mediate most of the effects of morphine
Definition
Opioid Mu receptors
Term
receptor that may play a role in the development of tolerance
Definition
Delta opioid receptors
Term
receptor that contribute to spinal analgesia and sedation
Definition
Opioid Kappa receptors
Term
at the presynaptic level, close the voltage-gated Ca channels decreasing calcium influx to inhibit excitatory neurotransmitters release from presynatpic terminals
Definition
Mu, Kappa, Delta opioid receptors
Term
activation of this receptor at the postsynaptic level hyperpolarize the second-order pain transmission neurons by increasing K conductance, evoking IPSP
