Neurotransmission is unidirectional insofar as chemical and electrical conduction is concerned within the individual neuron. Of

jasenka [17]

Answer: The correct option is C (Dendrites, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminals)

Explanation:

The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called NEUROTRANSMISSION.

The order of neurotransmitter/receptor interaction that results in an electrical signal impulse and the release of another neurotransmitter for interaction in the synaptic cleft (signal conduction through a neuron) is from Dendrites--> Cell body--> Axon-->Axon terminals>

DENDRITES extends from the cell body of a neurone to receive messages at neuromuscular junction from other neurons. The CELL BODY directs all activities to the axon. The AXON is a long single fibre that transmits messages from the cell body and ends in terminals forming a synapse. Nerve impulses arrives at the axon terminal causing the release of neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters binds to receptors at the dendrites of another neurons. The electrical signal impulses generated causes the release of neurotransmitters in another neuron.

Estrogens from the vesicular follicle trigger an LH surge from the anterior pituitary. This is an example of: Estrogens from the

brilliants [131]

Answer:

The correct answer is: positive feedback.

Explanation:

Positive and negative feedback are terms that are used to define the way a system is regulated by its products. For example, when the production of a certain substance inhibits its producer that is called negative feedback. On the other hand, when a substance stimulates its producer to keep secreting said substance, this is called positive feedback.

Estrogen is a hormone of great importance in the female reproductive cycle and is secreted by the follicle cells in response to the presence of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), released by the anterior pituitary when stimulated by the GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone).

Estrogen appears at the beginning of the cycle to stimulate the development of the ovarian follicles, and the hormone levels continue to rise as the cycle advances. Up until the 14th day of the cycle, estrogen has a negative feedback on GnRH and FSH, but then it makes an abrupt change to now exert positive feedback on GnRH to stimulate the release of LH (luteinizing hormone), which will be responsible for ovulation.
