What does drincking do to your brain?
It controls the action of central nervous system.
What does the central nervous system use to determine the strength of a stimulus?
frequncy of action poteinals
How does a barbiturate work?
Barbitturates communly known as CNS depressants, they show their action by stimulation the inhibitory pathway in CNS i.e they stimulate GABA (gamma Aminobutyric acid) there by decreasing the excitation of Cns and causes sedation or hypnosis.
A drug that increases the action of the central nervous system the heart and other organs?
Tobacco
Is barbiturate an opiate?
No. A barbiturate is a cellular poison, an opiate mimics a normal neurotransmitter, thus changing the action of a cell but not the cell itself.
Is phenobarbital an opiate?
No, it is related to substituted pyrimidine derivative which has similar action to that of Barbiturate but doesn't belong to barbiturate, phenyton related to group of Hydantoins.
What are two major divisions of the nervous system?
THE TWO DIVISION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR CNS AND PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OR PNS . Central nervous system consist of the brain and the spinal cord . It receives and sorts out information coming from the environment and from inside the body and determines the appropriate action. Peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that extend throughout the body . It is through these nerve cells that communicate between the Central nervous system and body tissues take place
The cells in the nervous system that receive and send neurotransmitter messages?
impulses travel to and from the central nervous system allowing the brain and spinal cord to control all your other body systems
What is the produced by glands to stimulate cells or tissues into action?
Hormones are produced by glands to stimulate cells or tissues into action
What type of impulses does the nervous system use to send messages to the brain and spinal cord?
Organs and parts of your body send information to the central nervous system (that's your brain and spinal cord) by electrical impulses. When the impulses reach the central nervous system, a response is triggered. For example, if you touch a hot object, receptors on your skin will trigger an action potential in nerve cells. This action potential will be passed on to the next cell and so on until it reaches the central nervous system. The triggering of action potentials is what causes the electrical impulse. The central nervous system will then send impulses back to your hand via a motor nerve and will cause you to automatically pull your hand away.
When an action potential passes through the central nervous system without going to the brain it is called a?
I believe that you are referring to a "reflex".
What type of cell enhances the velocity of electrical transmission of an action potential along an axon in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocyte
