Answer:

It is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is the part of the diencephalon. As a part of the endocrine system, it releases releasing and inhibiting hormones to regulate the release of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland. Example:  thyrotropin-releasing hormone from hypothalamus makes the anterior pituitary to release thyrotropin hormone.

However, to maintain homeostasis, the hypothalamus also regulates the hormone secretion from the pituitary gland through nervous control. Therefore, hypothalamus serves as a link between the nervous and endocrine system.

The hypothalamus is not the master gland rather "it is a connection point between the nervous and endocrine systems." Where the hypothalamus controls the basic impulses and drives of human action.

What happens in the postsynaptic neuron when excitatory neurotransmitters bind to receptors?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

it causes the depolarization of the target cell

Explanation:

Glutamate is an excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter that binds to specific receptors on the surface of target cells and thus causes its depolarization. During glutamate-mediated depolarization, the difference in charge inside and outside the cell is lost due to the entry of sodium and calcium positive ions into the postsynaptic cell (neuron) through specific ion channels. Moreover, glutamate binding also leads to the exit of potassium ions from the cell, thereby resulting in excitation. Through this mechanism, glutamate regulates many signaling pathways, such as those involved in memory, learning, emotions, cognition, motor control, etc.

Nuclei with a higher than desired neutron-to-proton ratios tend to undergo which type of decay?
alexira [117]
Hey there!

Nuclei with a high neutron-to-proton ratio usually undergo a beta emission.

Beta emissions, unlike some other types, is radioactive decay throughout these particles, and can have half lives like other types of exponential (usually) decay. Neutrino, along with <em>beta rays,</em> are coming from, or emitted from the nucleus - hence the name.

Hope this helps!
