Think of a definable action you perform in your daily life that requires more than one direction to complete the task. An example would be swinging and releasing a bowling ball (do not use this example).

a) Identify the primary joints involved.

b) Separate the action into at least 5 steps/stages (the direction of movement could be useful to categorize the steps).

c) Within each step/stage, identify the muscles that contribute to the respective motion at each joint.

I have to write about dopamine

- I should talk about its synthesis- (physiologic mechanisms and drugs or foods affecting them);

- storage in vesicles (physiology-like the name of the pump for storage and drugs, toxins or foods that interferes with it);

-its release-physiology and drugs or toxins that interfere;

-the termination of effect in the synapse (physiology-like enzymatic breakage or re-uptake

-about the drugs that affect the process -and its receptors of these neurotransmitters and drugs acting on these receptors -

refer them as agonists and antagonists for relevant receptors).

I still have 4 more, I will post the questions individually

no need for figures if everything I asked for is explained.
