Explain the propagation of electrical impulses along a neuron including the role of myelin

Biology
1 answer:
Alja [10]1 year ago
4 0

Nerve impulses are signals that are transmitted along nerve fibers of the body.

<h2>Nerve impulses are electrical impulses. They are generated in response to stimuli.</h2>

These electrical impulses create:

  • action potentials as waves of depolarization that moves along the axons.

The axons contain voltage-gated ion channels that are either opened or closed by depolarization (which is the opening of ion channels leading to changes in membrane potential)

Depolarization further causes other channels to open and close thus spreading across the entire length of the axon and into another nerve cell (neuron).

Myelin sheaths act as buffers and through salt conduction help increase the speed of electrical impulses through the neurons. Not every nerve cell is insulated with a myelin sheath.

When a tapeworm steals nutrients from the gut of a mammalian host, that symbiosis is called?
Umnica [9.8K]
Tapeworms are known to feed off of their hosts to complete their life cycle. This type of symbiotic relationship is called parasitism. Parasitism is defined as the type of symbiotic relationship wherein only one of the two interacting organisms benefit, at the latter organism's expense. Parasites could either be found inside or outside the host's body. Tapeworms are internal parasites.

Use the picture to tell if it is accurate , precise , or both?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Accurate - Yes

Precise - Yes

Explanation:

Accuracy and precision are two ways to detect the closeness of measured values in an experiment. However, these two terms do not mean the same thing.

Accuracy of a measurement refers to how close a measurement (experimental values) is to a true or actual value while the precision of a measurement refers to how close the experimental or measured values are to one another.

Note that, a measurement may be accurate but not precise or be precise but not accurate.

In the case of the dart board in the image, it is evident that the measured values (represented by darts) are close to the middle target (represents the known or accepted mark). Hence, the measurements are said to be ACCURATE. Likewise, the measured values are also close to one another, meaning that they are PRECISE.

Therefore, the measurements are both precise and accurate.
