Legendary musician Bob Marley once said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” Bob Marley believed that smoking marijuana opened up a spiritual gateway leading him to become one of the greatest musicians and poets to live. A lot of people other than Bob believe that marijuana can be the answer to a lot of the world's problems. Many cannabis users today argue for the legalization of medicinal and recreational use of marijuana. Marijuana is shown to help with many…
anti-bacterial. Terpinolene has sedative effects. Outside the body it has shown to be a repellant of mosquitoes and weevils. Linaool Also found in lavender. Relieves anxiety and stress. Is a strong anticonvulsant and is said to amplify serotonin receptor transmission. Linaool has antidepressant effects and is effective topically to heal tissue and reduce scarring. Phytol Phytol is unique from other terpenes, offering other medical options. Phytol is the byproduct of decomposed chlorophyll.…
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…
researchers were interested in determining whether sex differences exist for the cannabinoid modulation of appetite, body temperature, and neurotransmission at POMC synapses. The drugs that were used in this experiment were a 1 mg/kg s.c. agonist CB1 receptor WIN 55,212-2, a 3 mg/kg s.c. antagonist AM251, and a 1 ml/kg s.c. vehicle. This study had two parts to it with one focusing on the behavioral aspects of the animals and the other on the biological aspects. Behavioral…
1ml per sample. The samples were incubated at 4⁰C overnight. The following day, the samples were washed with DPBS at 4⁰C and then washed with 2ml 1 perm buffer twice. Anti-mouse Foxp3- PE Ab was added in a 1:100 dilution for 30 mins at 4⁰C. The samples were washed with perm buffer and resuspend in DPBS for flow cytometry analysis.

Did you know that whenever you smell something, it triggers your senses, and the brain? There are five senses, and one is smell. The brain is a important organ in our body, it tells our body what to do, and what to not do. The person who studied the senses was Linda B. Buck, and the people who studied the brain was the Egyptians. Your senses let you know what is going on around you. The brain is the control center of the body. All information we have about prehistoric cultures comes from…
of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) early on in the progression of the disease (Okada et…
1. A perception is when sensory impulses are interpreted in the brain, such as touching a hot stove. A sensation is when the brain becomes aware of a stimulus, such as pain. 2. Pain receptors are excited by any type of tissue damage. 3. Referred pain is a phenomenon when you feel pain in an area other than where the pain originates from. 4. The thalamus and cerebral cortex are the parts on the brain that interpret pain impulses. The thalamus establishes the awareness of pain, and the…
This essay will provide a focus on the concept of structure in relation to function in biology. The example taken into consideration for the essay is the reintroduction of Gray wolves (Canis lupus), hence predators, into Yellowstone National Park to restore the ecosystem health. Many are the ecological interpretations of wolves’ function when it comes to the Northern Rockies ecosystem as research and scientists have been documenting their overall impact for the last few decades. Firstly, a…
2008). Since then, oils have been used in the UK and Europe for treatment but still has not debuted in the United States as a prescribed form of treatment (Butje, Repede, 2008). Essential oils act on the olfactory system; stimulating olfactory receptors in the nasal epithelium. Stimulation of the olfactory system is shown to immediately lower blood pressure, muscle tension, pupil size, brain activity and sleep (Barcan, 2014) The stimulation from there is then processed to the limbic system and…
