Neural receptor

NN receptors—nicotinic-neural receptors (found in parasympathetic gan-glia)... 

The lower the pH, the slower is gastric emptying. Secretin presumably modulates this effect since acid in the duodenum is the prime stimulus for its release, and it has been shown to delay gastric emptying. In addition, neural receptors that respond to acid are present in the duodenum. 

An appreciable body of evidence has accumulated to indicate that ozone has extrapulmonary effects. Although some of the reported effects may be secondary to the reaction of ozone with intrapulmonary neural receptors or to release of humoral substances from the lung, other finding appear to be mote directly related to an oxidizing effect of ozone. The biochemical basis for the latter is unclear, particularly because the reactivity of ozone and its short-lived intermediates would make it unlikely for them to penetrate the pulmonary parenchyma. Earlier studies on the subject of extrapulmonary effects have been reviewed by Stokinger. ... 

Several neural receptors have been isolated recently within the epidermis of humans and mice. Many of these receptors, such as vanilloid receptor 1, are associated with ion dynamics in the peripheral nervous system.38 Since skin barrier function is also predicated on ion gradient stability,15,39 these receptors might be inducing transmission of itch related to barrier impairment. 

Exploration of intramolecular non-local effects could be the beginning of more far-reaching studies. Neural receptors with the ability to exchange information via the quantum-potential field in the vacuum interface, could be another level of quantum object that might eventually explain para-psychic phenomena.

A substance that occupies a neural receptor and causes some change in the conductance of the neuron. 

An accumulation of incident stimuli at the neural receptor (majority of trigeminal nerve endings lie somewhat below the surface of the epithelium, so the stimuli may reach the receptors by diffusion the olfactory receptors are only separated from the atmosphere by a thin layer of mucous). 

The history of hashish dates back to at least 2000 BC and is associated with a considerable folk-lore. The word "assassin" derives from the Arabic for "hashish-eater" and the introduction of hashish to Europe by Marco Polo initiated investigations that have culminated in the identification of a specific neural receptor for the active constituent cannabinoids of marijuana and in the isolation of an endogenous ligand, anandamide, for this receptor (12). ... 

However, decreased sensitivity of noncholinergic neural receptors has been implicated as a major factor in the resistance of the tobacco budworm to pyrethroids (32,26) and quite likely was involved in earlier incidents of organochlorine insecticide resistance. 

Damaging mechanisms. They strongly irritate the neural receptors of the eye mucosa tropical nerve thus by reflex provoke a strong tear-provoking effect and contraction of the eyelids. In a lesser degree, they provoke excitement effect on the nose and the upper respiratory tract mucosa and the skin.

There are two classes of neural receptors for binding of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Of primary interest to this study is the GABA receptor which populates both... 

Cognition is very important to emotion, in that emotions are usually triggered by some stimulus event. This event may be sensed from environmental clues, by surface receptors in single-celled organisms, and by neural receptors in more complex animals. 

BTPS Body temperature (37°C) and standard pressure (1 atm), saturated (6.28 kN/m ). Chemoreceptors Neural receptors sensitive to chemicals such as gas partial pressures. 

Mechanoreceptors Neural receptors sensitive to mechanical inputs such as stretch, pressure, irritants,... 

Activation of PTBRs in the brain in liver failure results in increased synthesis of a novel class of compounds known as neurosteroids that are synthesized in the brain mainly by astrocytes independent of peripheral steroidal sources (adrenals and gonads). Neurosteroids bind and modulate different types of neural receptors effects on the GABA-A receptor complex are the most extensively studied. For example, the neurosteroid tetrahydroprogesterone (allopregnanolone), and tetrahydrodeoxy-corticosterone (THDOC) are potent positive allosteric modulators of the GABA-A receptor complex (Fig. 9.7). As a consequence, neurosteroids stimulate inhibitory neurotransmission in the CNS, and it has been suggested that neuroinhibitory... 

We begin by describing the mechanisms of how muscles work as a part of a prosthesis in the context of a robotic artificial hand. The same issue can be extended to other prostheses that have been brought up by many different researchers in the field. The nervous system has specific sensory systems, one of which is the feeling of touch, which is a perception that naturally results from activation of neural receptors on the skin. Receptors detect stimulus, converting into information and directing to the central nervous system by afferent neurons.
