(Lack of enough serotonin is thought to play a role in depression, anxiety, mania and other health conditions.)
31
serotonin is almost exclusively produced in neurons originating in the raphe nuclei located in the midline of the brainstem. These serotonin-producing neurons form the largest and most complex efferent system in the human brain.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS)
32
part of the brain where serotonin is?
BRAINSTEM
33
Where are 5-HT receptors located?
POST-SYNAPTIC ENTERIC AND SENSORY NEURONS ENTERIC NEURONAL MEMBRANES VAGUS GASTRIC ENDOCRINE GLANDS AND IN THE CNS
34
Where is most serotonin found?
GUT (INTESTINES)
35
About ____ of serotonin is found in the cells lining your gastrointestinal tract.
90%
36
About ___ of serotonin is produced by our brain.
10%
37
Is 5-HT the same as serotonin?
YES, BECAUSE SERONININ IS ALSO KNOWN AS 5-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE (5-HT)
38
primarily affects mood, promoting feelings of well-being. It also affects appetite, sleep cycles and pain perception.
SEROTONIN / 5-HYDROXYTRYPTAMINE (5-HT)
39
What causes a lack of serotonin?
AGE-RELATED HEALTH AND BRAIN CHANGES CHRONIC STRESS A LACK EXPOSURE TO NATURAL LIGHT LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
40
