Biology

harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because once a Voltage Gated Sodium Channels closes up after depolarization, they can not be reopened.The  transmission  of action potential is such a way that  they are propagated one after the other in a forward direction, and never backwards. Thus once a sodium channel depolarizes,it closes up,  to under go a shot rest.No matter the strength of the next stimulus it will not open. Then the channel ahead of it opens to depolarise  to conduct action  potential, this again after shut opening closes up for the channel ahead to open.  This short period of rest when the sodium channels closes up  is called refractive period.  However after sometime of rest the rested sodium channels open, from the inactivated stage to conduct action potential.

In order to perceive forms and patterns from incoming stimuli, individuals utilize____.

Group of answer choices.

A. feature analysis

B. change blindness

C. selective attention

D. inattentional blindness

Answer:

A. feature analysis

Explanation:

Stimulus can be defined as an obvious change in either the chemical or physical structure of an organism' environment (either external or internal). Thus, all living organisms (both animals and plants) respond to changes in their environment and consequently, an appropriate response or reaction is made. Also, stimulus arising from within the organism is known as internal stimulus while those from its environment are known as the external stimulus.

In organisms, the specialized cells that detect stimulus are generally known as sensory receptors while a group of these receptors is referred to as sense organ. Therefore, the senses are necessary for behavior because stimuli must be sensed in order to respond.

Stimulus control can be defined as a phenomenon that arises when a living organism responds or behaves in the presence of a stimulus and in another way in the absence of a stimulus.

For example, opening the door of a microwave oven as soon as its timer beeps.

Example II; When your body touches a hot object, you quickly move away and feel some pain subsequently.

In order to perceive forms and patterns from incoming stimuli, individuals utilize feature analysis of the signals from the environment.

Which is the most atypical connective tissue since it does not connect things or provide structural support?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Blood

Explanation:

Connective tissue consists of extracellular matrix and cells. The main function of connective tissue is to bind the other tissues together, provide them support and strength. Blood is one of the liquid connective tissue that does not perform such functions. The presence of liquid extracellular matrix (plasma) and formed elements (blood cells) makes it a connective tissue. It serves in the transport of nutrients, gases, wastes, hormones, etc. It also takes part in immune responses but does not strength or support other body tissues.
