Immediately following the arrival of the stimulus at the axon terminal of a motor neuron there is a short period called the ____

____ period during which the neurotransmitter is released by exocytosis, diffuses across the synaptic cleft, and binds to its receptors.

Answer:

latent

Explanation:

A single action potential from a motor neuron triggers a single contraction in the muscle fibers of its motor unit. There is a brief delay between the application of the stimulus and the beginning of contraction. This delay is termed the latent period.

As the stimulus arrives axon terminal of a motor neuron, the resultant muscle action potential is propagated over the sarcolemma as the neurotransmitter is released in the synaptic cleft and binds to its receptors. There is a release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum to trigger excitation. During the latent period, muscles do not contract. The contraction period occurs once the latent period is over.

PLZ HELP!!!! I'LL GIVE BRAILLIEST!!!<br><br><br> How does a tobacco mosaic virus reproduce???
Dominik [7]

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is a simple rod-shaped helical virus that contains single stranded RNA situated at its middle and is surrounded by a protein coat called capsid. After tobacco mosaic virus enters its infected host cells through mechanical inoculation, it removes its capsid to release its single stranded viral nucleic acid which is then transported into the nucleolus. The single stranded viral RNA actuates the production of specific enzymes (RNA polymerases) and it also produces another RNA strand (replicative RNA). The new viral-RNAs are transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm and functions as messenger-RNAs (mRNAs). Each mRNA, ribosomes, and t-RNA, of the infected host cell all controls the production of protein subunits (capsomeres). After the production of the preferred capsomeres, the new viral-RNAs arrange the capsomeres around it which lead to the production of a complete virus particle (virion). The viruses then migrate from one cell to another. Hence, creating organized infection.

This particular hormone raises calcium levels in the blood and stimulates the removal of calcium from the bone through osteoclas
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Parathyroid hormone

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone is directly involved in the bones, kidneys, and the small intestine. In the bones, PTH stimulates the release of calcium in an indirect process through osteoclasts which ultimately lead to resorption of the bones.
