What receptor does aroma therapy stimulate?
What receptor is stimulated by aromatherapy
The adrenergic receptor that causes bronchodilation when stimulated is?
Beta-2
Which type of receptor is stimulated by changes in pressure?
Mechanoreceptors are stimulated by changes in pressure or movements of body fluidsSourceIntroduction to the Human Bodyby Gerard Tortora and Bryan Derrickson
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
What is peripheral adaptation?
Nerve receptor is stimulated so much that will ultimately become less sensitive to the skin.
The cilia in the nasal cavity act in a manner similar to taste buds in that they?
contain receptor sites that are stimulated by different molecules
What happens if a receptor is continuously stimulated does the kind of receptor make a difference Does the intensity or strength make a difference?
The type of receptor makes a difference. The intensity makes a difference. Some receptors need continual stimulation, while others expect only limited stimulation. Skin, eyes, ears, etc. and internal organs, etc., all have receptors.
What would happen if all receptor proteins were removed from the membranes of a liver cell?
Nothing would happen at all.
What would happen if a hormone receptor did not bind to the right site?
I'm assuming you're asking what would happen if a receptor did not bind the proper hormone. The answer is a complex one because binding to a receptor does not necessarily mean that the receptor will be activated. Sometimes binding causes receptor inhibition; other times it can mean that the properties of the receptor change so that other hormones have an easier/harder time binding and activating it. But for the sake of giving an answer, let's say that we want to know what happens if a hormone binds and activates the wrong receptor. That answer is a relatively simple one: in most cases, the same events would take place that normally happen when the correct hormone binds the receptor. Let's take an example of a relatively uncommon cause of hypertension called hypertension exacerbated in pregnancy. In this condition, there's a mutation in the receptor for the hormone aldosterone that allows other hormones besides aldosterone (eg, progesterone) to bind it and activate it. When progesterone levels are high, as in pregnancy, the extra progesterone binds and heavily activates the aldosterone receptor, and the receptor essentially "thinks" that aldosterone has bound. So the action of progesterone at the aldosterone receptor are the same as aldosterone itself; since aldosterone is a major contributor to blood pressure, blood pressure increases to very high levels.
Does Viagra make you horny?
No, it just lets you get an erection. You have to be sexually stimulated in order to get one, it doesn't just happen.
What are important tissue receptor tumor markers?
estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, interleukin-2 receptor, and epidermal growth factor receptor.
What happens when a single particle binds onto a receptor on the cells surface?
It all depends on the receptor and the particle. Nothing may happen if they don't match up like a lock and key. Or a change in the cell may occur.
