A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
Irrespective of what the stimuli entails, the probability that the neuron will fire will be changed by its input. For instance, if the sum of all the inputs at a given time produce local membrane hyperpolarization, then there will a reduced probability that the neuron will fire an action potential. And vice versa. In other words, the action potential frequency is the only outcome that is possible. However, the value of this frequency can be anywhere from 0-20 cycles per second for most neurons.
A concluding transition word is used to signal the end of a presentation or argument. Examples include "in conclusion," "to sum up," or "overall." These words help to indicate to the audience that you are bringing your thoughts to a close.
A neuron decides whether or not to produce an action potential by a summation of excitatory and inhibitory signals at the trigger point of the neuron, the axon hillock (or, the initial segment of the axon immediately following the axon hillock), plus a sufficient density of voltage-gated sodium ion pores at the trigger point.Neurons can receive both excitatory and inhibitory inputs at the same time, and if a confluence of those multiple signals at the axon hillock/initial axon segment (or alternatively, an occasion of sufficiently quickly repeated excitatory signals) sums to yield a membrane potential there of about -55 mv, this will cause the large number of voltage-gated sodium ion pores present there to open, allowing a sufficient influx of sodium ions to raise the membrane potential momentarily higher, which depolarizes adjacent regions of the axon, allowing more voltage-gated ion pores to open, allowing more sodium ions in; these actions repeat and continue along the axon, achieving the action potential.It's important to understand that although the level of the summation of signal voltages is the trigger for the action potential, the initial firing of the action potential could not occur if there wasn't a sufficient density of voltage-gated sodium ion pores at the trigger point to allow sufficient sodium ions in to cause the membrane potential in adjacent regions to be high enough to open theirv-gated Na ion pores, so that the action potential could continue to propagate along the axon.
The biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems and encompasses all living organisms on Earth. It extends from the highest part of the atmosphere to the deepest part of the ocean. The precise boundary of the biosphere is not easily defined as life can exist in extreme environments.

An advance payment is a part of a sum which is paid or received in advance for goods and services.
There are several key parts to a neuron: dendrites, which receive input, cell body or soma, where the electrical impulses sum, axon, the structure along which the action potential is propagated, and the terminal buttons which release neurotransmitters into the synapse between two neurons.
Neurons integrate incoming signals and sum up the excitatory and inhibitory signals, integration. The excitatory neurotransmitter produces a potential change (signal). This signal pushes the neuron closer to an action potential. If the neuron receives excitatory signals chances are that the axon will transmit a nerve impulse. The inhibitory neurotransmitter produces signals that drive neurons further from an action potential. If neurons receive both the inhibitory and the excitatory signals the summing of the signals may prohibit the axon from firing.
An operational amplifier can sum an arbitrary number of signals and produce a single output signal.
the sum, or total.
Every periodic signal can be decomposed to a sum (finite or infinite) of sines and cosines according to fourier analysis.
The sum of a whole number and a fraction is called a mixed number.
add the signal voltages by connecting them in series - to +
A Partial Sum is a Sum of Part of a Sequence. You must have a sequence to find the partial sum. The regular sum of 67 + 85 is 152.
The nervous system is composed of many cells called neurons, these are essentially the functional units of the nervous system. ?Neurotrnasmitters are chemical messengers that are sent from one neuron to another neuron. ?So basically they are messangers communicating from one neuron to the next. ?Some neurotransmitters are excitatory which act to help activate a neuron, some neurotransmitters are inhibitory and act to reduce excitement of a neuron. ?Many many neurotransmitters will act on a neuron at a given time and the sum total will result in either an excitation or inhibition of that neuron. ?Examples of neurotransmitters include GABA, glutamate, serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, ?glycine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, melatonin, substance P, and many more!
The part of the sum that we see is called the "summand." A summand is any of the individual numbers or terms that are added together in a sum. When you perform addition, the result is known as the "sum," while each summand contributes to that total.
