Possibly, but most likely you would just get a shock or the circuit breaker would trip before it killed you. A normally healthy person would have to be connected to it for a while before it was fatal.

What is The purpose of axon?

As far as I understand it, the purpose of the axon is to transmit the electrical impulses (information) of the presynaptic dendrites away from the cell body. The axon therefore acts as a sort of barrier between the postsynaptic dendrites, as it is kind of a one-way street from the cell body to the postsynaptic dendrites. As for why this is necessary, I have no clue. I would assume that if electrical information were to get caught up and stuck somewhere in the cell that it might be damaging to the neuron itself. The purpose of the axon would ultimately be to get the electrical information from the cell body to the postsynaptic dendrites so that chemical production on the neurotransmitter takes place.


IF A child has just stuck scissors into an uncovered electrical outlet ONE SHOULD immediate actions would be to WHAT?

Assuming I am wearing dry leather shoes with rubber soles, and I'm not standing in water, I would kick the child's hand away (gently) from the scissors to break the circuit (without me getting electrocuted as well). To try to turn off the power at the mains would take too long. Also, my rubber soles meant I was not grounded to earth, and I could grasp the child's dry clothing (using one hand) and drag the child away to safety.Obviously, the better option would be to not allow an open electrical outlet, an unsupervised child armed with metal scissors anywhere near electrical appliances and installations whatsoever.There is the possibility that the electrical shock would throw the child clear - then the emergency services and administering CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if the child is unconscious would possibly be needed.

Why should you never stick a knife or other metal object into a plugged in toaster to remove the toast?

Doing so can cause a short circuit, electric shock, or even start a fire. It's very dangerous to insert metal objects into a plugged-in toaster as you risk becoming part of an electrical circuit and getting severely injured. It's always better to unplug the toaster before attempting to remove any stuck items.

Socket stuck on the spark plug and i can't get it out and its still in the engine?

Try reversing the drive on your ratchet handle and turning the socket in the opposite direction you were turning it when you got it stuck on the spark plug. Be sure to use a six point spark plug socket. It's much harder to ruin a hex with a six point socket. After you get the socket loose, I'd recommend removing and discarding this plug and getting a new one.
