Trichomes Cannabis also known as marijuana comes from the cannabis plant and is intended to be used for recreational and medical reasons. The plant has a chemical called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for short. (THC) has phychoactive and physiological effects in the body when consumed. When looked at under a microscope you can see trichomes on the surface of the plant. Trichomes are the physical form of (THC). “In nature‚ only the strong survive‚ and it is hypothesized by biologist that trichomes

Trimyristin is an ester with the chemical formula C45H86O6 that can be isolated from the common spice nutmeg. The seed of the evergreen trees in the genus Myristica Fragrans is what nutmeg is obtained from. Trimyristin is the triglyceride of myristic acid also known as saturated fat (3). The phase of trimyristin is solid and is only found soluble in dichloromethane‚ chloroform‚ ether‚ benzene‚ and ethanol (1). Only twenty to twenty-five percent of trimyristin makes up the mass of nutmeg and it

SENSE ORGANS RECEPTORS (Sense organs) * Transducers of specific forms of kinetic energy * Change mechanical‚ electrical‚ thermal‚ chemical‚ or radiant energy into nerve impulses in sensory neurons Two major categories: * GENERAL RECEPTORS * Often exist as individual cells or receptor units * Widely distributed throughout the body * Most numerous such as: * touch‚ temperature‚ and pain: and * to initiate various reflexes necessary for maintaining

action of a drug is the location within the body where the drug exerts its therapeutic effect Mechanism of action explains how a drug produces its effects. Drugs that bind to specific receptors and produce a drug action are called agonists. Morphine is an example of an agonist. Drugs that bind to specific receptors and inhibit agonist drug action or cellular functions are called antagonists. Potency is a measure of the strength‚ or concentration‚ of a drug required to produce a specific effect

memory‚ transmitting sensory data through thalamus Receptors and Neurons Receptors are cells that convert stimulus energy into electrical signals  conversion of one medium to another is called transduction They first convert stimulus energy into graded changes in membrane potential For instance‚ it may fire APs or release neurotransmitters Each receptor has an adequate stimulus  the form of stimulus that it is most responsive to Receptors can be classified according to their adequate stimuli:
