What is a tonic current?
Not all the electrical signalling in the nervous system is by way of action potentials, or impulses. Indeed it could be argued that some of the most important, if not the most important, of the central nervous system's communications depend upon non-impulse signalling. These signals, which are at least one order of magnitude and sometimes two or more orders of magnitude, weaker than action potentials have been termed electrotonic potentials. They are small depolarisations of a nerve process's membrane and are caused by the essentially passive spread of electrical current through the conducting fluids inside and outside nerve cells and their processes. Nonetheless, however small electrotonic potentials may be, they can have very considerable effect on the physiology of neuronal membranes and thus on the large-scale functioning of the brain. cited from - Elements of Molecular Neurobiology 3rd ed C.

What does electrical conductivity of a substance depend on?
how much free charged ions there are in a solution
Does your body depend on other body system to functions at its best?
Yes! Lets take an example, we are exercising and our breathing system is working, other systems will also work like muscular system will work, it will help the body to move around. Nervous system also function, it'll help you to run by giving sensory impulses to foot, and to heart to pump blood. So these all functions are coordinated.

Where can you purchase electricals?
This would depend on the type of electrical needed. For example, electrical outlets or wires. However, most electrical accessories are available at big box stores such as Lowe's.
Does gravitational and electrical forces depend on a physical property of objects?
If there is a single property of physical objects upon which both electrical and gravitational forces depend it is the property of mass. Without mass, there is no gravity. Likewise, without mass, the are no sources for electrical fields or apparatus for separating and transmitting charges.
Skills that are encountered everyday life that depend on the nervous system?
driving, bending, speech, and processing information.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
