Agonist

Johan Cuevas Yasmine Ouchikh PSY 10200 February 25, 2016 1. The drug that Harry abuses is a hallucinogens. Hallucinogens are drugs that alter the person's consciousness and arouse the senses in different ways. They can create hallucinations and make the person taking the drug very hungry. One effect of a hallucinogen is that it can increase the way the person perceive sounds, making music sound better than how it did before the “high”. Harry is not abusing a depressant because a depressant…

contained in population 1 (P1) area are all of the same size as that of the resting platelets and they are assumed not to be activated. Whereas, the platelets in population 2 (P2) area tend to be bigger. It is assumed that they are activated. As more agonists are added, the percentage of larger platelets increases. Such is likely to arise because as the platelets grow bigger, the more they scatter forward and sideways. In a graph showing change in size, it is possible for flow cytometer to…

approach. They are reciprocal innervation, an early mobility pattern that serve as a protective mechanism. It is a quick motion that requires contraction of the agonist muscles and relaxes the antagonistic muscles. The second component is co-contraction (co-innervation) provides stability to the body by simultaneous contraction of the agonist and antagonist muscles. It is considered to be a tonic (static) pattern. The third component is heavy work, which is the proximal muscles contract and…

The disease of the lungs, COPD, can be traced back to the 1600’s. It was the year 1679 when Swizz physician, Bonet, defined the disease as “voluminous lungs.” About a century later Italian anatomist, Giovanni Morgagni, termed cases of the lungs as “turgid.” A series of illustrations of the emphysematous lung putting forth the pathology of the disease was published by Baillie in 1789, thus emphysema was known to be a part of COPD early one (Mandal 2013). Over the years, Chronic Bronchitis became…

Calcium is the richest mineral in our body holding many functions during the human development. Ca2+ controls many cellular processes such as: metabolism, gene transcription, fertilisation, proliferation, hypertrophy, secretion, exocytosis, cardiac ventricular mechanisms, neuronal dopaminergic pacemaker mechanisms, contraction, coordination and thinking, (Rubin, 2016). These processes can occur anywhere between a few microseconds to hours to complete. The basal Ca2+ concentration of…

hypnosis is the changes in perception or behavior due to changes in the state of consciousness, hypnosis is like having a daydreaming, you are conscious but you tune out most of the distracting stimuli around you. OPERANT CONDITIONING: If i reached my goal and become a top executives someday i would give bonuses to my staff that works under me so they would perform better but if they didn't finish their work before the deadline they won't get a bonus. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING: my coworker said…

Gabriela Medina Psychology 2301 Chapter 2 This is an important chapter with a lot of vital information about the nervous system, the neurons, the brain, the endocrine system, and genetics and behavior. The nervous system helps the body carry vital information from and to the brain. The brain can adapt to certain environments and can change depending on the environment that you are in and your way of thinking. It can spread information with the help of neurons, who pass…

Co-activation is seen in this experiment where the bicep, the flexor, resembles the agonist and the triceps, the extensors, resemble the antagonist. When the bicep muscle is active by being in its flexed position; its motor neurons are excited whereas the motor neurons in opposition of the triceps are somewhat inhibited. However, these triceps…

Research supports the hypothesis that α-7 nAChR agonists improve LTP and the formation of long-term memory in animal models due to the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway, with phosphorylation of ERK and CREB. α-7 nAChR agonists also improved learning and memory task performance in mice. With the intention of reducing cognitive impairments and improving memory in those afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, Marquadraezon will be a partial agonist at the α-7 nACh receptor. This receptor has…

This report investigates muscle energy techniques (MET) and its respective structural components. It highlights biomechanical mechanisms and physiological effects in relation to MET stretching. To further explore the subject, relevant studies are presented and reflected upon, contributing with a final overview on the subject as a whole. MET biomechanical and physiological mechanisms Muscle energy techniques most significant body structural components include Golgi tendon organs (GTOs) and…
