Why can some neurotransmitters be both excitatory and inhibitory?
Excitatory neurotransmitter usually is acetylcholine. To get inhibitory responses in a nerve cell, the arrangement of receptors is different. The study of nervous system in detail will provide you exact answer to your question.
What a neurotransmitter is?
A neurotransmitter is a chemical or peptide in synapses, usually between neurons, a neuron and muscle or a neuron and other organ. The neurotransmitter transmits information to and from and within the brain. When a neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell in response to depolarization of the cell by an action potential, it diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds a receptor or ligand-gated ion channel on the postsynaptic cell. Binding on the postsynaptic cell alters the resting potential of the postsynaptic cell in either an inhibitory or excitatory manner, making the cell less susceptible or more susceptible (respectively) to an action potential. Examples include, but are not limited to, acetylcholine, GABA, noradrenaline, serotonin and dopamine.
Is ATP a neurotransmitter?
Yes. They can serve both as a neurotransmitter and as a hormone.
What are the criteria for a substance in a neurotransmitter at a synapse?
Criteria required identifying a substance as a neurotransmitter 1- ) Synthesis of the substance: • It is synthesized in the neuron • Some substances are synthesized from the Tryptophan • Rate limiting step in its synthesis • Enzymes required in the synthesis of that substance are themselves synthesized in the cell body of neuron ,then distributed throughout the neuron • Mainly found in the cell body and nerve terminal • These enzymes are stored in the presynaptic terminal of neuron, inside the synaptic vesicles. 2- ) Storage of that substance: • The neutransmitter is stored inside the synaptic vesicle of nerve terminal 3- ) Release of the neurotransmitter: • It is released from the nerve terminal usually through Ca++ dependent process following the stimulation of the nerve fiber by action potential. • Fusion of the synaptic vesicle with the nerve membrane releasing neurotransmitter outside the nerve fiber into the synaptic cleft. 4- ) Exogenous analogue (drug) of the neurotransmitter: • If drug analogue of the neurotransmitter is injected exogenously, it should mimic the same mechanism of action as done by the endogenously released neurotransmitter.
What is the name for the impulse generated when a neuron fires?
Brain send the message via nerve impulses involving neurons which use the neuro-transmitter AcetylcholineAcetylcholine- a neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to muscle contraction

Explain the seven elements of the speech communication process. How do these elements interact to determine the success or failure of a speech?
The seven elements of the speech communication process are:speakermessagechannellistenerfeedbackinterferencesituationSituation is the time and place in which speech communication occurs. Interference is anything that impedes the communication of a message. Feedback is the messages, usually nonverbal, sent from a listener to a speaker. Listner is the person who receives the speaker's message. Channel is the means by which a message is communicated. Message is whatever a speaker communicates to someone else. Speaker is the person who is presenting an oral message to a listener.
Is Valium a tranquilizer?
Yes. Valium possesses anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, hypnotic, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant, and amnestic properties. The pharmacological action of Valium enhances the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA by binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABAA receptor leading to central nervous system depression.
What are three ways that the outside world communicates with us?
The internet, phones, and television are three ways the world communicates. While telephones and the internet accept input from the user, television is usually just a one-way communication.
What is change message?
A change message is a message that has been forwarded many times, and usually contains audio.
What are message and data rates?
Usually 10p
What doesit mean when the tex message says ok...?
A text message that says 'OK' is usually a reply to a message you have previously sent.
Does Transmit mean to send a message?
It can meen to send a message however usually means to transfer something.
What is output design and output design in system design?
The output design during system design usually communicates all the important milestones and problems that arise during system testing. Output design proposes to the system; some remedies to various possibilities. For example, a system can print any error message that occurs and report it to an administrator.
