Does age affect reflexes?
Because if you are older your reflexes start getting weaker but when you are young they are starting to get stronger
Can your thigh muscles get weaker?
If you cease to use them for a while, yes, they will get weaker.
What is the difference between the way excitatory and inhibitory transmitters work?
As a rule more than one presynaptic action potential is needed to fire the postsynaptic neuron or muscle so that the trigger to initiate an action potential are either many subthreshold local potentials from different sources or from the same neuron received within a short period of time. The first case is called spatial summation and the second case is called temporal summation. Whether a postsynaptic potential (another term for a local potential) is excitatory or inhibitory depends on what ion channels are affected by the transmitter released from the presynaptic vesicles.
What makes the bones weaker?
They become brittle because the interior spongy bone which is responsible for bone density deteriorates and what is left is mostly compact bone which is brittle and likely to break or shatter easily.
Does Gatorade make your bones weaker or affect them in any way?
yes it does because some Gatorade has sugar and other things up in it so my answer would be yes Gatorade does make you weaker
Does an electrical field become weaker as distance from the electron increases?
true! An electrical field becomes weaker.
Do gravitational forces become stronger or weaker as the distance between masses increases?
weaker (generally speaking) Try two parallel plates...
What are the forces that keep objects in orbit and how are these forces affected by distance?
The forces are gravitational forces. They become weaker with distance and mass reduction
What is a word that means to become weaker?
Abate:to become weaker;to decrease
If the masses do not change but the objects are moved farther apart r becomes bigger will be gravitational force become stronger or weaker?
If the masses do not change, but the objects are moved farther apart, the gravitational force becomes weaker, due to the distance between the objects.
Is it true gravity grows weaker by the square of the distance?
Yes.
How can gravity be changed by distance?
Force = G(m1m2)/r2As you see the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects. So, make the distance between the two objects measured for their gravitational force greater and the force of gravity will become weaker.
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 is the condition in which the muscle fibers gradually become weaker and weaker?
fibromyalgia my grandmothe has this disease and it causes her nonstop pain
Is the force of attraction greater or less when the distance between two objects is far?
All attractive forces, gravitational, coulombic, and magnetic vary as the square of the distance between two objects. Thus, as the distance increases, the force between them becomes much weaker and weaker.
What are the strength and weaknesses of radio?
Strengths: No wires, No Los required, greater range possible. Weaknesses: Signals become weaker over distance. Wireless signals can be intercepted so security is an issue.
What does deterioate mean?
It means to break apart or become weaker.
