1
Q
Receptors
A
Enable specificity
Evoke an appropriate response
2
Q
Agonist
A
Mimics effect of a normal receptor
3
Q
Antagonist
A
Blocks the normal action of receptor
4
Q
Sources of intracellular calcium
A
From internal stores via calcium triggered release from endoplasmic reticulum
From outside the cell via ligand or voltage-gated channels
Via inhibition of Ca transport out of the cell
