1 Use crutches to take the weight off your injured leg. 2  Wrap your thigh snugly with a large elastic wrap until you see your doctor.  Use ice packs or cold packs over the injured hamstring. Put the ice pack or cold pack over the elastic wrap and hold it in place with plastic wrap.
Alpha receptors have two main types: alpha 1 and alpha 2. These alpha receptors play very important roles. Generally, the alpha receptors contribute large effects on our bodyâs systems. With regards to our vascular, smooth muscles, alpha receptors can constrict the vessels of our skin and skeletal muscles.
alpha motor neurons (large lower motor neurons) of the brainstem and spinal cord. Upper motor neurons release a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, from their axon terminal knobs, which are received by nicotinic receptors of the alpha motor neurons. In turn, alpha motor neurons relay the stimuli received down their axons via the ventral root of the spinal cord. These signals then proceed to the neuromuscular junctions of skeletal muscles. From there, acetylcholine is released from the axon terminal knobs of alpha motor neurons and received by postsynaptic receptors (Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors) of muscles, thereby relaying the stimulus to contract muscle fibers. Vertebrate and invertebrate differences In invertebrates, depending on the neurotransmitter released and the type of receptor it binds, the response in the
