Välittäjäainesysteemi
Välittäjäainesysteemi refers to the system of neurotransmitters and their associated receptors in the nervous system. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals from a neuron across a synapse to a target cell, which can be another neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. This communication is crucial for virtually all bodily functions, including movement, sensation, thought, and emotion.
The process begins when an electrical signal, an action potential, travels down a neuron's axon. Upon reaching
The binding of a neurotransmitter to its receptor can have excitatory or inhibitory effects on the target
The välittäjäainesysteemi is incredibly complex, involving a wide variety of neurotransmitters, each with unique functions and
