Introduction Drenches is a liquid formulation for oral administration that is used to kill internal and external parasites especially in sheep. It is used in the worm control on any farms. Drenches is also known as anthelmintics as they contain active ingredients that kill the helminths in the stomach. Basically, there are three major types of drenches which are the suspensions, solutions and emulsions. (P.Junquera, 2015) Drenches can be a “broad spectrum” when they treat an extensive range of…

kills neurons. Drugs for Alzheimer’s support the communication process of neurons by helping maintain the synapse and also tries to keep neurons from dying. Cholinesterase inhibitors slow down the process that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine are cholinesterase inhibitors. Memantine works differently and is called an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist. This regulates the activity of glutamate which is an important neurotransmitter in…

Antidepressant drugs can be described for non-motor symptoms such as depression. Another drug that affects neurotransmitters in the body to ease some symptoms is anticholinergic drugs. Anticholinergic drugs decrease the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which can be effective for…

Psychology Research Report- Rough Draft Rachel Walker Rasmussen College This paper is being submitted on August 31, 2014 for Carol Knight’s G148/PSY1012 Section 01 General Psychology Course. Psychology Research Report- Rough Draft When one imagines a descent into madness, they often think of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder characterized by disturbances in perception, language, thoughts, emotions, and behavior. The term “schizophrenia” was coined in 1908 by Professor…

Cognition is defined as a group of higher order brain functions which includes language, emotion, memory, and consciousness. (Purves, 2012) Aside from leading to severe immunodeficiency (AIDS), the HIV-1 lentivirus can also lead to a spectrum of emotional and behavioral disturbances collectively known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). While antiretroviral therapy, such as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), has managed to increase the life expectancy of infected…

collapse the neuron’s transport system. These brain changes lead to a loss or degeneration of neurons and synapses, especially within the neocortex and hippocampus. Reduction in serotonin receptors, serotonin uptake into platelets, production of acetylcholine in the areas of the brain in which plaques and tangles are found, acetylcholinesterase, and choline acetyl-transferase are also changes in neurotransmitter systems associated with Alzheimer’s…

The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP…

rate The heart is controlled by two branches of the autonomic nervous system. • The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) • The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) The SNS releases hormones to accelerate the heart rate. The PNS releases the hormones acetylcholine to slow the heart rate. What can temporarily affect the acceleration of your heart? - stress - excitement - caffeine Things such as meditating or taking deep breaths may help to slow down your heart rate. Exercising will increase your…
