Hi Answer:
The correct matching of the following neurotransmitters with their actions is as follows:
Explanations about every neurotransmitter:
GABA: Stands for the gamma-aminobutyric acid having the chemical formula C4H9NO2. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter which is mostly found in the neurons of the brain cortex. It contributes to motor control, anxiety, and vision. It is responsible for the relaxation of brain and muscles.
Norepinephrine: it is also known as noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenaline. It is an organic chemical and it is found in brain and body as a hormone and neurotransmitter. Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders are related to this neurotransmitter. It also has an effect on the blood vessels it contracts the blood vessels and increases the blood pressure and blood glucose. It is used to treat hypotension.
Serotonin: its scientific name is 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT. It is present in brain, bowels, and blood platelets. It helps in the message transmission between the nerve cells. It helps in the contraction of smooth muscles. It also helps the body to regulate the sleep-wake cycles and internal clock. It also plays a role in emotions, motor and automatic functions of the body.
Acetylcholine: it is an organic chemical (C7NH16O2+) and acts a neurotransmitter in the brain of human and many animals. it is an ester of acetic acid and choline. It causes muscles to contract, activates pain responses in the body, regulates sleep functions. The deficiency of Acetylcholine leads to the muscle weakness illness known as myasthenia gravis.
Dopamine: it is also an organic chemical (C8H11NO2) and it plays an important role in brain and body. It controls the movement and acts as crucial part of the basal ganglia motor loop. Shortage of dopamine causes Parkinson's disease.
Name of neurotransmitters Action of neurotransmitters GABA It is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Norepinephrine It involves dreaming, walking, and mood. It also excites cardiac muscle. Serotonin It is involved in sleepiness, alertness, thermoregulation, and mood. Acetylcholine It excites skeletal muscle and inhibits the cardiac muscle. Dopamine It involves the elevation of mood and the control of skeletal muscle.Related Questions
