Nervous system functions that directly employ acetylcholine neurotransmitters are referred to as cholinergic. Drugs that might be therapeutic in treating the symptoms of dopamine loss in Parkinson’s disease could include
multiple choice 1
dopaminergic agonists and cholinergic antagonists.
dopaminergic antagonists and cholinergic antagonists.
dopaminergic antagonists and cholinergic agonists.
dopaminergic agonists and cholinergic agonists.
2. From the information provided, drugs used to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms will act at which location?
multiple choice 2
The globus pallidus
The substantia nigra
The striatum
3. Which of the following might be therapeutic in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease symptoms?
multiple choice 3
all of these choices listed may be therapeutic

In some cases of ADD (attention deficit disorder) the impulsive, erratic behavior can be normalized with drugs that stimulate the central nervous system. Explain this finding in terms of neurotransmitter activity in the brain.
Parkinson's disease affects the cerebral basal ganglia, resulting in tremors in limbs, slowness in beginning and completing movements, and other abnormalities of muscle
control. Explain what the root cause of Parkinson's disease is (where, what is happening
and what symptoms are seen). A treatment option is Dopamine, that usually fails. Propose a reason why this treatment fails. Propose a biomedical device intervention
that you could use to control symptoms and how it works.

Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex are cholinergic and their axons project directly to muscle fibres to control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex are glutamatergic and their axons project to the thalamus, brain stem and directly to muscle fibres to control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex project to the spinal cord where they synapse with cholinergic lower motoneurons that control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex project to neurons in the cerebellum, thalamus and brain stem that in turn contact lower motoneurons in the spinal cord to control voluntary muscle movements.arrow_forward
