The brain stem consists of the ________. The brain stem consists of the ________. cerebrum, pons, midbrain, and medulla midbrain
, medulla, and pons pons, medulla, cerebellum, and midbrain midbrain only
1 answer:
Answer:
midbrain, medulla, and pons
Explanation:
The brainstem (also known as truncus encephali) is localized in the posterior part of the brain, in the base between cerebral hemispheres and the cervical cord. <em>It's divided into three parts, the midbrain or mesencephalon, the pons or mesencephalon, and the medulla oblongata also known as long medulla or myelencephalon.</em> <em>In the image I added you can see the brainstem structure.</em>
Some of the brainstem functions include the regulation of respiratory and cardiac function, thermoregulation, and other functions related to vision, sleep, etc.

Given question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.
Answer:
C. Excessive potassium has diffused out causing hyperpolarization.
Explanation:
The nerve action potential can be divided into following stages:
- Stimulus is detected by the cell in resting stage.
- Sodium channels in the membrane open from where influx of sodium ions occur which is called depolarization
- After a while, sodium channels close and potassium channels open from where efflux of potassium ions occur which is called repolarization.
- The membrane potential further lowers due to continous efflux of potassium ions which is called hyperpolarization.
- After a while potassium channels close and membrane returns to its resting stage.
In the given figure, stage 4 depicts hyperpolarization because the membrane potential has dropped to the lowest point below -70mV. Hence, option C is correct.
