14. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are a class of medications that are prescribed to combat depression. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is thought to affect mood in a positive manner. Predict how this medication might relieve depressed feelings. A. Reuptake is a decrease in the number of receptors available on the surface of target cells. By increasing the number of receptors, the person will be more sensitive to the effects of serotonin, which would positively affect their mood. B. By inhibiting the reûptake of serotonin, a SSRI would leave more serotonin avallable for brain pathways. With more serotonin available, the person's mood would be more Positive. C. Reuptake is an increase in the number of receptors available on the surface of target cells. By increasing the number of receptors, the person will be more sensitive to the effects of serotonin, which would positively affect their mood. D. Inhibiting the reuptake means that there would be less serotonin available. If this hormone causes bad moods, then less would increase the person's mood

1. Choose (place an X) whether the characteristic applies to the Nervous System or Endocrine System (or both) Characteristic Action is generally brief (lasting milliseconds). Action generally lasts longer (seconds to days). Mediator molecules delivered to target by bloodstream. Action potentials trigger release of mediator molecules at synapse with target. Target cells require specific protein receptor for mediator molecule. Stimulates skeletal muscle contractions. Influence is much broader; will regulate virtually all types of body cells. Controls growth & development and regulates reproductive systems. Maintains internal environments (homeostasis) Nervous Endocrine Mediator molecules include acetylcholine, glutamate, norepinephrine, serotonin Mediator molecules include aldosterone, melatonin, insulin, calcitonin
