Neurological Processes Paper Kimberly Balthaser PSY 340 July 12‚ 2010 Dr. Tyra Ripley Abstract In this paper the author will analyze how neuro processes affect behavior and impact the field of biological psychology. The author will also address the role of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials‚ synaptic transmission‚ and receptors in producing and regulatory behavior. Biology is changed by psychology. The development of techniques which allow scientist to monitor

The five hormone’s that play a role in regulation of glucose metabolism are Insulin‚ Glucagon‚ Epinephrine‚ norepinephrine‚ and cortisol. Insulin is located in the pancreas and the action of insulin is remarkable and also not as complex as most people would think. Glucose is taken up by a muscle that is at rest‚ which in turn regulates blood glucose concentration. This process isn’t difficult to understand because it isn’t as many parts to the process. Glucagon also finds itself located in the pancreas

Messengers and Receptors In the second major means of intercellular communication the signal is transmitted by regulatory chemical messengers Receptors are located on receiving cells that can be quite distant from the secreting cell Chemical Signals and Cellular Receptors Cells produce signals‚ in some cases by displaying molecules on their surfaces or by releasing a chemical signal Multicellular

The Bioamine Theory of Depression In this essay a review of the literature in relation to the Bioamine Hypothesis of Depression will be carried out‚ and an explanation made that shows that the bioamine theory is no longer thought of as being a satisfactory explanation of depression. Also in the is essay the Mental Health Nurses role will be looked at and the implications of such a biological theory has on nursing practise. If such a theory were to be true what treatment would someone with depression

When substances like acetylcholine and norepinephrine are released in the body‚ they tend to bind to receptors‚ tissues and neurons. These neurotransmitters transfer signals throughout the nervous system and stimulates action potentials in the postganglionic neurons. Receptors found on the ANS and PNS includes the cholinergic receptors‚ which consists of all sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic‚ sympathetic postganglionic and all parasympathetic postganglionic neurons. The cholinergic receptors

response of stress. The amygdala triggers hypothalamus to bring messages through sympathetic centers in the spinal cord which then get to the middle of the adrenal gland called adrenal medulla‚ and release hormone 2 called adrenalin (epinephrine) and norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) (Lightman‚ S. 2008). Adrenaline and noradrenalin are chemicals that released into the blood stream by nerve endings of the sympathetic nervous system (part of autonomic nervous system) in response to physical
