Explain how information flows from neuron to neuron

explain how information flows from neuron to neuron, listing the major neurotransmitters and their effects. compare and contrast information transmission in the nervous system with the regulation that takes place in the endocrine system and why it is important.

 

Assuming that lordosis behavior is influenced by estrogen activation in females

Assuming that lordosis behavior is influenced by estrogen activation in females (it is!), a) provide a concept model / box and arrow diagram that demonstrates the mechanisms by which estrogen ‘activates’ this behavior in the non food—restricted females. [If you prefer — you may also present the logical organization for this in paragraph format -though this may be more difficult). (12. points) b) Clearly indicate (or state in sentence form) how or what about the model would change in the food restricted female

During embryonic development, neurons may acquire their characteristic excitabilitjes

During embryonic development, neurons may acquire their characteristic excitabilitjes over some period of time. Different types of channels may appear at different times as the neurons approach maturity. The data below were collected for some large spinal cord neurons in the frog, Xenopus, at different times after development began. For each stage described below, list what types of channels must be present to account for the data given for each stage a. Stage 18 (19 hrs after fertilization): Resting potentials were around —80mV, but no action potentials could be elicited b. Stage 20 (22 hrs after fertilization): Depolarizing pulses applied to the neurons produced prolonged (up to 1100msec!) action potentials, followed by an after hyperpolarization. Removing external Na+ or external (31′ has no effect on this response. TTX also has no effect. The peak of the action potential varied according to the Nernst equation for Ca+2 and could be blocked by the divalent cation Co? TEA substantially prolonged the response and reduced the after hyperpolarization

The role of type interferons in combating infectious agents

Scientists have generated type receptor knock-out mice to understand the role of type interferons in combating infectious agents. One group of knock-out mice was challenged with a virus, while another group of mice with Streptococcus pneumoniae. The mice that were exposed to bacteria were able to quickly recover from the Infection, while the mice that were exposed to the influenza virus suffered from severe symptoms. Based on these observations, which processes are defective the type receptor knock-out mice that are essential for combating viral infection, and why?
