a thick, brown-green fluid secreted by the liver which is alkaline in its reactions, containing bile salts, bile pigments, CHOLESTEROL and inorganic salts. Bile is transferred from the liver to the DUODENUM via the bile duct which in many mammals contains a reservoir called the gall bladder.
Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.asopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water reabsorption in the kidney's collecting ducts, the tubules which receive the very dilute urine produced by the functional unit of the kidney, the nephrons.
Just as in the muscarinic receptor, and most other G protein-coupled receptors that bind biogenic amines, the adrenergic receptors possess an aspartate residue in the third transmembrane domain. The aspartate residue appears to interact with the amine residue of norepinephrine and other adrenergic ligands.he beta receptors in turn are divided into beta1 and beta 2 receptors because certain drugs affect only some beta receptors. Also, there is a less distinct division of alpha receptors into alpha1 and alpha 2 receptors.
