    Eliciting (Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Depolarization has to do with surfaces becoming more negative or positive and reaches a certain point called a threshold. When the threshold is reached‚ an action potential is initiated. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? The threshold voltage in Activity 1 was 3.0. 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes

    The depolarisation and repolarisation that takes place within a cell from that occurs gives rise to voltage of waveforms. With the human body each cell at this present time is generating electrical impulses like a voltage generator‚ which is a basic source of all the bioelectric potentials. With these bioelectric potentials they produce ionic voltages produced by the coordination of electrochemical activity within numerous cells. When the cells are in line the charges tend to migrate through the

    For my project‚ I chose tetanus because when I was eleven‚ I got my tetanus shot. At the time‚ I didn’t know what tetanus was so my dad explained it to me. I thought the topic was interesting. At the time‚ I thought that tetanus was only caused by rust getting on an open wound or cutting yourself with something rusty. I only knew that it stiffened your face muscles and could kill you. When I saw tetanus on the list on Edmodo‚ I just knew I had to learn more about it. I am so glad that I chose it

    The nervous system is one of the smallest yet one of the‚ if not the most‚ complex systems in the human body. It can be broken down into two main subdivisions‚ the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The central nervous system contains about 85 billion neurons and includes the spinal cord and brain. It is considered the control center of the body and processes all types of incoming sensory information. The peripheral nervous system is composed of all the other tissue

    men vs women.txt A male brain is about 10% larger than the female brain and has 5% more brain cells. That sounds like good news for men but the female brain more than makes up for its disparity in size in other ways.But women have more nerve cells in certain areas. Women also tend to have a larger corpus collusum — the group of nerve fibers that connects left and right hemispheres. That makes women faster at transferring data between the computational‚ verbal left half and the intuitive‚ visual right

    The nervous system is an important part of the human body. The system is made up of many different parts and each part is placed in either the central or peripheral nervous systems. These two parts work together and bring physical feelings and the proper reaction to them. The peripheral nervous system is the larger of the two systems. The peripheral nervous system consists of two more systems inside of it. The two other systems are the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic nervous system
