#3. neocortex #4. old brain

The part of the brain which is affected is reasoning center of the new brain. Drinking alcohol also decreases motor function and slow reaction time, this is why when a person is drunk, he/she may not be able to stand or walk a straight line. Psychoactive drug or psychotropic substance is a chemical substance that acts primarily upon the central nervous system where it alters brain function resulting in temporary changes in perception, mood, consciousness and behavior.

Which two of these characteristics does an organism with bilateral symmetry possess?
Oksanka [162]
<span>Choices (b) and (c) are the most correct. Bilateral symmetry requires a central axis for there to be two halves. In addition, this type of symmetry requires a head, which will encounter the environment before any other part of the body and move in the direction of travel. Most animals exhibit this characteristic.</span>

Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: ____________ and ____________. A ne
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: irritability and conductivity. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the sodium potassium pump. This system moves sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative, not only due to the active transport system but also because of intracellular proteins, which remain negative due to the intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells with the capacity to transmit information between one another and also with other tissues in the body. This information is transmitted thanks to the release of substances called <em>neurotransmitters</em>, and this transmission is possible due to the <em>electrical properties </em>of the neurons.

For the neurons (and other excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells) to be capable of conducting the changes in their membranes' voltages, they need to have a<em> resting membrane potential</em>, which consists of a specific voltage that is given because of the electrical nature of both the inside and the outside of the cell. <u>The inside of the cell is negatively charged, while the outside is positively charged</u> - this is what generates the resting membrane potential. When the membrane voltage changes because the inside of the cell is becoming less negative, the neuron is being excited and - if this excitation reaches a threshold - an action potential will be fired. But how does the voltage changes? This happens because the distribution of ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids is very dissimilar and when the sodium channels in the cell membrane are opened (because of an external stimulus), sodium enters the cell rapidly to balance out the difference in this ion concentration. The sudden influx of this positively-charged ion is what makes the inside of the neuron become less negative. This event is called <em>depolarization of the membrane</em>.

Which group of air pollutants tend to cool the atmosphere because they reflect more sunlight back to space thus reducing incomin
kondaur [170]

Answer:

D. atmospheric aerosols.

Explanation:

<em>Atmospheric aerosols are tiny particles that float in the air. These particles could be liquid or solid and are usually suspended primarily by direct emission into the atmosphere or secondarily by condensation process. </em>

Atmospheric aerosols have numerous effects on the biotic and abiotic factors of the environment. They alter air quality and impact human health in some cases, they can reduce atmospheric visibility, and they also reduce the amount of radiation that reaches the earth by scattering or reflecting some of the radiations from the sun back into space, leading to cooling of the atmosphere.
