- Botulinum toxin (Botox) works by blocking the exocytosis of acetylcholine. A number of different medical and cosmetic procedures use this chemical. Injection of small quantities of botulinum toxin (Botox) into specific overactive muscles causes muscle relaxation that smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles. Injection into certain spinal ganglia helps reduce a certain form of chronic pain, and injections into the salivary glands causes the reduction of overactive saliva production. What type of toxin is Botox? a. Agonist b. Antagonistarrow_forwardBotulinum toxin (Botox) works by blocking the exocytosis of acetylcholine.

When blood temperature begins to decrease, the hypothalamus releases TRH, which stimulates the release of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone (TH). TH stimulates an increase in body temperature, which causes the hypothalamus to decrease the release of TRH. In this reflex pathway, what is the response? A) Increased body temperature B) Increased release of TH C) Thermoreceptors D) Decreased release of TRHarrow_forward
- The amygdalae are almond shaped structures found near the hippocampus in the brain. The amygdalae are responsible for certain emotions such as fear and can trigger changes in the body in response to these emotions.The amygdalae are regulated by the structure of the brain that controls reasoning and critical thinking.The structure of the brain that regulates the amygdalae and the hormone that is released when the amygdalae sense fear are, respectively: Select one: a. Structure Hormone Parietal lobe Cortisol b. Structure Hormone Frontal lobe Cortisol c. Structure Hormone Frontal lobe Epinephrine d. Structure Hormone Parietal lobe Epinephrinearrow_forwardExplain why reaction times are slower than involuntary reflexes you expect your reaction times to be the same if you tested them later today? Why or why not? Would they differ if you tested them tomorrow morning? List several factors that would contribute to variations in reaction times, both in the same person and among different people.arrow_forwardWhen the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the acetylcholine receptor (a GPCR) on muscle cells, it causes them to contract. ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation. How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?arrow_forward
- Neuropeptide Y (NPY) ____________ appetite. (a) increases, or (b) decrease. I read some papers that look contradictory. One says that NPY decreases latency to eat, increases motivation to eat, and develops satiety by augmenting meal size. While the other paper says that when the NPY receptors are activated, the expression of NPY is down-regulated to decrease appetite and food intake. Glad if the expert advise.arrow_forwardDuring a sympathetic nervous system response to an event, your heart rate increases, indicating the part of the heart responsible for controlling heart rate (the sinoatrial node) is innervated by sympathetic nerves. The SA node is also responsive to epinephrine,a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla. Explain why the onset of the effect of the hormone is so much slower than the onset of the effect from sympathetic nerve stimulation and yet the effect of the hormone lasts much longer than the effect of nerve stimulation.arrow_forwardWhat is the receptor, control center and effector organ for positive feedback as adrenalinearrow_forward
