fiber or the nerve. A minimum voltage is needed in order to induce an action potential.…
3. With a compound action potential, the results would not necessarily be zero because some axons could remain unaffected.…
a. Nerve impulse travels down the _________ and reaches _________ reticulum and _____ is released…
4. Which part of the neuron was stimulated? Action potential is first generated in the dendrites of the neuron, or where the neuron receives the action potential of other neurons.…
Electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimulation are all capable of generating an action potential in a nerve.…
c. Between the inside of the axon and the outside of the axon with control K+ ECF…
An action potential is usually initiated in an axon at or near what? The axon hillock, the initial segment, and the trigger zone.…
With the addition of more Na ions it increases the concentration of Na ions outside the cell. The driving force of the action potential is the increase in the concentration gradient because of the increase of Na ions outside the cell.…
6. Draw and label the structural components of the the NMJ and explain the events that happen when a nerve impulse reaches the NMJ.…
Action Potential (here also describe threshold): The level of stimulation received when a neuron is in its resting state determines if an electrical signal or neural impulse (action potential) will be generated or not. If the threshold is met, the neural impulse will generate and be sent down the axon. If not met, the impulse will not occur.…
vii. Electrical signal along a nerve cell triggers a chemical release across a synapse to trigger response…
d) Information from receptors passes along cells (neurones) in nerves to the brain. The brain coordinates the response. Reflex actions are automatic and rapid. They often involve sensory, relay and motor…
Which ancestral region of the brain is responsible for modern human’s speech and ability to do algebra?…
Channels can be classified as either gated or nongated channels. A sodium channel that is always open would be classified as a/an __________nongated______________ channel.…
REFLEXES ARE RAPID, PREDICTABLE, INVOLUNTARY MOTOR RESPONSES TO STIMULI; THEY ARE MEDIATED OVER NEURAL PATHWAYS CALLED REFLEX ARCS.…
