Neurons are able to generate tiny electrical currents through a process called action potential. This occurs when the neuron receives a stimulus that exceeds a certain threshold. It triggers a rapid exchange of charged particles, or ions, across the cell membrane, resulting in an electrical impulse that propagates along the neuron's axon. This electrochemical signal allows neurons to communicate with each other and transmit information throughout the nervous system.

Write to basic properties of Nuron?

Excitability / irritability: This means they can be stimulated to produce an impulse (action potential) – a tiny electrical current. Conductivity: This means neurons are also able to transfer an impulse along the full length of their axons and then on to other neurons, muscles or glands.


What is the importance of electricted measurement?

We need to be able to measure electrical currents, because this will give us the capacity to control it. As soon as we can measure it , we will be able to predict the behaviour and the effects of electrical current on our electric equipment, and on the wires that carry it and so, we will be able to design proper electrical circuits and devices. Also we will be able to calcullae the cost of operating any electrical appliance. Plasma TV, LightBulb, etc. Electricity is invisible, and we can not control what we don't see . But if we have measurement equipment we will be able to sense it , and then we will control it. Learning electricity is easy as soon as we learn the meaning of the main units of measurement : Amps, Volts, Ohms, Watts, and Watts per hour. Also it easy to learn to work with the few and simple equations that explain the laws of the electrical energy : Like this one : Voltage = Current * Resistance Power = Voltage * Current Resistance = Voltage / Current Current = Voltage / Resistance Current = Power / Voltage Electrical Energy = Power * hours (of operation)


The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?

The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are conduction impulses and communicating with each other. These stimuli can be touch, sound, light, taste, and smell.


What happens when someones brain has a low level of neurotransmitter?

Neurons aren't able to communicate with each other.


How would the weather or ocean currents affect a tugboat?

weather currents would effect tugboats because the water would reel it in and the boat would not be able to move.

What would someone use a fluke clamp meter for?

A fluke clamp meter is used for electrical purpose by electricians. You can use them to measure things such as a large air condition currents. Different clamp meters have different features such as being able to measure motor inrush currents.

What do the lower neurons do?

You are probably speaking of "lower motor neurons." These are neurons that send information from the spinal cord to the muscles of the body & they travel within all most of the nerves of the body (like sciatic, median, etc). These neurons are controlled by "upper motor neurons" and control your muscles to allow you to be able to move.
