The action potential spreads through an axon by depolarizing adjacent membrane to threshold.

  • K+ departs the cell after Na+, which enters the cell first. Ions can move freely across the axon membrane because of the difference during the action potential.
  • Because sodium contains a positive charge, the neuron becomes more positive and depolarized. Potassium channels take longer to open. As soon as the cell does open, K+ rushes out, reversing the depolarization known as repolarization.
  • Sodium channels close during the peak of the action potential when potassium leaves the cell. When potassium ions are effluxed, the membrane potential is lowered or the cell becomes hyperpolarized.
  • Outside of the cell, the concentration of Na+ is greater than inside the cell. while the concentration of K+ is  is greater inside the cell than outside.

6. Cell membranes are primarily composed of a double layer of phospholipids. Why are phospholipids particularly
Andrews [41]

Answer:

B i hope this help

Explanation:

The cell membrane consists primarily of a thin layer of phospholipids which spontaneously arrange so that the hydrophobic "tail" regions are shielded from the surrounding polar fluid, causing the more hydrophilic "head" regions to associate with the cytosolic and extracellular faces of the resulting bilayer. This forms a continuous, spherical lipid bilayer approximately 7 nm thick, barely discernible with a transmission electron microscope.

The arrangement of hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads of the lipid bilayer prevent polar solutes (e.g. amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and ions) from diffusing across the membrane, but generally allows for the passive diffusion of hydrophobic molecules. This affords the cell the ability to control the movement of these substances via transmembrane protein complexes such as pores and gates.

Answer:Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma)

Explanation:An acoustic neuroma is a noncancerous brain tumor that develops on the nerve that runs between the inner ear and the brain. Also called vestibular schwannomas, acoustic neuromas develop in cells known as Schwann cells. The primary symptoms of vestibular schwannoma are unexplained progressive unilateral hearing loss and tinnitus(the perception of sound when no external corresponding sound is present) and vestibular (disequilibrium) symptoms.
