The most likely cause of the burning sensation is acid reflux which travels back up the esophagus and irritates the esophageal lining. The chest pain felt can feel almost like a heart attack but it is best described as referred pain from the esophagus.
Should this heartburn persist, it is highly recommended to see a physician because the acid can erode the esophagus lining & the abdominal lining leading to ulcers. Easily treatable condition.

From a personal level this is awful!

What kind of channels are located in the input region?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B ( ligand gated channels opened by neurotransmitter molecules).

Explanation:

Input region or postsynaptic region or dendrite is the site of neuron cell which receives the impulse from the pre-synaptic neuron at the synaptic junction.

The cell membrane of the dendrite is embedded with ligand-gated channels which opens up in response to the ligand (neurotransmitters) produced by the neurotransmitter vesicle of axon or output region of neuron.

The neuromuscular junction is such a case where acetylcholine receptors present in the dendrite opens in the presence of acetylcholine.

Thus, option B ( ligand-gated channels opened by neurotransmitter molecules) is the correct option.
