The reduced potential causes hundreds of <u>voltage-gated sodium</u> channels  to open on that part of the cell membrane. The depolarization of the cell causes more of <u>voltage-gated sodium </u>channels to open in adjacent parts of the cell membrane. This begins the wave of of <u>depolarization</u>  moving down the axon. Depolarization begins at the <u>axon hillock.</u>

Explanation:

When there is no neuron signaling it becomes polarized, termed as resting membrane potential (RMP) at a threshold voltage (around -55 mV), due to the action of the sodium-potassium pump and the potassium leak channels.  

When a change in the RMP occurs, depolarization takes place which causes the voltage-gated sodium channels to open and sodium ions rush into the nerve cell which in turn will increase the voltage threshold to nearly around +40 mV and also charges the neuron positive. This depolarization moves down the axon. This increase in threshold stops the sodium influx and opens the potassium channels to rush the potassium out of the cell.

All these actions decrease the membrane potential leading to a wave of depolarization and going back to resting state. Depolarization begins depending upon the potential gradient at the axon hillock.

Which of the following movements of ocean water has the greatest direct effect on the growth of producers?
andrew-mc [135]
I believe the correct answer is upwelling. Lets say we have producers such as plankton. well upwelling currents bring dead matter from the ocean floor up to the surface, creating plankton.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) commonly causes hypogammaglobulinemia. this makes clients with cll more susceptible to infect
andrew-mc [135]

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia or the CLL  is among the most common type of leukemia affecting the adults. The lymphocytic leukemia starts in the lymphocytes. Lymphocytic leukemia is different from the lymphoma (which also occur in the lymphocytes) as it only occurs in the bone marrow and the blood. The person suffering from CLL is susceptible to an array of infections. Among the various infectious agents, the CLL patient is the most susceptible to the Staphylococcus aureus. This agent causes skin infections, pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome and many other life threatening diseases. The person becomes susceptible to its attack as the immunity of his is weakened beacuse of the damage to the lymphoctic cells.

2) If the foliation on a rock is running north-south what direction is the tectonic pressure coming from?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

if the foliation on a rock is running north-south, the pressure might be vertical (for instance, up to down)

Explanation:

The pressure is the second most principal factor that influences metamorphic rocks. It originates from the weight of the own materials, their densities, and the deepness.  

Litostatic pressure originates from the weight of materials in the interior of the crust.

Pressure generates alignment of materials (foliation and schistosity) and mineral rotation.

There are different types of metamorphism.

Dynamic metamorphism is the one where pressure is the principal factor. It generates by tectonic conditions, and it presents mainly in failure or fracture areas. It provokes trituration and recrystallization of minerals.

Classification of the metamorphic rocks according to their structure:

  • Granulation
  • Recrystallization
  • Metasomatism
  • Massive
  • Foliation

Foliation refers to dynamic metamorphism, where pressures act and minerals orientate perpendicular to the pressure direction.

<em>According to this concept, if the foliation on a rock is running north-south, the pressure might be vertical (for instance, up to down) while minerals' weight helping in the process of foliation. </em>
