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

Biology

Alja [10]2 years 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.

Brian is a 15-month-old male whose screening hemoglobin is 10.4 g/dl. treatment for his anemia should be:
schepotkina [342]
<span>Hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cell that carries oxygen, and so important for thriving. In the case of Brian, having 10.4 g/dL hemoglobin is very low. Normal values for hemoglobin in males range from 13.5 to 17.5 g/dL. The patient has very serious anema and note he is just 15 months old, and so needs immediate doctor’s attention. The doctor is likely to order a blood transfusion to elevate hemoglobin levels and stabilize the patient before ordering tests to determine cause of anemia.</span>

How can I use the analogy of building blocks to explain how genes relate to the diversity of life?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

-Building blocks are the fundamentals to an overall result, in this case being the characteristics of a human being.

-This is related to genes as the variety of building blocks can make a completely different "outcome" just as a different gene can trigger a different characteristic.

- Without different building blocks, all outcomes will be the same, just as humans. So a variety of "building blocks" are needed for diversity.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.
