Some organisms that share a common ancestor have features that have different functions, but similar structures. these are known as homologous structures.
<span>Homologous structures are organs or skeletal elements of animals which are connected via a common ancestor. These structures do not have to look exactly the same or have the same function, but they are structurally similar. The example of homologous structures is the forelimbs of vertebrates. In this example, we see that the wings of bats, the arms of primates, the front flippers of whales and the forelegs of dogs and horses are all derived from the same ancestral tetrapod structure.</span>

What happens to the sodium and potassium ions when the neurons are stimulated? How does their concentration inside and outside t
stepan [7]

The two sides of a nerve cell membrane have unequally distributed ions ( Na+ and K+). Sodium is inside, while potassium is outside. Carriers actively transport them. This active transport mechanism is called Sodium-Potassium Pump. Without stimulus, sodium channels are closed while some of the potassium channels are open.

Stimulus (depolarization) will cause the sodium channels to briefly open and the positively-charged ion diffuses into the nerve cell. The membrane potential becomes positive. The potassium channels open and positively-charged potassium diffuse out. With respect to the outside, the inside will become less positive again.
