What else can I help you with?
What part of a neuron would probably be affected most by the application of Novocain?
Novocain blocks calcium channels. Voltage-dependent calcium channels are a group of ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells such as the axons of neurons and glial cells.
What must be done to record the resting membrane potential of an axon?
To record the resting membrane potential of an axon, one would need to insert a microelectrode into the axon to measure the voltage difference across the membrane. The axon must be in a quiescent state with no incoming or outgoing signals to accurately measure the resting potential. This measurement can then be viewed and recorded using an oscilloscope or similar device.
What enters the axon during action potential?
Sodium ions enter the axon during action potential. This influx of sodium ions depolarizes the axon membrane, leading to the propagation of the action potential along the axon.
The membrane of the axon has the unique ability to?
The membrane of the axon has the unique ability to generate and propagate electrical impulses known as action potentials. This is essential for transmitting information along the length of the neuron. The presence of specialized ion channels in the axon membrane allows for the fast and efficient conduction of these signals.
What ion causes presynaptic vesicle to fuse to axon membrane?
The calcium ion is responsible for causing the presynaptic vesicle to fuse to the axon membrane in a process called exocytosis. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, calcium ions enter the terminal and trigger the fusion of the vesicle with the axon membrane, releasing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
How does novocaine work?
Novocain is a medication that is in the local anesthetic family. Novocain works by blocking and numbing the nerve receptors in the skin, mouth, or area that is being anesthetized.
What is a axon hillock?
An axon hillock is a special cell body that connects an axon to a neuron. It is the last place where propagated membrane potentials are transmitted to the axon.
What is axolemma?
An axolemma is the surface membrane of an axon.
What is an axolemma?
An axolemma is the surface membrane of an axon.
Electrical change in the neuronal membrane that is transmitted along axon is?
Action potential is the term for an electrical change in the neuronal membrane transmitted along an axon. The axon is part of a nerve cell that conducts impulses.
When at rest the axon membrane has an electrical charge of?
When at rest, the axon membrane has a negative electrical charge inside compared to outside. This is known as the resting membrane potential and is typically around -70 millivolts.

What are the gaps called where the axon membrane is exposed?
Nodes of Ranvier
