You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the?

You could locate sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse by finding the synapses. They are defined as a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.


You could locate receptor sites involved in transmiting a nerve impulse by finding the?

Synapse? Dendrite? Dendritic spine? Or, "You could maybe a better answer to your question get if you re-stated it less confusingly as?" ie, perhaps, "Where are the receptor sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse LOCATED?"


What is H2-receptor antagonist?

H2 refers to nerve cells in your body and brain which are able to receive Histamines. There are H1 and H2 receptors for Histamines, maybe others. So, an H2 antagonist will prevent Histamines from being absorbed by the nerve cell receptor sites.


What are holes in the surface of the dendrites or certain cells of the muscles and glands that are shaped to fit only certain neurotransmitters?

Neurotransmitter receptor sites on ligand-gated ion pores.

What will help prevent brain damage in nerve agent victims?

Rapid administration of an antidote can help prevent or mitigate the consequences of some nerve agents. Some nerve agents such as organophosphates can be managed with 2-pam Chloride and Valium. The 2-pam Chloride blocks receptor sites preventing the organophosphate from binding to receptor sites and Valium aids in the prevention or termination of seizures. in organophosphate poisoning, the greatest risk of brain damage comes from the body's inability to effectively breathe during seizures, or effectively exchange oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs due to excessive fluid and mucus production. Essentially, a lack of oxygen causes neurological damage.

Which structure is like a locked door that only certain neurotransmitter key can unlock?

Since only 1 neurotransmitter fits in the receptor sites, you can say that the receptor sites is the locked door waiting for the neurotransmitter "keys".
