Mephedrone molecular structure Nephyrone molecular structure There are several structural differences between the three chemical substances that make adrenalin distinguishable from both Mephedrone and Nephyrone. The adrenalin molecular structure has a more stable structure more than both Mephedrone and Nephyrone.

Blood Pressure, Hypertension and the Nervous System

Cardiovascular activities within the human body are generally facilitated by the regulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic afferent and efferent nerve fibers. Blood pressure is the relationship between the vascular resistance and the amount of blood that the heart pumps per minute (i.e. cardiac output). Cardiac output is affected by the following factors: end-diastolic volume, cardiac muscle contraction, and heart rate. While the sympathetic nervous system controls the blood volume and the tone of venous smooth muscle (determinants of end-diastolic volume) alone, the myocardial contraction and heart rate is controlled by both sympathetic and parasympathetic regions of the autonomic ...

An investigation into the cholinergic receptor control of gastric muscle activity through the action of neurotransmitters

Introduction Different types of neurotransmitters have different effects on the activity of the smooth muscle. Neurotransmitters exert their effects on smooth muscle through binding to different types of neurotransmitter receptors present in smooth muscles. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles in the body that do not have the ability of controlling their own movements. Smooth muscles are unstriated because they lack the visible cross striations available in other types of muscles like the skeletal muscles (KCUMB, 2012). Smooth muscles are small in diameter 2-10mm. The muscle fibers that make the single unit muscle are complied together into sheets. ...

Hans Selye (1907-1982) a famous endocrinologist and scientist introduced the general adaptation model (GAS) that describes phases that state the impact of stress on individuals.

Alarm Stage

According to Selye, there is a general stimulation of the nervous system in the initial phase reaction. Here, the sympathetic nervous functioning is hindered resulting in hypothermia, hypotension and reduction in muscle tone. Moreover, he cites other manifestations that include hypoglycemia, hemoconcentration, and hypochlororemia. Furthermore, ...
