    Sodium and potassium are important within the nervous impulse; without those living organisms would not be able to send an impulse across a nerve‚ therefore we would not be able to survive. This is because‚ for depolarisation to take place‚ firstly there must be a resting potential at -70mv‚ this is acquired by the sodium-potassium pump‚ which pumps

    joint. The tight space between this fibrous band and the wrist bone is called the carpal tunnel. The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel to receive sensations from the thumb‚ index‚ and middle fingers of the hand. Any condition that causes swelling or a change in position of the tissue within the carpal tunnel can squeeze and irritate the median nerve. Irritation of the median nerve in this manner causes tingling and numbness of the thumb‚ index‚ and the middle fingers -- a condition known

    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 "all or nothing‚" meaning the signal reaches the

The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6‚ B12‚ niacin‚ riboflavin‚ and folate) — need to dissolve

    Components * There are three parts to the muscular system: * the muscles themselves‚ * nerve tissues and connective tissues. * The connective tissues (tendons) attach the muscles to the skeletal system. * The nerve tissues conduct the electrical impulses that control the muscles. Muscle characteristic * irritability‚: denotes how a muscle responds when it receives an electrical impulse or is damaged * contractibility‚: is how muscles move; they shorten‚ then relax to control

    <br><br>When someone looks at an object‚ what he/she is really seeing is the light that the object reflects‚ or gives off. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on to the retina of the eye. Here‚ the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain‚ where it makes an image of the object‚ and then that image is passed on to muscles and glands.<br><br>The eye is well protected. It lies within a bony socket of the skull. The eyelids guard it in front. They blink
