Morphine and other opiates are able to lock into receptor sites for?
not serotonine
A good analogy for the way in which a neurotransmitter binds to receptor sites is?
a key fitting in the lock of a door
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.
Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as dopamine?
Dopamine is incorrect. Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as endorphins.
Does bupremnorphine affect opioids?
yes bupremorphine is a semi-synthetic opioid that when it comes into contact with the brains opiate receptors, instead of bouncing rapidly in and out like pure opiates such morphine (heroin) , oxycontin, and lortab, bupremorhpine docks and saturates the receptor without bouncing in and out. Its stationary nature in the receptor is why if any other opiates are taken with bupremorphine just bounce off the receptor and flush harmlessly out of the system. Never take any opiates with bupremorphine.
Do t cells have receptor sites?
Yes.
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
Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as?
endorphine
Which drug binds to the same receptor sites as the endorphins?
Heroin
