Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as dopamine?
Dopamine is incorrect. Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as endorphins.
What drugs appear to produce therapeutic effects by blocking receptor sites for dopamine?
antipsychotic drugs
Which drugs appear to produce therapeutic effects by blocking receptor sites for dopamine?
antipsychotics
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.
Is suboxone on opiate?
Suboxoneâ„¢ is the brand name for a prescription medication containing two drugs, one of which is an opiate and the other an opiate antagonist (a compound that occupies the same receptor sites as an opiate without causing any of the effects of an opiate).The opiate in Suboxone is buprenorphine hydrochloride, and the anti-opiate, technically called an opiate antagonist or an opioid antagonist, is naloxone hydrochloride dihydrate. Don't worry about the "hydrochloride" or the "dihydrate" names. They are only artifacts of how the drugs are chemically separated from impurities when the drugs are manufactured. Regardless of the strength of the medication prescribed, the amount of buprenorphine relative to the amount of naloxone is 4:1.You may know that Suboxone is not used to treat pain; it is used to treat opiate dependence, and that is part of the reason that it contains naloxone. Naloxone is the antidote for opiate overdose. It is given to an opiate overdose patient by injection only for two reasons: 1) An overdose patient needs the antidote in his system as soon as possible. 2) When it is taken orally, only about a measly 3% of the naloxone ends up in the patient's blood. The remaining 97% is destroyed by the liver.Suboxone is supposed to only be taken sublingually (placed under the tongue). When taken that way, almost all of the opiate and naloxone gets into the patient's bloodstream. In other words, the bioavailabilities of the drugs are nearly 100%. However, if the thin film were swallowed instead, most of the opiate would get to his bloodstream while only about 3% of the naloxone would be bioavailable.
Do t cells have receptor sites?
Yes.
What receptor sites does opiates lock into?
endorphins
What cells remove neurotransmitters from receptor sites?
Cells known as astrocytes can remove neurotransmitters from the receptor area.
What is an adrenergic receptor?
An adrenergic receptor is any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
How do you locate receptor sites when transmitting a nerve cell?
Synapse
Where are Receptor sites on a neuron primarily found?
dendrites only
Which drug binds to the same receptor sites as the endorphins?
Heroin
