<h2>Sodium channels </h2>

Explanation:

Depolarization is a result of sodium channels opening as a result of chemical or pressure-based stimuli    

  • Depolarization starts when a threshold stimulus applied on a neuron via Na+ mechanically operated channels that trigger action potential
  • Action potential is an efficient signaling process by which distantly located cells communicate to each other
  • Depolarization of membrane potential is due to influx of Na+ via voltage gated Na+ channels
  • Fast opening of voltage gated Na+ channel shifts membrane potential from -70mV to + 50mV at which voltage gated Na+ channels become inactive thus influx of Na+ abruptly stops

Which of the following is most consistent with the modern theory of evolution​
Alecsey [184]

The correct answer is Parents pass their physical traits to their offspring; those offspring with traits that help them survive in their environment are able to reproduce.

Explanation:

The modern theory of evolution explains the mechanisms that make organisms change. One of the main ideas this theory proposes is that organisms with traits that help them survive or reproduce have higher chances to pass their genes and traits to new generations. This mechanism makes certain traits to be favored and contributes to the evolution of organisms because after multiple generations certain traits will prevail while others will be eliminated.

Moreover, this theory specifies genes in an organism are not acquired or modified during its life but these are the results of the traits passed to the organism by its parents and evolution occurs only after a long time or multiple generations. According to this, the first option is the correct one.

Explain the effect that extreme vagus nerve stimulation had on the heart. how well did the results compare with your prediction?
BaLLatris [955]
For the answer to the question above, I believe that the answer to your question is that the heart rate will decrease if there's an extreme vagus nerve stimulation <span>The vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is the "fight or flight" part of the autonomic nervous system, whereas the parasympathetic is the "feed or breed" part. The sympathetic side acts to speed things up; it increases heart rate, the blood pressure, also the respiratory rate, it dilates pupils, shunts blood away from the GI tract, and so on...
The parasympathetic the opposite in which acts to slow things down; it lowers down the heart rate or decrease blood pressure, it increases salivation, increase blood flow to the GI tract, and so on. The two systems are always balancing each other. The confusing part is that when you INCREASE the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system you DECREASE the activity of the heart; so increased vagal tone will slow the heart rate, decreases the contractility, and lowers blood pressure. When the heart is excitable and has certain types of arrhythmia, increasing the vagal stimulation can slow the heart down enough to allow the normal pacemaker functions to take over again also called as converting.</span>
