What chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication?
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication. They help transmit signals across the synapse to target cells, such as other neurons or muscle cells, and are crucial for various physiological processes in the body. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
What different types of cells live in your stomach?
The stomach contains different types of cells, including mucous cells that produce mucus to protect the stomach lining, parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid for digestion, chief cells that secrete pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin for protein digestion, and enteroendocrine cells that produce hormones like gastrin to regulate digestive processes.
By what process are stomach cells formed?
Stomach cells are formed through a process called cell differentiation, where less specialized cells called stem cells in the stomach lining differentiate into mature stomach cells with specific functions, such as mucus-secreting cells, parietal cells, and chief cells. This process is tightly regulated by genetic and environmental factors to ensure proper development and maintenance of the stomach tissue.
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by which of the secretory cells of the stomach?
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach lining. These cells are responsible for producing the acidic environment in the stomach that aids in digestion.
Why don't protease digest stomach and small intestine?
The protease released in the stomach is pepsin. When it is released it's in an inactive form called pepsinogen. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is also released. HCL actives the pepsinogen to pepsin so it can break down protein. Both HCL and pepsinogen are released from different cells in the glands so they don't combine until they are released into the stomach, this prevents them from eating away the stomach wall. ALSO the stomach secretes a coating of mucus from epithelial cells which helps protect the stomach lining from being digested by pepsin and HCL.
Hydrochloric acid is released from cells in?
in the stomach
What type of cells are hormones?
Hormones are not cells but chemicals released by cells to affect changes in other cells.
What is the medical term meaning chemicals released by neurons that stimulate other cells?
Chemicals released by neurons are called neurotransmitters
What substances are produced at the surface of the Endoplasmic Reticulum of a cell?
Pepsin is produced by cells lining the stomach and released into the stomach cavity. Insulin is made by pancreatic cells & released into the bloodstream.
What do chemicals in the stomach do?
the chemicals in the stomach are there to break down the food that enters, there are certain chemicals that stop the acid in the stomach burning the stomach walls and infecting your body.
What are chemicals that act on the neighboring cell called?
Chemicals that act on neighboring cells are called paracrine factors or paracrine substances. These substances are released by cells to communicate with nearby cells and elicit a specific response.
What chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication?
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals released from nerve cells that play an important role in nerve cell communication. They help transmit signals across the synapse to target cells, such as other neurons or muscle cells, and are crucial for various physiological processes in the body. Examples of neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine.
What chemicals are produced and released by neurons that convey information between most nerve cells?
neurotransmitters
What cells are responsible for neutralizing acidity?
The cells responsible for neutralizing acidity in the stomach are the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa, particularly the mucous neck cells and surface mucous cells. These cells secrete mucus and bicarbonate, which help to protect the stomach lining from the corrosive effects of gastric acid. Additionally, pancreatic acinar cells produce bicarbonate, which is released into the small intestine to neutralize stomach acid as chyme enters the duodenum.
Are stomach cells haploid or diploid?
Stomach cells are normal body cells and are therefore diploid.
The attraction of leukocytes to chemicals released from damaged cells is?
called chemotaxis. Chemicals released from damaged cells act as signals that guide leukocytes to the site of injury or infection, helping to initiate the inflammatory response and target the source of damage for immune defense and repair.
Cleans up chemicals released by nerve cells?
AchE Acetylcholinesterase. It cleans up Ach Acetylcholine
