Psyc62 chapter 8: alcohol: alcoholic beverage consists of any drink containing ethyl alcohol: (aka. Ethanol) an alcohol that functions as a central nervous system depressant: two other forms of alcohol (not safe to drink) Liquors, spirits: distillation: method that separates alcohol from a fermented mixture, distillers heat a fer(cid:373)e(cid:374)ted (cid:373)i(cid:454)ture u(cid:374)til it e(cid:454)(cid:272)eeds al(cid:272)ohol"s (cid:271)oili(cid:374)g poi(cid:374)t. Likely diminishes effectiveness of negative feedback: voltage-gated calcium channels facilitate neurotransmitter release, gene expression, and enzyme regulation, regions with voltage-gated calcium channels, nervous system, heart, smooth muscle, kidneys, pancreas, 6 known types of voltage-gated calcium channels. L, n, p, q, r, t: alcohol inhibits the l-type calcium channel. Acute administration of alcohol reduces neurotransmitter release from axon terminals containing these channels.

Clara rebello: alcohol causes activation of 5-ht3 receptors through either of 2 ways, enhances serotonin levels leads to greater activation of 5-ht3 receptors.
