Action potentials (i.e. nerve impulses) occur in several types of animal cells<span>, called </span>excitable cells<span>, which include </span>neurons<span>, </span>muscle cells<span>, </span>endocrine<span> cells, and in some </span>plant cells<span>. </span><span>It takes around 40 action potentials for a smell sensation to be reported.</span>
Another important function of microfilaments is to help divide the cell during mitosis (cell division) microfilaments aid the process of cytokinesis which is when the cell “pinches off” and physically separated into two daughter cells
The reasons why 241am smoke detectors are perfectly safe is because;
(i) The amount of americium is very little.
(ii) The aluminium core is where the detector is hosted.
(iii) The detector has a plastic cover.
(iv) Radiation is limited in penetrating power.
(v) There is a low number which is leaving the case.
(iv) ions get trapped by electrodes.
