    specialised neurons that produce and release ADH into the body‚ ADH is manufactured in the cell body within these cells‚ lying in the hypothalamus. ADH flows through the axon into the terminal bulb in the posterior pituitary gland‚ where it is stored until needed. When neurosecretory cells are stimulated‚ action potentials are sent down their axons releasing ADH‚ which enters the blood capillaries running through the posterior pituitary gland then is transported around the body acting on cells of collecting

    Mammalian Physiology Homework on Drug Mechanisms 1. Release and degradation of the neurotransmitter inside the axon terminal. Drug: Reserpine Pharmacology: Most often used to treat mild to moderate hypertension. Mode of action: Reserpine inhibits the ATP/MG2+ pump responsible for packaging neurotransmitters into vesicles in the presynaptic neuron. This causes the free neurotransmitters to be degraded by MAO‚ leading to a reduction in catecholamines. 2. Increased neurotransmitter release
