Neurotransmission - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Histamine: Synthesis, Release, and Effects in the Body

Histamine, a potent chemical mediator, is synthesized and stored in various cells like mast cells and basophils. It is involved in allergic reactions, immune responses, and neurotransmission in the central and autonomic nervous systems. This substance is released in response to stimuli like tissue i

Understanding Adrenergic Transmission and Catecholamine Synthesis

Adrenergic transmission involves the release of neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, dopamine, and epinephrine at synapses or neuroeffector junctions. These neurotransmitters, known as catecholamines, play crucial roles in transmitting impulses in the sympathetic nervous system and central nerv

Understanding Cholinergic Neurons and Agonists in Pharmacology

Cholinergic neurons play a vital role in neurotransmission by utilizing acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurotransmitter. This neurotransmission involves steps like synthesis, storage in vesicles, release, receptor binding, degradation, and recycling of choline and acetate. Choline acetyltransferase cataly
