Answer:

The answer to the question: Where does the stimulus occur in order to initiate an AP, would be, B: Dendrites.

Explanation:

When an impulse is to be generated and passed on as an action potential towards a corresponding neuronal cell, and a final affected organ, the neurons need first to be stimulated so that an action potential begins. This stimulus comes as a neurotransmitter released by other neurons near the one that will be stimulated. This neurotransmitter will bind to the receptors on the dendrites of the neuron to be stimulated and immediately this will cause the ion channels, gated and non-gated, to open and close so that an action potential can be initiated. The cell body then initiates the first action potential, and will in turn stimulate the axon to also start their own action potential, which will, like a domino effect, move down to the axon terminals. This process will be followed all along a neuronal circuit.

The implementation of nutritional counseling for pregnant women best represents which public health strategy

VashaNatasha [74]

The implementation of nutritional counseling for pregnant women best represents Active Primary Prevention.

<h3>What is primary prevention?</h3>

Prevention includes a wide range of activities (interventions) which are aimed at reducing risks or threats to health.
There are three categories of prevention: primary, secondary and tertiary.
Primary prevention aims to prevent disease or injury before it ever occurs. This is done by preventing exposures to hazards that cause disease or injury, altering unhealthy or unsafe behaviors that can lead to disease or injury.
It includes measures that a patient can take to avoid some diseases. These include hand washing, immunization, birth control and condoms, etc.
Passive prevention strategies are those that do not require action by an individual for protection to occur; individuals are automatically protected. E.g.: Airbags in cars
Active prevention strategies are those that require individual action for the intervention to be effective. E.g.: Wearing seat belt, nutritional counselling
