Transmission of impulses along a neuron in the vertebrate nervous system ordinarily occurs in only one direction because, follow

ing passage of an action potential, the neuron is temporarily in a refractory period or hyperpolarized. This is caused by which answer choice?

6 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be - the potassium ions continue to move out of the axon.

Explanation:

During transmission of the impulse when sodium channels are closed and potassium channels are open, the cell membrane of the axon cell becomes hyperpolarized due to the continuous movement of the potassium ion to outside the axon. During this refractory period, the impulse can not be fire or generated.

Thus, the correct answer would be - the potassium ions continue to move out of the axon.

Use the principles of diffusion to explain why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung diffuse into the blood because the concentration of oxygen in the lung's tissues is more than the concentration of oxygen in the blood.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the molecule to the region of lower concentration of the same molecule. Molecules in diffusion move <em>downward the concentration</em> <em>gradient</em> created by difference in concentration between two regions until an <em>equilibrium (equal concentration in the two regions)</em> is established.

Oxygen molecules diffuse into the tissues of the lung when an organism breathes-in during the process of breathing. The molecules in the now oxygen-rich tissues eventually start diffusing into the blood in the lung because the blood passing through the lung is always de-oxygenated or has lower oxygen concentration compared to the tissues of the lung.

Oxygenated blood moves into the heart, pumps round the body by the heart, gets depleted of oxygen and eventually find its way back to the lung where the process is repeated.

Diffusion of oxygen from the tissues of the lung into the blood will keep happening as long as oxygen keeps getting dissolved into the lung's tissues and an equilibrium is yet to be established between the tissues and the blood.

Which of the three tests included in McGill’s torso muscular endurance test battery is a timed test involving a static, isometri
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Trunk flexor endurance test.

Explanation:

McGill’s torso muscular test is generally used to assess the muscle endurance of the torso muscles that works as a stabilizer. This test generally includes the four major test.

The test that includes the trunk flexor of the endurance test is a timed test that involves the static isometric contraction of the muscles. This test stabilizes the spine til the individual cannot hold the assumed position and the individual exhibits the fatigue.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0 m/s.

Explanation:

In this position-time graph or distance-time graph, there are three different part that shows three different velocities one in increasing as it moves from a lower position in relative to time and one is stationary and the third is decreasing.

'Straight lines' on a distance-time graph suggest that the movement of the object is constant. During 'Part B' of the journey the object travels 0m in 3s. It is stationary for 3 seconds so the velocity will be zero as well.
