Answer: Extracellular [Ca2+]
Explanation:
The sensitivity and density of the alpha receptors serve to <em>enhance the response to the release of</em> <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> . However, they do not exert a strong influence as the concentration of calcium ions on the amount of <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> released by sympathic nerve terminals.
The release of neurotransmitters depends more on either an external or internal stimulus.This results in an action potential which on reaching a nerve terminal, results in the opening of Ca²⁺ channels in the neuronal membrane. Because the extracellular concentration of Ca²⁺ is greater than the intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration, Ca²⁺ flows into the nerve terminal. This triggers a series of events that cause the vesicles containing <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> to fuse with the plasma membrane and release <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> into the synapse. The higher the action potential, the higher the Ca²⁺ flow into the terminals resulting in higher amount of <em>norepinephrine (NE)</em> into the synapse, and vice versa.
Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. It serves a regulatory purpose to lower the concentration of norepinephrine upon its release from nerve terminals.
Answer:
When the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, the atom is ionized and then they are no longer atoms, they are known as ion(s).
Glucose is blood sugar and is the main source for metabolism. Galactose is half of "milk sugar" (aka lactose). Fructose is "fruit sugar." it is true that all of these are 6- carbon sugars, but its how they are rearranged. "Shape determines function."
The answer to fill in the blank would be B) because say for ex you are sick and your mom checks your temperature, she is doing this to see how hot/cold are you, so she is checking your body to see how you are, so same with this, temperature basically measures the kinetic energy/motion of particles in something.
