The chemical basis of neurotransmission - CORRECT ANSWER is how chemical
signals are coded, decoded, transduced, and sent along the way.
The anatomical basis of neurotransmission - CORRECT ANSWER is neurons and the
connections between them, called synapses, sometimes also called the anatomically
addressed nervous system, a complex of "hard-wired" synaptic connections between
neurons, not unlike millions of telephone wires within thousands upon thousands of
cables
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system - CORRECT ANSWER mediates how the
body metabolizes many drugs, including antipsychotics.
The CYP enzyme - CORRECT ANSWER in the gut wall or liver converts the drug into a
bio transformed product in the bloodstream. After passing through the gut wall and liver,
the drug will exist partly as unchanged drug and partly as bio transformed drug.
agonist - CORRECT ANSWER produces a conformational change in the G-protein-
linked receptor that turns on the synthesis of second messenger to the greatest extent
possible
full agonist - CORRECT ANSWER is generally represented by the naturally occurring
neurotransmitter itself, although some drugs can also act in as full a manner as the
natural neurotransmitter
Constitutive activity - CORRECT ANSWER in the absence of agonist, the receptor's
conformation is such that it leads to a low level of activity
signals are coded, decoded, transduced, and sent along the way.
