Biology

The correct answer is: d. membrane thickness

Cholesterol is the second major lipid in the structure of the cell membrane (phospholipids are the major lipid components).

Cholesterol is rigid, so it gives the cell membrane extra support (strength and hardness) by immobilizing some of the lipid molecules around them. This rigidity makes it harder for small molecules to pass through the membrane, so it also has the influence on cell membrane’s permeability (the membrane becomes effective barrier to ions).

Cell membrane’s fluidity is also under the influence of the cholesterol which helps generate some extra space between the lipids allowing them to move freely throughout the membrane.

enkephalin-induced depression of single neurons in brain areas with opiate receptors—antagonism by naloxone
kicyunya [14]

Induced depression of single neurons in brain areas with opiate receptors

  • Enkephalin, applied microiontophoretically, depressed spontaneous and glutamate-induced firing of  one neuron in frontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and periaqueductal gray matter, where enkephalin and high concentrations of opiate receptors are met.
  • More than one depressions were blocked by the specific narcotic antagonist naloxone. The results  are durable with a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator role for this new brain pentapeptide.
  • Opium derivatives have been in medical use for the last  2000 years, and may be   longer than any other class of drugs
  • . The brain regions which was  involved in these actions have been identified in some instances by local microinjection of pmole quantities of opioids.
