Which structures join with the cell's membrane during exoctosis?
In exocytosis a vesicle docks and fuses with the plasma membrane with the aid of a group of proteins called SNARE complexes.This will involve a specific SNARE complex on the vesicle side (called a v-SNARE) binding to a specific SNARE complex on the plasma membrane itself.
What is the charge on the inside membrane during the resting membrane potential?
The resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is around -65mV
How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?
With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
What is the process called when sodium NA is pumped out of a nerve cell?
during action potentials, sodium and potassium cross the membrane of the synapse after the threshold of membrane potential is reached. There, sodium leaves the synapse and the membrane potential is now positive. this is known as depolarization. then during repolarization, the sodium channels close and the potassium channels open to stabilize the membrane potential. during this time, a second action potential cannot occur and this is an evolutionary advantage because it allows rest in the nerve cells and it allows the membrane potential to equalize.
What happens to the portion of the cells membrane that surround a large molecule during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
Is it common to get aroused during a massage?
Yes, it is common to become aroused during a massage. A massage provides stimulation, and stimulation can be arousing.
What is g-stimulation?
It is g-spot stimulation for women. This usually happens during sex and helps women achieve an orgasm.
Why intravascular plasma increases during exercise?
bone stimulation
Why does the force of a muscle decrease over time during uninterrupted stimulation?
The muscle is said to undergo Fatigue.
Stimulation of the vagus nerve results in?
Control of seizures during epilepsy.

What does the electrical stimulation of the brain help determine during a pallidotomy?
Electrical stimulation of the brain through the electrode can help determine exactly which structure is being stimulated.
When does the nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear?
The nuclear membrane disappears during prophase of mitosis and reappears during telephase
Why does repetitive nerve stimulation result in decreased amplitude of the muscle contraction?
The destruction of ACh receptors makes skeletal muscle less responsive to nerve stimulation and more likely to prematurely fatigue. With fewer ACh receptors available to bind to ACh, the skeletal muscle cell membrane potentials have a more difficult time reaching the threshold potential and initiating contraction. Thus, the normal degree of fatigue noted during repetitive nerve stimulation is exacerbated in an individual with myasthenia gravis.
What is it called when new nuclear membranes form?
After the triple cores melted during nuclear fusion
What is the charge on the inside membrane during the resting membrane potential?
The resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is around -65mV
A single mitochondrion consists of?
An outer membrane and an inner membrane, the inner membrane being used during cellular respiration
