adrenaline
What neurotransmitter does not go through the re-uptake process?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that does not go through the reuptake process. Instead, it is broken down by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft.
When you make a homemade electromagnet with wire and a nail and a battery does stripping the wire that is coiled around the nail make the electromagnet stronger?
No, this will stop the magnet from functioning and is the same as using a short thick wire instead of a long coiled wire.
Is the gene for giving birth to twins recessive or dominant?
The correct term would be allele, not gene. There is no allele for having twins.Twins are born as a result of several environmental and chance factors, such as the release of two eggs instead of one (caused by hormone imbalances at certain times, which has several causes of its own) or the random extra division occurring in the fertilised zygote (which is much a random event, although possibly also depending on hormone levels). There is no allele that results in a given person always giving birth to twins.
Why does radiation affect cellular functioning?
Everything that happens in a cell depends upon chemical reactions; a cell is effectively a chemical machine. When radiation strikes a molecule, it usually has enough energy to alter that molecule, and the altered molecule will have different chemical properties than it originally had, and it will not carry out its normal role in the biochemistry of the cell, but may instead interfere with that biochemistry.

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that does not go through the reuptake process. Instead, it is broken down by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft.
What does Hormone therapy refer to?
It treats cancers by changing the hormone balance of the body, instead of by using cell-killing drugs
Why is gigantism usually more difficult to treat than dwarfism?
some forms of dwarfism are caused by a hormone insufficiency, which can be partially treated by providing the patient with the hormone (growth hormone). in gigantism instead, there is overproduction of this hormone, which can't be put in normal range.
Could you have been wrongly diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder type 2 instead you have high functioning autism?
Yes
Does pons signal the anterior pituitary gland to release its hormones?
The hypothalamus secretes releasing hormones that stimulate the release of hormones by the anterior pituitary. These hypothalamic releasing hormones include: * Thyrotropin-releasing hormone * Corticotropin-releasing hormone * Gonadotropin-releasing hormone * Growth hormone-releasing hormone
Elia is using logic instead of guess work in her study of society. Based on Auguste Comte's views Elia is functioning as a?
Positivist
Can the menopause affect a pregnancy test?
Menopause is a completely different hormone compared to the pregnancy hormone. You wont get a positive on a pregnancy test during the menopause. The only time your get a positive is when HCG is in your urine and your pregnant. Menopause is not a hormone. Better literacy ("you will get a positive," instead of "your get a positive," "won't, instead of "wont," and "you're pregnant," not "your pregnant") as well as a citation to some medical authority would also help to improve this answer.
During neurotransmission when the electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon it crosses a gap called a?
The impulse itself does not actually cross the gap, which is called a synapse by the way, instead it stimulates the realease of a neurotransmitter from vesicles. When the neurotransmitter reaches the other side of the synapse it binds proteins on the opposing membrane and in doing so stimulates the membrane to continue the action potential on the mect cell.
What is acetylcholen?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an exitatory neurotransmitter. This means it is released from the synapse of the neurone and promotes the continuation of the AP in the next neurone instead of inhibiting it. ACh is part of the peripheral nervous system and is not very prominent in the central nervous system.
Can you use Levothyroxin instead of thyroxin?
Levothyroxine is a synthetic agent that is chemically identical to the naturally occurring thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. The only difference is in the name. "Thyroxine" refers to the major hormone secreted by the thyroid gland; "levothyroxine" refers to the replacement hormone prescribed by doctors for conditions such as hypothyroidism.
Why can you change only one manipulated variable?
Imagine you're doing an experiment in which you want to see the effect of an hormone in a cell culture. You have to control (know the values of the properties you are experimenting in) things like temperature, nutrient concentration, pH (acidity), etc. If you want to know if this hormone you are testing actually affects your cell culture, you must only vary this variable (e.g. hormone concentration mass/volume). If you, instead, change hormone concentration and pH, you may not be entirely sure if the effect you looked in your cell culture was caused by the hormone concentration or the pH. So, regardless methodological discipline, you can only vary one variable at a time.
