Neurotransmitters
Do Web research on one neurotransmitter. What is the function of the neurotransmitter in the body? What type of receptors are involved and what happens when the neurotransmitter binds to those receptors? Write a report.
Your report should include
a description of the structure of the neurotransmitter molecule.
a description of the receptors for the neurotransmitter and where they are found in the body.
an explanation of what happens when neurotransmitter molecules bind to the receptor.
a description of how the binding process is reversed.
a discussion of what happens if the body does not produce enough of the neurotransmitter.
