BIOL 3810-504 Compound Action Potentials Date Performed: 15FEB2011 Date Due: 01MAR2011 Introduction Neurons are the cells that receive and transmit electrical signals (University of North Texas‚ 2010). The ability of the neuron to conduct these impulses is because of an electrochemical voltage across the plasma membrane of that neuron. An action potential is an all or nothing response to a stimulus along a single axon. A compound action potential is a graded response that results from

Action Potentials An action potential is the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell. An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon‚ away from the cell body. A threshold is the minimum amount of stimulation needed to start a neural impulse (you know‚ the electrical impulses that travel throughout your body carrying important information). Action potentials generated by neural impulses are

The embryonic stem cells‚ which are pluripotent cells that are derived from the inner cell mass of the pre-implantation embryo at the blastocyst stage. They are considered as an important finding as they have the potential of self-renewal and differentiate indefinitely into the three germ layers‚ the endoderm‚ mesoderm and the ectoderm. The human embryonic stem cells were considered to be useful in clinical applications‚ as they have the potential to be used in cell therapies on diseases like Parkinson’s

The Stimulus-Value-Role Theory has three stages of development. Stimulus‚ the first stage‚ is the evaluation of the physical attractiveness of prospective partners. The first impression towards a person is determined by the physical features‚ such as appearance and social qualities. If both individuals are pleased with each other’s unspiritual characteristics‚ they might enter into the next stage. What is significant in the second stage‚ Value‚ is the mutual understanding between two persons. In
