Explain what occurs during a nerve impulse. what is saltatory conduction\

1 answer:

8 0

During a nerve impulse, At the end of the axon from which the impulse is coming, the membrane depolarizes, gated ion channels open, and calcium ions (Ca2+) are allowed to enter the cell. When the calcium ions rush in, a chemical called a neurotransmitter is released into the synapse. The neurotransmitter binds with receptors on the neuron. A saltatory conduction is the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next node, increasing the conduction velocity of action potentials.

Which statement regarding the relative ages of rocks and events is

taurus [48]

Answer:

C. Faults are younger than the youngest layer they cut through.

Explanation:

A. Intrusive rock is older than the surrounding rock layers. WRONG. The intrusive rocks are those that solidify underground and always form after the ones around them. So they are younger than the surrounding rocks.

B. A fold is older than the oldest rock layer it contains. WRONG. First, layers are set, and then, it occurs the folding. The folding is always younger than the involved layers.

C. Faults are younger than the youngest layer they cut through. RIGHT. A fault is a cut through different layers that occurs when the sedimentary rock breaks transversally. It occurs always after the sedimentary rock is already formed. So the fault is always younger than all the layers it cuts through.

D. Rock layers that have been overturned are oldest from the base to the surface. WRONG. If overturned, according to the superposition low, layers are oldest from the surface to the base. Superposition law states that during the sedimentary rock formation, the oldest layer is always that one at the bottom, while the younger layer is the higher one.
