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.

Predict the dominant type of bonding by considering electronegativity.
Vlad1618 [11]
If the atoms that are bonding have identical electronegativities, then it's a completely nonpolar covalent bond. This doesn't happen in the real world unless the two atoms are of the same element. In a practical sense, any two elements with an electronegativity difference less than 0.3 is considered to be nonpolar covalent.
As the difference between the atoms increases, the covalent bond becomes increasingly polar. At a polarity difference of 1.7 (this changes depending on who you ask) we consider it no longer to be a covalent bond and to be the electrostatic interactions characteristic in an ionic compound.
Just so you know, you shouldn't take these values as exact. ALL interactions between adjacent atoms involve some sharing of electrons, no matter how big the difference in electronegativity. Sure, you wouldn't expect much sharing in KF, but there's a little sharing of electrons anyway. There's certainly no big cutoff that happens at a difference of 1.7 Pauling Electronegativity units.
