What else can I help you with?
What receptor sites does opiates lock into?
endorphins
What are the molecules that are similar enough to a neurotransmitter to bind to its receptor sites on a dendrite and mimic that neurotransmitter's effects called?
Molecules that are similar enough to a neurotransmitter to bind to its receptor sites on a dendrite and mimic its effects are called agonists. These can be naturally occurring substances or synthetic drugs that activate receptor sites, leading to similar physiological responses as the original neurotransmitter. Examples include morphine, which mimics endorphins, and nicotine, which mimics acetylcholine.
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.
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.
What is an adrenergic receptor?
An adrenergic receptor is any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
Which drug binds to the same receptor sites as the endorphins?
Opioid drugs, such as morphine and oxycodone, bind to the same opioid receptors as endorphins in the brain and spinal cord. This binding leads to pain relief and can also result in feelings of euphoria and relaxation.
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
What are viral receptor sites?
Viral receptor sites are specific locations on the surface of host cells where viruses attach to facilitate entry. These sites typically consist of proteins or glycoproteins that the virus recognizes and binds to, allowing it to penetrate the cell membrane. The interaction between viral proteins and these receptor sites is crucial for the viral infection process, determining the host range and tissue tropism of the virus. Understanding these receptor interactions can aid in the development of antiviral therapies and vaccines.
You could locate receptor sites involved in transmiting a nerve impulse by finding the?
Synapse? Dendrite? Dendritic spine? Or, "You could maybe a better answer to your question get if you re-stated it less confusingly as?" ie, perhaps, "Where are the receptor sites involved in transmitting a nerve impulse LOCATED?"
What are the receptor sites for Leptin and Insulin?
are located in the same areas of the hypothalamus.
