Answer:

No.this does not cause action potential.

Explanation:

Action potential is formed from the  influx of sodium ions through the special  sodiun channels call  volatage gated channels.

The influx caused deoplarisation and if upto to  the threshold level give action potential.

The  influx of sodium and out flux at the  node of  Ranvier does not lead to action potential neither does  hydrolysis of ATPs  for its active transports process.

The sodium pump is for maintenance of  electrochemical gradients with potassium for maintaining Resting Membrane Potential of the neuron.

Name a difference between a vein and artery
Yuki888 [10]
Arteries like veins, are tube-shaped vessels that carry blood in the body. 
But the difference is that the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. But the veins carry poor-oxygen blood back from the body to the heart! 
I hope this helps! :)

"L<span>ieutenants" </span>responsible for an area of the prison, such as recreation or the shu.

The Secure Housing Unit or in short SHU, or isolation facility of a maximum security jail. While in fact, SHU can be utilized to portray any jail's isolation facility, it normally alludes to the unit of the Pelican Bay State Jail , situated in Folsom, California. The term SHU (articulated "SHOE") suggests the lodging unit itself and additionally the Draconian arrangements that contain its operations program. The objective of the program is to "screen, control and separate" around 1,200 of the most unstable and risky detainees in the California prison framework.
