the lungs‚ and continuously circulate this way for as long as we are alive. Many things can be effected‚ for example how fast the heart beats or how much

Chemical and Environmental Effects on the Heart Introduction The heart is the centerpiece of the circulatory system‚ its muscular contractions allow for the timely delivery of essential gases and nutrients to virtually all cells of the body. The pressure created by the heart also plays a vital role in eliminating wastes through organs such as the kidney‚ thus the heart delivers and helps maintain nutrient and waste composition throughout the body. The heart‚ like all muscle cells‚ releases ionic
