Question

NB 353 Pharmacology-Focused worksheet #2 Chapter 12 You are an experienced nurse working with a nursing student in the clinical area. The student is havin trouble understanding neuropharmacology. The student asks you the following questions: 1. "Can you explain the steps of synaptic transmission?" What is your best response? 2. "What effects and pathophysiology should I study for the neurologic system?" 3. "How do beta cells respond when activated?"

Answer 1

1)The communication between the neurons are called as synaptic transmission.

The steps in this are as following

1. The neurotransmitter are are synthesized (produced) and stored in the vesicles till an action potential arrives
2. The neurotransmitter are released into the synaptic cleft from the terminal
3. The selective receptors on post synaptic receptors recognised the neurotransmitter
4. Then inactivation of neurotransmitter frees up the receptor surprise so that additional neurotransmitter molecules can be received

2)The neurological system also called as central nervous system consists if brain and spinal cord.When an injury ,insult, or infection occurs in the brain it leads to decrease or loss of motor or cognitive function. Its effects are it causes symptoms on muscular system and the soft tissues first .This is followed by affecting the organ systems symptomatically.

3) The cells that produce insulin are called beta cells.When this is activated it leads to production of insulin which is responsible for the deliverance of energy to the body.
