Briefly explain why the action potential flows only from the axon hillock to the terminal web.

Biology
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago
6 0
Answer;
The action potential originates from the axon hillock which initiates the flow of the presence of higher density voltage-gated ion channels.

Explanation;
Action potentials are initiated at a low threshold (trigger zone) which is more excitable than any other part of the soma or dendrites. The trigger zone is located at the axon initial segment, called the axon hillock, contains the highest density of sodium gated voltage gated ion channels.

What is the difference between a density-dependent and density-independent limiting factor?
matrenka [14]
Density-dependent limiting factors cause a population's per capita growth rate to change—typically, to drop—with increasing population density. ... Density-independent factors affect per capita growth rate independent of population density. Examples include natural disasters like forest fires.

The lesser tubercle of the humerus is the distal skeletal attachment site for the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

It has an anterior and posterior face. The greater tubercle serves as attachment site for three of the rotator cuff muscles – supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor – they attach to superior, middle and inferior facets respectively. The lesser tubercle is much smaller, and more medially located on the bone

What disease are heterozygous individuals more humans?
Igoryamba
Heterozygous is a term used in genetics to describe when two variations of a gene (known as alleles) are paired at the same location (locus) on a chromosome. By contrast, homozygous is when there are two copies of the same allele at the same locus.

The term heterozygous is derived from "hetero-" meaning different and "-zygous" meaning related to a fertilized egg (zygote).

Determining Traits
Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each locus, with one allele inherited from each parent. The specific pairing of alleles translates to variations in an individual’s genetic traits.


An allele can either be dominant or recessive. Dominant alleles are those that express a trait even if there is only one copy. Recessive alleles can only express themselves if there are two copies.

One such example is brown eyes (which is dominant) and blue eyes (which is recessive). If the alleles are heterozygous, the dominant allele would express itself over the recessive allele, resulting in brown eyes. At the same time, the person would be considered a "carrier" of the recessive allele, meaning that the blue eye allele could be passed to offspring even if that person has brown eyes.

Alleles can also be incompletely dominant, an intermediate form of inheritance where neither
