Chapter 23.3, Problem 23.3QC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The order in which nerve transmission occurs is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Neurons are one-meter-long nerve cells that receive, conduct and transmit signals. In the nervous system, long-distance signaling is made possible by the nerve impulse (action potential). In the axoplasm region of the neuron,

Elevated levels of 5-HT within the synapse are associated with feelings of well-being; conversely, low levels of 5-HT are correlated with depressive symptoms. Recent studies have shown that SSRIs can also mediate their antidepressant effects by increasing brain levels of certain cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFNY). IFNY directly induces the expression of the protein p11 in neighboring neurons, which then interacts with 5-HTR4, a 5-HT transmembrane receptor. Figures 1 and 2 provide information about this interaction. 5-HTR4 protein expression (% of WT) CAMP levels (% change control) from MEM TOT Figure 1 5-HTR4 protein expression in plasma membrane-enriched fraction (MEM) of hippocampal lysate and in total hippocampal lysate (TOT) from p11…arrow_forwardWhat is a correct statement regarding the preferred metabolism of a drug?
