Explanation:

<u>-how long it takes for the voltage-gatedNa+ channels to close at the end of an action potential</u>

Neurons have unique structures which aid in facilitating communication by sending and receiving electrical signals very efficient.

The refractory period describes a period between the initiation of an action potential where Na+ channels are closed, and immediately after the action potential’s peak. Action potentials would require an influx of more positively charged ions; these must be more than a specific threshold in order to have the cells send along more action potentials which helps with figuring out stimulus intensity.

Potassium ions readily diffuse out of the cell more quickly than sodium due to the presence of more channels which allow for potassium leakage. The sodium pumps in neuronal membranes bring more Na+ than K+ ions into the cell; with every three sodium ions pumped out two potassium ions are brought in- this is in order to maintain the negatively charged membranes within the cell along with the resting potential.

A)what would happen to the quantity of sweat when temperature increases? explain why it happen.
Brrunno [24]

i'm sorry i didn't understand b and c but i can help you with a)

Explanation:

The human body has the ability to thermoregulate, so when the temperature rises, the blood vessels dilate, and the body emits more heat than it receives, and therefore sweat is released to cool the body. Hence, the higher the temperature the greater the sweating

hope it helps ;)
