Saltatory conduction is the term describes the hopping of the action potential nerve impulse along the axon from one node of Ranvier to the next.

Saltatory conduction describes the way an electrical impulse skips from node to node down the full length of an axon, speeding the arrival of the impulse at the nerve terminal in comparison with the slower continuous progression of depolarization spreading down an unmyelinated axon.

The nodes of Ranvier are characterized by short (1um), specialized regions in the axonal membrane that are not insulated by myelin. Although it is bare of myelin at the node, the axon is in direct contact with the microvilli of the Schwann cells in the PNS.

slega [8]

Answer:

But what does “waxing and waning gibbous” mean? Rob says crescent is when you can see less than half of the moon illuminated. “Gibbous, you attach that to either waxing or waning when you see more than half of the moon illuminated,” he said. Waxing means it's getting bigger while waning means it's getting smaller.

What specifically is this biochemical used for, and how is it broken down during digestion?
Cerrena [4.2K]
Digestion occurs in the stomach and the duodenum through the action of three main enzymes: pepsin, secreted by the stomach, and trypsin and chymotrypsin, secreted by the pancreas.During carbohydrate digestion the bonds between glucose molecules are broken by salivary and pancreatic amylase.The digestion of certain fats begins in the mouth, where short-chain lipids break down into diglycerides because of lingual lipase. The fat present in the small intestine stimulates the release of lipase from the pancreas, and bile from the liver enables the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.DNA and RNA are broken down into mononucleotides by the nucleases deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease (DNase and RNase) that are released by the pancreas.
