What else can I help you with?
Which structure is like a locked door that only certain neurotransmitter key can unlock?
Since only 1 neurotransmitter fits in the receptor sites, you can say that the receptor sites is the locked door waiting for the neurotransmitter "keys".
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.
Which neurotransmitter inhibits pain transmission?
SEROTONIN is a neurotransmitter that inhibits pain by blocking pain causing chemicals out of their receptor sites
What mimic or enhance the effects of a neurotransmitter on the receptor sites of the next cell increasing or decreasing the activity of that cell?
agonists Chemical substances that mimic or enhance the effects of a neurotransmitter on the receptor sites of the next cell, increasing or decreasing the activity of that cell. Drug that enhances the effects of a particular neurotransmitter.
Are serotonin receptors the only binding sites for LSD?
No, LSD binds to other receptor sites besides those for serotonin, including dopamine and adrenergic receptors. Compared to compounds such as psilocybin, it is less selective for the 5-HT2A receptor.
When ADH binds to receptor sites on distal tubule cells?
When ADH binds to receptor sites on distal tubule cells in the kidneys, it increases the water permeability of the tubules, allowing them to reabsorb more water from the urine. As a result, less water is excreted, leading to concentrated urine production and helping to regulate the body's water balance.
Neurotransmitters find their way to and subsequently trigger firing of that neuron?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
Why is caffeine considered a drug?
It binds to specific neurotransmitter sites, and exerts a physiologic effect. In the case of caffeine, it is potentially dependence producing, if utilized on a regular basis in sufficient quantities.
Can agonists or antagonists that mimic neurotransmitters be mistakenly stored in terminal buttons during reuptake?
Some neurotransmitter molecules have a molecular structure that precisely fits the receptor site on the receiving neuron, much as a key fits a lock. When the agonist molecule excites, it is similar enough in structure to the neurotransmitter molecule that it mimics its effects on the receiving neuron. Morphine, for instance, mimics the action of endorphins by stimulating receptors in brain areas involved in mood and pain sensations. This antagonist molecule inhibits. It has a structure similar enough to the neurotransmitter to occupy its receptor site and block its action, but not similar enough to stimulate the receptor.
Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as dopamine?
Opiate drugs typically bind to opioid receptors rather than dopamine receptors. Opioids act on the brain and nervous system to produce pain relief and feelings of pleasure, whereas dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in reward and pleasure pathways in the brain.
What receptor sites does opiates lock into?
endorphins
Neurotransmitters are released in a synapse and bind to?
a receptor structure in a ligand-gated sodium-ion pore. The receptor is like a cave which is an outer part of a protein structure which also has a tunnel which can be open or closed, and the presence of the neurotransmitter causes the tunnel (pore) to open.
