If a neurotransmitter attaches to a ligand-gated channel and creates a potential that causes the inside of the excitable cell me
leva [86]

Answer:

If a neurotransmitter attaches to a ligand-gated channel and creates a potential that causes the inside of the excitable cell membrane to become less negative, and this potential travels only a short distance before dying out, it is considered to be a <u>Graded or local potential</u>

Explanation:

<em>Graded potentials, also known as local or generator, are generated by an excitatory neurotranmitter, usually a ligan gated channel</em>, they occur at a localized place on the cell and their potentials are smaller (from 1-50mV) and its magnitude depends on the strength of the stimulus.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A(n) _________ scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray.
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer;

-PET scan

A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray

Explanation;

-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.

-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.
