Nerve agents are class of phosphorus containing organic chemicals that disrupt the mechanism by which nerves transfer messages to organs. The disruption is caused by blocking acetyl-interscholastic, an enzyme that normally destroys tetracycline, a neurotransmitter.
These agents are called Vesicant agents.
A green filter will transmit green light by allowing only green wavelengths to pass through while absorbing other wavelengths.
The compressibility of a fluid is inversely related to its ability to transmit a force. A compressible fluid will deform more easily under pressure, reducing its ability to transmit force efficiently. In contrast, an incompressible fluid maintains its volume under pressure, allowing it to transmit force more effectively.
TTX (the poison in pufferfish) inhibits neurons that transmit sensory information to the brain. Since TTX prevents the generation of action potentials in sensory nerves, the ability of the neurons to transmit sensory information will be inhibited. This loss of sensory information would be experienced as a "numbness" in areas exposed to the toxin.
Neurons are the structures in humans that transmit electrochemical messages. Neurons are specialized cells that generate and conduct electrical impulses, allowing for the transmission of messages throughout the nervous system.
Yes, lenses transmit light by allowing it to pass through, and they refract light by bending it as it travels through the lens. This bending of light is what allows lenses to focus and magnify images.
No, liquids do not have to be continuous or in an open system to transmit forces. Liquids can transmit forces through hydraulic systems, where pressure is applied at one point in the liquid and transmitted evenly to other areas, allowing for force to be transferred over distances without the need for continuous flow or open systems.
Yes. There is a DC interconnector between England and France, allowing power to flow back and forth depending on demand.
Sound travels best through solids because the particles are close together, allowing for quicker vibration transfer. Liquids also transmit sound well due to their density, while gases transmit sound the slowest due to the greater distance between particles.
Axles are cylindrical shafts that connect two wheels on a vehicle, allowing them to rotate together. They support the weight of the vehicle and transmit power from the engine to the wheels, enabling movement. In many designs, axles also provide stability and help maintain the alignment of the wheels. Depending on the vehicle type, axles can be either rigid or independent, affecting handling and ride quality.
A gear is a toothed wheel that is used to transmit energy between two rotating shafts. Gears can increase or decrease the speed and torque of the rotation, allowing for power to be efficiently transferred between different machinery or components.
Neurons transmit signals across a small gap called a synapse by releasing neurotransmitters from the axon terminal. These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the membrane of the receiving neuron, allowing the signal to continue along the neural pathway. This process is crucial for communication within the nervous system.
