What is an unstimulated neuron?
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
When a presynaptic neuron is stimulated in a patients body by an electrical current neurotransmitters are released from the?
The synapse between pre synaptic and post synaptic neuron. Here the acetylcholine is released. It is destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in milliseconds, once the impulse is passed to the post synaptic neuron
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
What neuron comes between the sensory and motor neuron?
Essentially, it is the interneuron. The body has numerous sensory receptors. The sensory receptors are stimulated an send their signal to the central nervous system and synapse or connect with an interneuron which is the processing center. The interneuron then synapses or connects with the motor neuron which sends a message/instruction by way of the motor neuron to skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscles, or glands. This is true, but to add more information, the Interneuron is also known as "relay neuron", "association neuron" or "local circuit neuron".Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interneuron
What is an unstimulated neuron?
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
When neuron stimulated enough it?
When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.
What does it mean by a neuron is highly irritable?
irritability (ability to be stimulated)
What is mean by a neuron is highly irritable?
irritability (ability to be stimulated)
When a stimulus acts on a neuron it decreases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions?
False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )
What happens when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron?
When a neuron is stimulated by another neuron, an action potential is generated and travels down the axon of the stimulated neuron. This action potential triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, which then binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to either excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.
How is a skeletal muscle fiber stimulated by a motor neuron?
motor unitUnit
When the neuron is sussiciently stimulated this process and triggers the action potential?
depolarization
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
When the neuron is sufficiently stimulated this process occurs and triggers the action potential?
depolarization
Where can a neuron be stimulated?
The cell membrane becomes more permeable to the sodium potassium ions.
