Summary Introduction

To describe: Mechanism involved in the action of antidepressant medication (molecules).

Introduction: Antidepressant molecules are used to reduce stress and alleviate mood. The exact mechanism of action is not known, but their action at the chemical synapse is well known. Synapse helps in the conduction of electrical impulse by the presence of neurotransmitters.

Description Complete one of the following traces. Your goal is to outline all the structures an action potential travels from receptor to final effector to complete a motor response. Choose one: 1) Trace the sensation from one arm that leads you to moving your other arm to scratch an itch. You must include all structures the action potential will travel through, including locations of the cell bodies and axons of all neurons involved. Do not trace the signal to your brain. Answer should be in the form of: --> Structure 1 --> Structure 2 --> --> --> Receptor --> --> --> --> Structure x --> Effector Your answer should be either typed or written out in a document form to be uploaded. You may also choose to diagram this trace if you wish. Submit Assignment Dashboard Calendar To Do Notifications Inbox 因
