Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: ____________ and ____________. A ne
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: irritability and conductivity. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the sodium potassium pump. This system moves sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative, not only due to the active transport system but also because of intracellular proteins, which remain negative due to the intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells with the capacity to transmit information between one another and also with other tissues in the body. This information is transmitted thanks to the release of substances called <em>neurotransmitters</em>, and this transmission is possible due to the <em>electrical properties </em>of the neurons.

For the neurons (and other excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells) to be capable of conducting the changes in their membranes' voltages, they need to have a<em> resting membrane potential</em>, which consists of a specific voltage that is given because of the electrical nature of both the inside and the outside of the cell. <u>The inside of the cell is negatively charged, while the outside is positively charged</u> - this is what generates the resting membrane potential. When the membrane voltage changes because the inside of the cell is becoming less negative, the neuron is being excited and - if this excitation reaches a threshold - an action potential will be fired. But how does the voltage changes? This happens because the distribution of ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids is very dissimilar and when the sodium channels in the cell membrane are opened (because of an external stimulus), sodium enters the cell rapidly to balance out the difference in this ion concentration. The sudden influx of this positively-charged ion is what makes the inside of the neuron become less negative. This event is called <em>depolarization of the membrane</em>.

Amount of time needed for ecosystem recovery
drek231 [11]
It depends on the particular ecosystem and why and how it was destroyed. It can take just 2 years or over 100 years depending on the different factors. Sometimes ecosystems never recover.

What stages of the water cycle where water moves downward from the force of gravity
Naily [24]

Answer:

Precipitation, Surface Runoff and Infiltration process

Explanation:

There different stages of the water cycle where the water comes back on earth due to the gravitational force are as follows-

Rainfall/Precipitation- The water vapour in the cloud undergoes the process of condensation, it leads to the occurrence of rainfall, where the water comes freely over the ground surface from a certain height.

Surface Runoff- These refer to the flow of water rapidly along a steep slope, under the influence of gravity that eventually adds to the streams, lakes and rivers.

Infiltration process- This is the process where the water from the earth's surface percolates through the rocks and flows downward and eventually mixes with the groundwater.
