ENDOCRINE ORGANS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Molecules in a certain medication attach to receptors on nerve cells. This prevents the normalchemical signal from binding to the receptor. One immediate result of taking this medication might be a disruption in the ability of
A
the body to produce reproductive cells
B
cells to communicate with each other
C
cells to synthesize proteins
D
the body to convert inorganic material into organic nutrients
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Molecules in a certain medication attach to receptors on nerve cells. This prevents the normal chemical signal from binding to the receptor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Those molecules that bind to specific receptors and cause a process in the cell to become more active are called agonists. An agonist is something that causes a specific physiological response in the cell. They can be natural or artificial.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that allow electrical signals from neurons to be transmitted to the postsynaptic neuron or effector target.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurotransmitters are often referred to as the body’s chemical messengers. They are the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurones, or from neurones to muscles (eg acetylcholine, dopamine).
