A neuron has an altered charge potential?
An altered charge potential in a neuron can disrupt its ability to transmit signals effectively. This could lead to issues with communication between neurons and impair the overall functioning of the nervous system. Factors such as changes in ion concentration or disruptions in ion channels could contribute to altering the charge potential of a neuron.
What potentials are short-livedlocal changes in membrane potential that can be either depolarized or hyperpolarized?
Action potentials are short-lived, local changes in membrane potential that can be either depolarized or hyperpolarized. They are essential for transmitting electrical signals along neurons.
What happens when a neurons is above its threshold level?
When a neuron is above its threshold level, it generates an action potential. This is an electrical impulse that travels down the neuron's axon, triggering the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse. This allows communication with other neurons or muscles.
What was Excitation and Inhibition about?
Excitation and Inhibition occur in the neurons. Excitation is when a neuron becomes depolarized and fires an action potential. Inhibition is when a neuron becomes hyperpolarized preventing it from firing an action potential.
What is the subatomic particles in atom?
electrons ( negative charge), neurons ( no charge or neutral charge), and protons ( positive charge)
What is the electric charge does proton have in electron?
A proton has a positive charge which is equal in magnitude but opposite to the charge on an electron, which is negative.
Why the calcium decrease creates convulsion?
Since calcium deficiency causes the neurons to be depolarized easily, and thus repetitive depolarization occurs which will lead to accumulation of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction and can cause repetitive muscle contractions which can progress to tetany
A charge difference between the interior of the neuron axon and the exterior exist when the neurons is?
polarized
What is depolarized light?
Depolarized light refers to light in which the orientation of the electric field vectors is randomized in all directions. This means that the light is no longer vibrating in a single plane, making its polarization undefined. Depolarized light can be created by scattering or passing light through certain materials.
What do neurons carry nerve impulses in the form of?
Neurons carry nerve impulses in the form of electrical signals. These signals are generated by changes in the electrical charge of the cell membrane, allowing for communication between neurons and other cells in the body.
When a sodium channel opens and sodium rushes into a myocyte the cell membrane becomes?
depolarized, which triggers an action potential and leads to muscle contraction.
What are the three main states of a neuron?
polarized, depolarized, repolarized
