An activated neuron will send an action potential from upper motor neurons to lower motor neurons to effector organs. It is able to propagate the action potential to the motor end plate by release of neurotransmitters, chiefly acetylcholine. On the terminal bouton the action potential opens voltage gated calcium channels. There is an influx of calcium in the pre-synaptic cell and it pushes the vesicles that contain acetylcholine. These vesicles will pass through the synaptic cleft and bind to cholinergic receptors on the post synaptic neuron. Each vesicle has a miniature end plate potential of 0.5mV. In a normal action potential, it will depolarize the post synaptic motor neuron from -85mV to approximately 0-15mV. So that's approximately 180 vesicles.* The influx of neurotransmitters (primarily acetylcholine) will depolarize the motor end plate and propagate the action potential.
*Threshold of an action potential is approximately -55mV so technically the minimum required to continue an action potential is around 60 vesicles.

As electrons pass through a particular device magnets begin to rotate. This rotation is then used to power devices such as ceiling fans. This is a description of what happens in a(n) .?
Electric motor
Can ultrasonic wave pass through 1Cm thick iron plate?
Yes. Ultrasonic waves can pass through metal. The only difference between "normal" sound waves and ultrasonic waves is that we cannot hear ultrasonic waves. However, they behave the same.
Allowing light to pass through?
allows light to pass through
Which objects light can pass through?
an objects light can pass through is transparent
Does light pass through quartz?
yes, light will pass through quartz
What is the relationship between a stimulus and a reponse?
The stimulus is your bodies reaction to something, say you burnt your hand, this is the stimulus. The reaction is your bodies response to it. In this sense the stimulus will be sensed by sensory neurones which pass an electrical impulse through relay neurons until the impulse gets to the Central Nervous System. This then, gives out another impulse which travels down a Motor Neuron to the muscle telling your hand to be removed from the surface.....
How do spikes and receptors interact?
It reacts in these following steps: 1) A spike (the stimulus) is touched by receptors in the skin. 2) Receptors in the skin detect the stimulus and send electrical impulses down neurones to the sensory neurone. 3) The sensory neurone will pass these electrical signals to the CNS (Central Nervous System). 4) The CNS will pass these electrical signals to the motor neurone which once connected to the brain (through nervous cells reaching the carotid area of the body), the brain will detect and understand the feeling of the spike and will send this information the receptors.
How many functions of neurons in the nervous system?
Neurons are pathways for electrical messages to pass through. Their main function is to pass a message from one neuron to another. As a whole, they transmit these messages between a receptor (something that picks up a stimulus. A stimulus includes things such as temperature, pressure, pain etc.), the brain and an effector (something which carries out the response to the stimulus). There are three main types of neurons: Sensory neurons - receive message from receptor and transmit it to the -> Interneurons - receive message from sensory neurons and pass it on to the brain*. The brain responds and the interneurons pass the message on to the -> Motor neurons - receive message from interneurons and pass it on to an effector. *In the case of a reflex arc, where there is an unconscious response (e.g. touching a hot object) the message will bypass the brain and go straight from receptor to sensory to interneuron to motor to effector.

Why do people yawn when their nervous?
It helps the tension pass away so they dont get more nervous.
How does the passage of a touch signal pass from skin to the cerebral cortex?
Pressure receptors in the skin pick up the stimulus. It passes along a sensory neurone to the central nervous system. Within the CNS it is transferred to the cerebral contex via an association neurone, relay neurone.
Where is the cruciform plate?
the plate in the nasal cavity through which the olfactory nerves pass.

How to replace the heater blower motor on a 1999 Chevrolet pickup truck?
It's located under the dash in the pass. side floorpan. Remove the screws that hold up the trim plate, that will reveal the bottom of the motor, it is removed like a twist-lock, 1/4 turn and it should drop out.
