uptake inhibitors

Well, the Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibitory neurotransmitter acts through a negative feedback system to block the transmission of a signal from one cell to another. It is important for balancing the excitation in the brain. Benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety drugs, e.g. Lexapro, Valium.) work on the GABA receptors of the brain, inducing a state of relaxation. Hope this helped.

Which example involves a cell membrane receiving?

An example of a cell membrane receiving signals is the process of neurotransmitter binding at a synapse. When a neurotransmitter is released from a neuron, it crosses the synaptic cleft and binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic cell's membrane. This binding triggers a response within the cell, such as opening ion channels, which can initiate an action potential or other cellular responses. This process is crucial for communication between neurons and the functioning of the nervous system.


Why is it important for the neurotransmitter substance to be deactivated soon after its release?

It is important for the neurotransmitter to be deactivated soon after its release to prevent continuous stimulation of the receiving cell, which could lead to overexcitation or desensitization. Deactivation helps regulate the signaling process and maintain proper communication between neurons in the brain.

What is the functions of neurotransmitter?

The neurotransmitters are stored in tiny sac-like structures called vesicles at the end of axons. When an impulse, or nerve signal, reaches the end of the axon, the vesicles release a neurotransmitter into the small space between the adjoining cells (synaptic gap). Neurotransmitters diffuse across the synapse and bind to receptors in the receiving cell that are specific for the neurotransmitter.

What is the difference between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons?

Presynaptic neurons release the neurotransmitter in response to an action potential. Postsynaptic neurons receive the neurotransmitter (and can however become presynaptic to the next nerve cell, if the neurotransmitter has stimulated the cell enough).


Into what does the neuron release its neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction?

The neuron releases its neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft at the neuromuscular junction, which is the gap between the neuron terminal and the muscle cell. This neurotransmitter then binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, triggering muscle contraction.

Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?

A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.
