Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "The receptor potential is carried by neuroglia".

Explanation:

Neuroglia is a term used to describe a class of cells which main function is to support the neurons. The term neuroglia include astrocytes, ependymal cells and oligodendrocyte. It is false to affirm that the receptor potential is carried by neuroglia, the receptor potential is carried out by the neurons.

Answer:

b.The receptor potential is carried by neuroglia.

When   receptor cells   responded to a stimulus of touch, pressure,lights, (which is up to the threshold levels)  they produce an action potential.Such potential generated by the cell is called Receptor potential.

They are transducers cells  which  converts different forms of stimulus to electrical signals in the neurons.

The reversal of charges  due to stimuli of touch, smell, light or chemical substances cause depolarization  and   generates action potential. If this is up to the threshold levels, action potential is propagated along the sensory neuron to the  cerebral cortex of the brain.

Neuroiglia   are cells of the CNS and PNS. that provide<u> support</u> and<u> protection to </u> the neurons. They do not transmit electrical signals as action potential. The transmission of action potential is done by the sensory neurons.

You've just read a research project titled: "Prolonged cell phone use causes brain tumors."
kvasek [131]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) number of patients with brain tumors</em>

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, an independent variable is a variable which is being changed by the scientist or changes naturally. The effect of the independent variable is studied on another variable which is termed as the dependent variable. Hence, the dependent variable can be described as the variable which is under study in a scientific experiment.

In the following scenario, as the effect of prolonged cell phones is being tested on causing brain tumors hence, the number of patients with brain tumors will be the dependent variable.

What’s the answer to this earth science question?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

option 1

Explanation:

The warm waters of the Gulf Stream run along the east coast of the United States. This provides an environment which is conducive to the development of hurricanes. The basics of the formation of a hurricane are as follows. Winds start blowing in a circular motion. This causes hot, moist air to rise. Clouds are formed and the winds start blowing faster and faster. This forms a low-pressure zone. The surrounding high-pressure zones pull the hurricane towards them. As the hurricane moves, it either picks up speed or decreases its speed and intensity.
