  • 1aBA
  • Ba1A

Frage 5

Frage

Antworten
  • Under 530 nm.
  • Over 480 nm.
  • Over 530 nm.
  • Under 480 nm.

Frage 6

Frage
Dopamine plays a role in Melatonin secretion by:
Antworten
  • Providing negative feedback to Melatonin formation.
  • Upregulating Melatonin receptors.
  • Enhancing the effects of Norepinephrine on Melatonin secretion.
  • Increasing in response to Melatonin binding with receptors.

Frage 7

Frage
5HT has which of the following functions and changes:
Antworten
  • It decreases Serotonin production.
  • It is decreased by AANAT to be converted to Melatonin.
  • It is produced only during the day.
  • Its production leads to increased sympathetic activity and receptor activation on the pineal gland, ultimately leading to decreased Melatonin synthesis.
  • Dopamine activation of the D4 receptor heteromeres decreases 5HT in the morning.

Frage 8

Frage
The Pineal Gland is located outside of the blood brain barrier.
Antworten
  • True
  • False
