NERVOUS TISSUE HISTOLOGY
Histology of nervous tissue involves studying the microscopic structure of neurons and supporting cells, like glia. Neurons are the functional units, while glia provide support and protection. Stains are used to highlight specific features like cell bodies, axons, and dendrites.…
THE IMPACT OF DRUGS ACTING ON THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Autonomic Nervous System Overview The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a division of the peripheral nervous system that controls and regulates involuntary bodily functions, maintaining homeostasis and responding to internal and external stimuli. It acts largely unconsciously and automatically, regulating…
PHARMACOLOGY OF AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Autonomic Cholinergic and Adrenergic pathways These pathways differ in terms of their neurotransmitters, receptor subtypes, neurotransmitter synthesis, storage, release, and the specific drugs that target each pathway. Cholinergic Pathway: Neurotransmitter: The cholinergic pathway primarily uses acetylcholine (ACh) as its neurotransmitter.…
EXPLORING THE LATEST RESEARCH ON THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Introduction CNS stands for Central Nervous System. It is the part of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain is the control center of the body and is responsible for processing information from the…
