The channels that transport sodium and potassium within the axon are called?

The channels that transport sodium and potassium within the axon are called voltage-gated sodium channels and voltage-gated potassium channels. These channels play a crucial role in generating and propagating action potentials along the axon.


What do you mean by degenerate modes in optical fibers?

one of a set of modes of propagation having the same exponential variation of the field components along the longitudinal axis of a uniform transmission line, but having different configurations in any transverse cross-section


Is action potential self propagating?

Yes, action potentials are self-propagating. Once an action potential is initiated in a neuron, it causes a local depolarization that triggers adjacent voltage-gated sodium channels to open, leading to the propagation of the signal along the axon. This process continues in a wave-like manner, allowing the action potential to travel long distances without diminishing in strength.


How does a nerve pass along messages?

Nerves transmit messages through electrical impulses known as action potentials. When a nerve is stimulated, ion channels in its membrane open, allowing sodium ions to flow in, which depolarizes the membrane. This change in voltage triggers adjacent ion channels to open, propagating the impulse along the nerve fiber. Once the impulse reaches the end of the nerve, it typically causes the release of neurotransmitters, which transmit the signal to the next nerve or target cell.

What is an easy definition of the optical axis?

An optical axis is a line along which there is some degree of rotational symmetry in an optical system such as a camera lens or microscope..


Where are channels located?

Along the cellular membrane.


When a neuron depolarizes this rushes out of the axon?

When a neuron depolarizes, sodium ions rush into the axon through voltage-gated sodium channels. This influx of sodium ions causes the inside of the neuron to become more positively charged, propagating the electrical signal along the axon in the form of an action potential.

How does a neurotransmitter cause an action potential in a receiving neuron?

A neurotransmitter binds to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of a receiving neuron, leading to the opening of ion channels. This causes an influx of positively charged ions, such as sodium (Na+), which depolarizes the membrane. If the depolarization reaches a certain threshold, it triggers an action potential by opening voltage-gated sodium channels, allowing further sodium influx and propagating the electrical signal along the neuron.
