What is the difference between an inhibitory and an excitatory post synaptic potential?.

Biology

Fudgin [204]1 year ago
8 0

An excitatory post synaptic potential has a reversal potential more positive than the action potential threshold, whereas an inhibitory post synaptic potential has a reversal potential more negative than threshold.

Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) carry the neuron's potential closer to its volatile threshold. on the other hand Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSP) change the charge across the membrane to be further from the volatile threshold.

These potentials are also known as graded potential because their size or amplitude is directly proportional to the strength of the triggering event. Example include when large stimulus leads to the generation of a strong graded response and a small stimulus leads to the generation of a weak graded response.

Candace is wanting to be sure that she is doing what she can to prevent the spread of disease. Which of the following should she
Temka [501]

Answer:

Take medicine to destroy the germs.

Avoid contact with other people's bodily fluids.

Eat healthful foods such as fruits and vegetables.

Explanation:

For the spread of disease, there is usually a host who bears the infectious agent, the agent exits through a port of exit from the host, is carried by a mode of transmission, then enters a susceptible second host through a port of entry. To stop transmission, stopping the infectious agent can include;

  1. Stopping the agent from leaving the host through port of exit – e.g quarantine the patient
  2. Curtailing the modes of transmission – e.g killing disease vectors
  3. Protecting the ports of entry in the susceptible second potential host – e.g by improving immunity
