Neurotransmitters are only produced from one side.
What else can I help you with?
How is one-way conduction at synapses ensured?
Absolute refractory period (time which local area of the membrane has surpassed the threshold potential and will not respond to any stimulus).
How are heat and conduction related?
Conduction is one way that heat spreads.
Factors that effect reaction time?
The sensitivity of the receptors, velocity of nerve conduction, and the number of neurons and synapses involved to name a few.
What is one way in which thermal energy moves in and out of the body of a lizard?
One way thermal energy moves in and out of the body of a lizard is through conduction. The lizard's body can absorb heat from the environment (conduction in) when it basks in the sun and lose heat to colder surfaces (conduction out) when it rests on a cooler substrate.
A 36 year old woman has a disease that affects the levels of acetylcholine in her synapses and neuromuscular junctions What is a potential consequence of this disease?
abnormal conduction of signals from neurons to muscles
What is the speed of conduction through a reflex arc slower than the speed of conduction of an action potential along an axon?
The speed of conduction through a reflex arc is slower than the speed of conduction of an action potential along an axon because a reflex arc involves multiple synapses and processing steps in the spinal cord or brain before generating a response, which takes more time. In contrast, in a single axon, action potentials can travel faster due to the myelin sheath that speeds up conduction.
What is a way of conduction?
This means that the flow of a nerve impulse will travel only in one direction.
Why conduction at synapses is always one-way?
There are two basic reasons. One is that chemical transmission only affects the side in the synapse that have specific receptors for the neurotransmitter released, secondly the presynaptic terminal has been depolarized and is in it's refractory period, where it can not again fire. This is also the reason why the travelling wave of the action potential only travels from the axon hillock where the AP is generated towards the nerve terminal. There is, however, one caveat to this 'rule'. In the CA1 region of the hippocampus there is a retrograde signal from the postsynaptic neuron back to the presynaptic side using the gas NO as the 'transmitter'.
Is Conduction through the autonomic efferent chain is faster than conduction in the somatic motor system?
False!
What is the primary way heat is transferred through a gas?
The primary way heat is transferred through a gas is by conduction, where kinetic energy is transferred from one particle to another through direct contact.
What tissue type functions in impulse conduction?
Nervous tissue functions in impulse conduction. It consists of neurons that transmit electrical signals or impulses throughout the body. The specialized structure of neurons, including dendrites, axons, and synapses, enables them to rapidly transmit information.
Why can heat not travel by conduction through a vacuum when there is no particles?
Conduction requires the presence of matter. The way conduction works is that one molecule bumps into another molecule, transferring energy. This mechanism, obviously, requires the presence of molecules.
