I believe that the difference in ratio depends upon the Precision needed to move the muscle. A single impulse of a motor neuron produces a single twitch of a muscle fiber. The physical effects for the twitch last longer than the AP, because of the elasticity of the muscle and the time required to rid the cell of Ca2+. The strength of a muscular contraction is determined by the average rate of firing of the various motor units. If, at a given moment, many units are firing, the contraction will be forceful.

Blood flows to the brain through the _____ arteries and away from the brain through the _____ vein.
Evgesh-ka [11]
Blood flows to the brain through the internal carotid and vertebral arteries and away from the brain through the internal jugular vein. The internal carotid artery supplies the brain, while the external carotid nourishes other portions of the head, such as the face, skull, scalp and the meninges. The vertebral arteries provide supply to the upper spinal cord, brainstem, cerebellum, and the posterior part of the brain.

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy

Explanation:

It can neither be created nor destroyed or only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy... unless it's added from the outside. I hope this helps.
