INTRODUCTION Give a brief description in your own words of the objectives and aims of this practical. The aim of this practical was to understand how the autonomic nervous system has an effect In the ileum. Through this‚ we can delve deeper by understanding how nerves‚ through the actions Of various neurotransmitters affect the motility of the gastrointesital tract. Furthermore‚ we can investigate The effects of drugs‚ and their uses in replicating effects of autonomic neurotransmitters

Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disease that targets the neuromuscular junctions causing leading problems for the muscular system. This disease is long term with no cure but doctors are able to regulate this disease with controlled medicine.This disease results from antibodies that block or destroy receptors at the junction between the nerve and muscle.In rare cases‚ children are born with this disease also known as congenital myasthenia syndrome.The most commonly affected muscles are in the face

Complete the chart of participants of the sliding filament theory: Number the statements in the proper sequence to describe excitation-contraction coupling. Step 1 has been numbered for you. ___1____ 1. Acetylcholine is released by the axon terminal‚ diffuses to the muscle cell and attaches To ACh receptors on the sarcolemma. ________ 2. The action potential‚ carried into the cell via the T-tubules‚ causes the SR to release Calcium ions. ________ 3. Ach-E breaks down

prolonged stimulation at 100 Hz. After addition of d-tubocurarine and the stimulation of the muscle and nerve‚ full muscle response was seen‚ but no nerve response was observed because d-tubocurarine blocks the signal pathway by competing with acetylcholine for its nicotinic receptor binding sites. Human muscle had higher threshold voltage than the frog muscle because humans have larger body mass and thus higher muscle mass. However‚ tetanus and summation of human muscle occur at same frequency as

Introduction to Pharmacology Chapter 1 – Pharmacology intro Pharmacology is the study of drugs. A drug can be any substance that‚ when administered to living organisms‚ produces a change in function. Thus‚ substances such as water‚ metals (iron)‚ or insecticides can be classified as drugs. However‚ the term drug commonly means any medication that is used for diagnosing‚ curing‚ or treating disease Every drug produces its intended effect‚ or therapeutic effect‚ along with other effects. The therapeutic

Basically a signal goes along the axon terminal from the motor neuron at the spinal cord to the muscle fiber which will then be terminated at the NMJ. At the NMJ a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (ACh) is difused along the the synaptic cleft and binds to ACh receptors along the motor end-plate of the sarcolemma. Once ACh is binded‚ a chanel within the ACh receptor opens and (+) ions (Ca++) can pass into the muscle fiber which depolarizes
