Answer:

electrical synapse

Explanation:

An electrical synapse provides channel of proteins referred to as gap though which two neurons are connected. This connection allows the electrical signal to travel from cell to the other. Electrical synapses are commonly found in the brain and nervous system of an organism

In this synapse, there is a passive flow of ions from one neuron to the other through the gap junction pores. The neuron from which the current flows is called as presynaptic element and is also referred to as upstream neuron while the neuron which receives the current is called as postsynaptic or downstream neuron.

Water can "defy gravity" and climb uphill? True or false. Why or why not
harina [27]
The answer is actually <u>true</u><u>.</u>

The starting point of all rivers is higher than their end point. However, under the right conditions, small amounts of water can be drawn upwards, against the tug of gravity, through a phenomenon known as "capillary action". For this to occur, however, the water must be confined into a small flow space.

Hope this helps!  If it does, would you mind marking my answer as Brainliest? Thanks :D

A postmenopausal female client diagnosed with osteoporosis asks the nurse how a decrease in estrogen can cause problems with bon
larisa [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis refers to a condition that weakens the bone, and enhances the threat of unanticipated and sudden fractures, also known as porous bones. It leads to an enhanced loss of bone mass and strength. The disease often advances without any kind of pain or signs.  

There is a direct association between the reduction of estrogen post menopause and the emergence of osteoporosis. Postmenopause, the breakdown or resorption of bone takes over the formation of novel bone. Estrogen diminishes the function and number of osteoclasts. Thus, the reduction in the levels of estrogen after menopause leads to bone loss.
