POTENTIAL ENERGY DIAGRAM In physics the terms of mechanical energy usually refers to Potential energy (U) and Kinetic Energy (K). In the absence of non-conservative‚ or dissipative forces‚ these energies obey the law of conservation of energy‚ or ΔU + ΔK = 0. That is‚ when a system is only acting under the influence of conservative forces its total energy content never changes‚ the energy just converts between forms. At any point in the cycle‚ the total energy is constant‚ U + K = Umax = Kmax

action potential production at the site of injection. How do you think Novocain works on the axon membrane‚ and how does it block the sensation of pain? Novocain serves to block receptors on nerve cells that sense pain. Therefore preventing neurotransmitter from binding to the receptors and stimulating sensory neurons to fire. More specifically Novocain blocks the sodium channel and prevents depolarization from occurring in the neurons of the site of injection. Because of this an action potential is

my understanding of Elastic potential energy. And the projectile concepts of the effect of changing potential into kinetic energy and for me to demonstrate my ability to apply elastic potential energy to a scientific investigation. What am I going to do and what will it prove: I am going to use an elastic band and release it from different tensions I will then measure how far it ‘flies’. Doing this will tell me the relationship between force‚ potential energy and kinetic energy.

The Action Potential An action potential‚ also called a spike‚ nerve impulse‚ and discharge‚ is the rapid reversal of charge of the cell membrane. These changes in charge occur within milliseconds‚ meaning the action potential travels very quickly down the axon in order to convey information over long distances. This transfer of information occurs within six phases and requires the presence of multiple pumps and channels embedded in the membrane to control ion concentration. Phase 1: The Resting

carries important information through action potential‚ this is significant activity of the neurons to allow us to understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity. Compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) are summed action potential of one nerve‚ one nerve consists of many neurons

explored in terms of synaptic changes. At a neurobiological level‚ learning is “created” by the interconnectedness between neurons (synapses). Hebb proposed that if the postsynaptic neuron fired while the presynaptic terminal was releasing neurotransmitter (NT)‚ the presynaptic neuron would be more likely to influence the postsynaptic neuron on subsequent occasions‚ i.e. when previously unassociated neurons fire simultaneously on repeated occasions‚ new links are formed which increase synaptic efficiency
