Olfactory receptor neuron

Albuterol is an adrenergic receptor agonist with pharmacological properties and therapeutic indications similar to terbutaline. The mechanism of the anti-asthmatic action of adrenergic receptor agonists is without a doubt linked to the direct relaxation of airway smooth muscle and the bronchodilator. Although human bronchial smooth muscle receives little or no sympathetic stoppage, it contains large numbers of adrenergic receptors. When the adrenergic receptors activate the adenylyl cyclase…

it is hypothesized that two systems crucial for the communication between brain cells fail due to the down regulation of acetylcholine and the over activation of glutamate, which result in the death of neurons (IOS Press, 2008). It is believed to involve the irreversible loss of cholinergic neurons, specifically in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus (Advokat et al., 2014). The onset of this disease usually occurs after age 60, but is increasingly being reported in people younger than 65…

system and the autonomic nervous system. 2. What are Neurons? Describe the key parts of Neurons, including: Dendrites, Myelin, Axons, and Synapse. To keep it simple, a neuron is a nerve cell. Most neurons are very similar to a typical cell, but have a few structures that set it apart. The main part of the cell is known as the soma, or cell body. In the soma is the nucleus, which contains the genetic material known as chromosomes. A neuron has dendrites, and a…

In 1944, Ralph H.Baer invented the words “video games”, and then created the first console in 1966, launching a billion dollar industry of future games to come. Games began as non-violent competition. Today they have become more and more vehement. The Age of technology has taken over many teenagers’ lives. What began as a fun activity is now an obsession for the video gamer. Although video games are entertaining, teens should not waste their time playing video games because the games will…

Hidden Dangers A list of pros and cons can be assigned to everything, unfortunately, computers and cell-phones, though amazing, are not exempt from this. Cons can refer to many things, but the one biggest downfall that is worth looking into is the unforeseen impact that technology has on the human body. The three main parts of the body that are being affected negatively include the eyes, brain, and neck/back. The latest and greatest technology seems to be what everyone wants to get their hands…

Juvenile Justice The topic of whether or not juveniles who commit murder should be tried as adults and given life sentences has always been controversial. The country is divided in half when it comes to this topic. In the United States, about 2500 individuals are serving life sentences without parole for crimes they committed when they were adolescents. This only involves the states who do allow juveniles to serve life sentences. Sixteen states in the US banned life sentences without…

scenario of the patient and the awareness of his whole person including that of the missing limb. Alleviation of pain in “ghostly appendages” have been recorded in virtual therapies as well; these findings may be attributed to the brain’s reassigning neurons of missing limbs to various differing regions of the body. Perhaps, the extensive research that has been done can be used to reassure and aid those suffering from “ghostly limbs,” that measures can be taken to assist in removing the pain…

The more we use auditory to the visual reading process, the stronger the neural connection will be between neurons. Moreover, the new learned concepts will be more accurate and clear. To recite we can utilize, flashcards which you prepare previously or study in a group, to recite to each other definitions, clue words, or formulas, among other concepts. 7. Visualization…

As they were previously mentioned, they are called neurons. Neurons are cells that receive and impart messages for the body to react (“Brain Basics”). They connect to each other and all parts of the the body. When humans are hungry, have bathroom needs, feel too hot or too cold, nauseous, or are experiencing…

the video showed the problems that two girls named Elizabeth and Holly were facing were due to underdevelopment of the brain. The experts say that a baby is supposed to make many connections while it is still in the womb, but a premature still have neurons that are not connected yet. These unmade connections can make a premature baby extremely vulnerable, but the technological advancements have increased the rate of survival of premature babies. The Intensive Care Unit available at hospitals…
