Answer:
Atom: The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of the element and can exist either alone or in combination.
Particle: One of the very small parts of matter (as a molecule, atom, or electron)
Kinetic: Of or relating to the motions of material bodies and the forces and energy associated with them
Explanation:
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.
I think so because I did this before
