What do you use more your temporal lobe or your occipital lobe?
Both parts have various functions, though the most important is memory for the temporal lobe, and vision for the occipital lobe.
How is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site?
Acetylcholine is primarily inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate, which are then taken back up by the presynaptic terminal for further use in neurotransmitter synthesis. This inactivation process allows for the rapid termination of acetylcholine signaling and helps maintain proper neurotransmitter balance in the synapse.
What is a cerebrum?
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain that allows you to think, make decisions, imagine, etc. It contains about 10 billion neurons, and about 50 trillion synapse. The surface of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex, composing of 6 layers of neurons (nerve cells), which is above white pathways. There are also ridges called gyri (singular: gyrus) and valleys called sulci (singular: sulcus). Some Sulci are long and are convenient boundaries between 4 areas of the cerebrum called lobes. The furthest forward is called the frontal lobe and is the most important because of its use for intelligence. http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/genpsycerebrum.HTML
How a neuron sends internal messages?
Neurons send internal messages through the use of action potentials, which are generated through the summation of inputs from the dendrites on the other part of the neuron. These inputs are summed either temporally (over a period of time) or at the same time (instantaneous), and if they push the voltage in the zone of the axon hillock to above threshold, it results in the generation of an action potential. The action potential travels through the axon, and once it reaches the terminal bouton of the axon, it triggers calcium influx into the cell, which causes neurotransmitter release. Neurotransmitter release may either be excitatory or inhibitory depending on the neurotransmitter released; for example, in the CNS, glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter, whereas GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter. They bind to the post-synaptic cell, which triggers the post-synaptic cell response. Note that this is just a general overview for neural transmission; some neurons may have different mechanisms of action.
How does a neuromuscular blocking agent such as metubine interfere with muscle contraction?
A Neuromuscular block may use metubine. Metubine will cause the receptors on the motor end- plate to bind. It antagonizes the neurotransmitter actions when it causes it to bind.
What neurotransmitter might the parietal lobe use and why?
The neurotransmitter used by the parietal lobe is acetylcholine.
What do you use more your temporal lobe or your occipital lobe?
Both parts have various functions, though the most important is memory for the temporal lobe, and vision for the occipital lobe.
How might psychologists use drugs that mimic the effects of neurotransmitters to treat psychological disorders?
psychologists use drugs like high drugs which alerts our minds in unconscious behavior and these mimic the effect of neurotransmitter in our body
What part of the brain use smell?
Frontal Lobe
Which part of the brain perceives the sense of sight?
The thalamus, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe all play parts in visual perception. Most of the processing of visual information occurs in the occipital lobes. If you want to find out if you are left occipital lobe oriented or right occipital lobe orientated, you can try this simple experiment. With both eyes open, look at a small spot on a wall or ceiling across the room from you. Then use one hand and touch the thumb and index fingers together and hold it about arm's length away in front of you and then place the circle you made with your fingers over the spot and alternate closing one eye at a time. You will notice that you can only see the spot with one eye open. It will be the left or the right eye. This shows your dominant vision tendency and whether you prefer to use your left or right eye more.
How do you use commission in a sentence?
the plane was out of commission
Is the frontal lobe of the brain used when driving a motor vehicle?
yes of course, our frontal lobe helps us in thinking, and while driving we obviously think....don't we...so we use our frontal lobe.. while driving.
What part of the brain do you use when doing math?
The left lobe of your brain is the part of the brain you use to do math.
Which is better to get your ears pierced at Claire's or La Lobe?
use Claire's (from experience)
What part of the brain helps to decide what words to use in your speech?
the frontal lobe
Why symphatethic also use acethylcholine?
The sympathetic nervous system uses the neurotransmitter in the fight or flight repsonse
What is epinephine?
You probably mean "epinephrine". This is the preferred term to use when referring to the neurotransmitter/hormone that used to be known as "adrenaline".
