What else can I help you with?
According to the law a neuron fires an action potential at only one level of intensity.?
Yes, according to the all-or-none law, a neuron fires an action potential at a consistent intensity, meaning it either reaches the threshold and fires or does not fire at all. Once the threshold is reached, the action potential will occur with the same amplitude and duration, regardless of the strength of the stimulus that triggered it. This ensures that the signal transmitted along the neuron remains uniform, allowing for reliable communication within the nervous system.
How do ions get across the neuron membrane?
Ions can cross the neuron membrane through specific protein channels. These channels are selective, allowing only certain ions to pass through based on their size and charge. Additionally, ions can also be transported across the neuron membrane through active transport processes, which require energy in the form of ATP.
What is the action of dopamine on the postsynaptic membrane?
All neurotransmitters have an effect on the post synaptic membrane of either inhibition or excitation. Dopamine is an Excitatory NT so if a Excitatory Neuron meets with another Excitatory Neuron it creates Excitation. However if it meets with an Inhibitory Neuron Dopamine and the other Excitatory NT's wll only create Inhibition. Only GABA and Glycine are considered Inhhibitory NTransmitters.
What happens when a neuron is polarized?
When a neuron is polarized, there is a difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell. This difference in charge is created by an uneven distribution of ions across the cell membrane. This polarization allows the neuron to generate and transmit electrical signals.
What substances plays a mojor role in generating the membrane potential of a neuron?
Well, for starters, membrane potential is a separation of charges across the membrane. So i think what you mean is "generating the action potential in a neuron". So in that case The substance that plays a major role in generating an action potential is Sodium (Na+). However, if you really mean membrane potential, there is only two substances associated with that and those are sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+).However, in truth, the generation of an action potential depends on the ligand and its receptor.

How does a threshold prevent a neuron from generating too many action potential?
A threshold in a neuron represents the critical level of depolarization needed to trigger an action potential. When the membrane potential reaches this threshold, voltage-gated sodium channels open, allowing an influx of sodium ions that leads to rapid depolarization. If the membrane potential does not reach this threshold, the neuron will not fire, thus preventing excessive or spontaneous action potentials. This mechanism ensures that action potentials are generated only in response to sufficient stimuli, maintaining proper signaling in the nervous system.

What happens when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron?
When a neuron is stimulated by another neuron, an action potential is generated and travels down the axon of the stimulated neuron. This action potential triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, which then binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to either excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.
What is the insulating material found around a neuron?
myelin, although it is really only around the AXON of the neuron, not the whole neuron.
What does the process of transmitting a nerve impulse from one neuron to another involve?
When a neurotransmitter lands on their receptor site, they can either excite of inhibit the receiving cell. To excite a cell, positive sodium ions flow to it, which depolarizes the membrane in a similar way to a nerve impulse. The depolarizing effect spreads through the membrane and only last for 1/3 of a millisecond.
Is there only one kind of neuron?
No.
Potentials that are short lived and decremental are?
Action potentials in nerve cells are short-lived and decremental in nature. They involve a rapid depolarization and repolarization of the cell membrane, lasting only milliseconds. The strength of the signal diminishes as it travels along the neuron due to leakage of ions across the membrane.
Facts about fires in England?
only small amount of fires
What is the neuron that conducts impulses away from the central nervous system to muscles only?
That is referred to as a motor neuron.
