gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Glycine (Gly)
  1. Is the NT used in the peripheral nervous system? (yes or no)
  1. Is the NT used in the central nervous system? (yes or no)
  1. Is the NT synthesized in the axon terminal, or is it synthesized in the soma and transported to the axon terminal?
  1. From what precursor molecules are the NT synthesized from?
  1. Is the NT stored inside a presynaptic vesicle?
  1. Is the NT released in a calcium-dependent manner?
  1. Are the receptors all ionotropic, are they all metabotropic, or do both types exist?
  1. What are the possible synaptic actions of the receptors?
  1. How is the NT inactivated? (reuptake, enzymatic breakdown, or both). If enzymatic, name the enzyme.

Autonomic nervous system : Is a component of the peripheral nervous system, it regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion. This system works automatically without a person’s conscious effort. Disorders of the autonomic nervous system can affect any body part or process. Autonomic disorders may be reversible or progressive. Apart of the autonomic nervous system there are three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric. Somatic nervous system : Contains both afferent nerves (which send information...
