Why is 'govindha' praised during purtassi?
The holy month of purthasi is for the worship of Lord Vishnu the preserver.
In the holy scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna states that his universal form is Maha Vishnu. Because Lord Krishna is Govinda, hence Govinda is praised at Purtassi! Lord vishnu descended in Tirupathi Hills in India in the month of Purtsassi, mid September to mid October. The Bhajan "Srinivasa govinda Sri venketsa govinda, tirupathi vasa govinda, tirumalai vasa govinda, apadbandhava govinda, anatharakshaka govinda, govinda hari govinda, gopala hari gopal."
Lord Krishna states in the scripture, "whenever evil is rampant upon the earth, I descent myself in a human form to annihilate the miscreants and to deliver the pious"
Lord Maha Vishnu's richest blessings during the month of Purtassi and all eternity
How does a neuron indicate the strength of a stimulus?
A neuron conveys information about the strength of stimuli by varying the rate in which the stimulus is fired.
What stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing?
Acetylcholinesterase is the enzyme that stops muscle stimulation when the motor neuron ceases firing. This enzyme enables acetyl and choline to release their binding sites.
When does the peak growth period for synapses of the senses to occur?
I've been looking for the answer to this question for a take-home test I'm doing (I haven't been able to find a clear answer either in my textbook or online).. There is a graph in my textbook (The Developing Person: Through the Life Span, 7th ed., Kathleen Berger, pg. 131) that suggests that for audio/visual synapses, development occurs rapidly from birth to about 2 years, and peaks at about 3 months of age.
So, in short, I'm not sure, but I think about 3 months of age.
What minimizes leakage of the electrical current traveling along the axon?
The nodes of Ranvier along myelinated axons in sensory nerve fibers minimize leakage of the nerve impulse electrical signal.
