Squidward is Sponge Bob's victim...ever looked at it that way? I hate the cartoon because of Sponge Bob...

@@melissarainchild lol... If u actually hate sponge Bob then that means you are really Squidward🤣

Great video I wish my channel could have a video as good as this

This is hilariously out of pocket.

first year psy major here! also looking into the clinical branch

It's actually vice versa

Yes, it's the same thing.

+Ina إينا‬ Adrenalin it's the British name for epinephrine :)

Prefixes "epi-"(greek) and "ad-"(latin) have the same meaning - "above". Same goes for words "nephros"(greek) and "ren"(latin) which mean "kidney". It makes sense because epinephrin (adrenalin) is synthesized in the medulla of suprarenal gland ("supra-" = above, "ren" = kidney).

Suzan Aqeel what do you study? Are you sure they’d be asking you such things?

I am no expert, I am an ER physician for 19yrs but i figure I'd take a shot at answering. Regarding the physiology of regulating opposing systems such as excitatory (glutamate) and inhibitory (GABA) you must understand that efficient homeostasis of an organism requires quick, precise and real time adjustments. The only efficient way to do this is to have opposing systems active with one dominating for the immediate needs of the organism. For the purpose of making a sound analogy I will use the sympathetic and parasympathetic system. Both systems are running at the same time but if you need to run out of a burning building your sympathetic system will ramp up and your parasympathetic system will ramp down. Now 20 minutes later if you need to eat lunch your parasympathetic will ramp up and your sympathetic will ramp down. I used sympathetic and parasympathetic systems because they are very fast whereas Glutamate/GABA are slower, but the concept of both being on for efficiency holds. They balance out each other and only minute increases in one and decreases in the others results in net action. If my explanation was not clear, I will try another.

Thank you very much!!! This video is really helpful

GABA? Please stop. It stands for gamma AMINObutyric ACID. AMINO ACID is in it's name.

MrTommyknocker because they undergo decarboxylation which removes the carboxyl group from the Alpha carbon.

What do you mean? It has the NH2-group and the carboxylic acid group like the others do.

Ok. It is not an alpha amino acid is what I should have said. GABA is rarely refered to as an AA.

I'm about to say the same thing! I'm studying 20 AAs and it's not one of those :)))

Are you serious...? GABA STANDS FOR gamma AMINObutyric ACID. 'Amino Acid' is in it's freaking name. Are you just too thick to realize that or what?

Guys this video is about neurotransmitters and not amino acids. Its is the classification of N.T. thus aminos being one of the sub-part of it. Dahh
