Depolarization results from positive ion influx, while hyperpolarization arises from potassium efflux or chloride influx. Graded potentials are essential for action potential generation but decrease with distance from their source.

Metabolism is divided into catabolism, which breaks down food for energy, and anabolism, which uses that energy to build molecules. These processes are interrelated, with catabolism providing energy for anabolism. The metabolic rate is influenced by age, gender, activity level, genetics, and lifestyle choices.

They are vital for lipid metabolism and detoxification, particularly in the liver. Peroxisomes can form through self-replication or budding from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, differing from lysosomes that come from the Golgi apparatus. Their functions can vary depending on the cell type.

It highlights serotonin's role in depression and its treatment via SSRIs, the functions of glutamate and GABA, and the regulatory impact of neuropeptides on pain. Gaseous neurotransmitters are noted for retrograde signaling.
