A neurotransmitter whose function depends on a second messenger is known as?
A neurotransmitter whose function depends on a second messenger is known as a neuromodulator. Neuromodulators can influence the behavior of neurons by affecting processes like signal transduction or synaptic transmission.
The sympathetic nervous system releases the neurotransmitter?
Norepinephrine (otherwise known as Noradrenaline). Acetylcholine IS NOT the right answer.
Norepinephrine dopamine and epinephrine belong to a group of neurotransmitters known as?
catecholamines
What is the difference between epinepherin and norepinepherin?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two very structurally similar molecules. They've both involved in the sympathetic part of your autonomic nervous system. Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone which is secreted from the adrenal medulla when activated by the sympathetic nervous system (during times of stress). Norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) is a neurotransmitter that is released by neurons in the sympathetic nervous system. Epinephrine and norepinephrine generally produce the same effects as they both interact with adrenergic receptors in the body. Epinephrine is structurally different from norepinephrine as epinephrine has a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the nitrogen atom (making it a secondary amine), whereas norepinephrine is just a primary amine.

Which is a mechanism for norepinephrine destruction?
Norepinephrine is primarily broken down by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in the liver and other tissues. MAO oxidizes norepinephrine into its metabolite, dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG), while COMT methylates norepinephrine into normetanephrine.

Which Greek god was known as the messenger?
Hermes was the Greek god known as the messenger.
Why is it necessary for DNA to make a messenger?
There are a few reasons. Primarily DNA is found in the nucleus, whereas the translation process is carried out by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Therefore it is necessary to have some kind of messenger that allows for the DNA code to be translated into proteins. This messenger is known as messenger RNA (mRNA).
What is the difference between zoloft and Cymbalta?
Cymbalta is an antidepressant that is in the class of serotonin and norepinephrine inhibitor. Wellbutrin is also an antidepressant, but in the class of dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors.
What kind of antidepressant is Effexor?
Effexor (venlafaxine) is an SNRI or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
Who is known as the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology?
Hermes is known as the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology.
Norepinephrine dopamine and epinephrine belong to a group of neurotransmitters known as?
catecholamines
What is Hermes known for?
Hermes is well known for being the messenger god he is as well known for time travel and shepards Hermes has invented as well but he is mostly known for being the messenger god.
What hormones respond to stress?
The adrenal hormones epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine.
