In this video, we explore the mechanism of action and metabolism of the illicit drug, ecstasy, scientifically known as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).

This video tutorial briefly covers the sympathetic and parasympathetic role on vessel innervation. It focuses on the following: - Sympathetic neurotransmitters (epinephrine and nor-epinephrine) and receptors (adrenergic). -...

In this video, explore the biochemical mechanisms that promote bronchoconstriction and bronchodilation.

We know that neurotransmitters are signaling molecules that travel across the synaptic space to interact with receptors and propagate signals from one neuron to the next. But what are these molecules? What are their structures? How do...
