What else can I help you with?
What does long term potentiation theory refer to?
an increase in a neuron's firing potential.
What is motor neuron firing?
Motor neuron firing refers to the process by which motor neurons generate action potentials, leading to the transmission of signals from the nervous system to muscles. When a motor neuron receives sufficient stimulation, it depolarizes and fires an action potential, causing the release of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction. This triggers muscle contraction, enabling movement. The frequency and pattern of motor neuron firing can vary based on the type of movement being performed.
What term refers to the nerve cell body including all of its processes and coverings?
Neuron
What is mean by the all or none response of a neuron?
The simplest sense, the all-or-none principle of neuronal firing means that a neuron will either fire or it won't, there is no "half" firing. When a neuron receives excitatory input.
When a neuron fires is there such thing as partial firing?
yes
Neurotransmitters find their way to and subsequently trigger firing of that neuron?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
Is a neuron is a technical term for a nerve?
A neuron is a technical term for a nerve cell.
Can the firing of one neuron produce temporal summation?
True
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.
The state of the neuron when not firing a neural impulse is known as?
Resting potential
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse?
The state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse is called the resting potential. This is when the neuron is negatively charged inside compared to outside, waiting for a stimulus to change its electrical charge and initiate an action potential.
What stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing?
Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing. This enzyme enables acetyl and choline to release their binding sites.
