Physiology Exercise 3 Activity 1 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Your answer: By increasing the extrecellular K+ the net diffiusion of K+ out the neuron through the eak channels is reduced. This is caused by the flow of ions following the concentration gradient of traveling from an area of high concentration to areas of low concentration. The higher concentration gradient would result in a reduced diffusions

The medication is a mixture of various salts of the two amphetamine stereoisomers and inactive ingredients; by salt content‚ the active ingredients are 75% dextroamphetamine salts and 25% levoamphetamine salts . Adderall works by increasing the activity of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain‚ which results from its interactions with trace amine associated receptor 1 and vesicular monoamine transporter 2 . Adderall shares many chemical and

The brain develops very quickly 75% by age 2. Describe the brain’s communication system and all of the individual parts associated with this. Neuron‚ axon dendrite‚ synapse‚ neurotransmitter and receptor. Also include transient exuberance. Neuron consists of a cell body and branching fibers. Neurons can communicate by firing chemical or electrical signals. It is excitable and can transmit and process information through electrical and chemical signals. Those signals occur in synapses. Synapses are

The brain‚ which weighs only three pounds and is made up of eighty percent water‚ is the key organ of our nervous system. It is divided into three different parts: the Cerebrum‚ the Cerebellum‚ and the Medulla Oblongata. The "gray matter" of the brain is about one-eighth inch thick and it gives the brain its gray color. Inside the brain is the cortex‚ which is made up of billions of neurons. These neurons extend into the cerebral hemisphere and it controls all mental activity. In this report I will

Observing the neuron up close‚ one would see they are basically ions‚ “sodium and calcium”‚ they pass through a channel and work as neurotransmitters that bind to a receptor that let the cell know whether to open up the ion channels to relay the message called “Exhibitory Neurotransmitters” or vice versa to close the channel called an “Inhibitory Neurotransmitter” (Wanpracha‚ 2008). During an epileptic seizure the neurons become impaired and begin sending out Exhibitory signals over and over‚ it’s

hypothesis states that schizophrenic’s neurones transmitting dopamine release the neurotransmitter too easily‚ leading to the characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia. This hypothesis claims that schizophrenics have abnormally high amounts of D2 receptors; receptors that receive dopamine‚ therefore resulting in a higher amount of D2 receptors binding to the receptors causing more impulses. Dopamine neurotransmitters play a key role in guiding attention‚ so an imbalance of this neuron leads to problems

The term “bio” means life and “logos” means study. The word biology can thus be defined as the study of life. The study of physiological bases of behavior is known as Biological psychology. Biological psychology is the study in three ways namely the comparative method‚ Physiology and Investigation of inheritance. In the comparative method a number of different species are studied and then the results are compared and are related in order to understand the human behavior. Physiology basically focuses
