Gaseous neurotransmitters and their role in anapyrexia.
Mammals keep their body temperature (Tb) relatively constant even under a wide range of ambient temperature variation. However, in some particular situations it may be beneficial to increase or to decrease Tb. For instance, under hypoxic conditions, a regulated drop in Tb (anapyrexia) takes place which has been reported to be crucial for survival in a number of different species. This review hi...
متن کاملInnervation of the cricothyroid muscle by the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
BACKGROUND The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) are generally thought to innervate the endolaryngeal muscles and the cricothyroid muscle (CTM), respectively. Meticulous anatomic studies found communication between these nerves (ie, the human communicating nerve). In this study, we report the innervation of the CTM by the RLN. METHOD...
متن کاملThree Gaseous Neurotransmitters, Nitric oxide, Carbon Monoxide, and Hydrogen Sulfide, Are Involved in the Neurogenic Relaxation Responses of the Porcine Internal Anal Sphincter
BACKGROUND/AIMS The internal anal sphincter (IAS) plays an important role in maintaining continence and a number of neurotransmitters are known to regulate IAS tone. The aim of this study was to determine the relative importance of the neurotransmitters involved in the relaxant and contractile responses of the porcine IAS. METHODS Responses of isolated strips of IAS to electrical field stimul...
متن کاملThe Roles of Sex, Xenopus laevis Innervation, and Androgen in Laryngeal Muscle of
The relative contributions of innervation and androgen to three muscle fiber properties-twitch type, size, and number-were examined in the sexually dimorphic, androgensensitive laryngeal muscle of Xenopus laevis. In adults, the muscle contains all fast-twitch fibers in males and fastand slow-twitch fibers in females; laryngeal muscle fibers are larger and more numerous in males than in females....
متن کاملNeurotransmitters
The nervous system processes sensory information and controls behavior by performing an enormous number of computations. These computations occur both within cells and between cells, but it is intercellular information processing, involving complex neural networks, that provides the nervous system with its remarkable functional capacity. The principal cells involved in information processing ar...
