Stimuli alter the activity of excitable sensory cells and generate action potentials via _____.

Biology
1 answer:
vlada-n [284]3 years ago
6 0
TRANSDUCTION. This refers to the stimulus being converted into an action potential which is then transmitted in the axons going to the central nervous system. This usually starts at the receptor cell. The stimulus change the electrical potential across the cell membrane. This will result in depolarization of the membrane which allow the action potential to be transmitted towards the brain where the electrical impulse is integrated. This usually happens in sensory cells in the body such as vestibular apparatus, olfactory cells, the retina and even the nerve endings alls over our body.

Which organelle carries substances to other parts of the cell?
STALIN [3.7K]
The answer will be Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER).

It is a kind of channel that carries substances, such as proteins, oil droplets, water, to other parts of the cell.

Well, to make it easier, endoplasmic reticulum is actually a fancy way of saying "cellular highway". I will explain to you why. I always like to study BIOLOGY relating our activities and our stuff. 

Okay, let's push aside cells. Let's think of us, humans. We can't stay in one place, we gotta moving all around the city. What do we use for moving around the city: either roads or sidewalks or footpaths.

Just like that, a cell also has a medium or road or a channel where all the substances can move around the cell. Well, its ER! So, from now on, everytime you are struggling with this difficult, L O N G word, just replace it with "cellular highway". The ER is like a water pipe, too. Water flows through it. Here, cellur substances flow through it. The ER is connected to the nucleus.

SUMMARY:

1# ER aka Endoplasmic Reticulum is a kind of channel that carries substances, such as proteins, oil droplets, water, to other parts of the cell.

2# 
Try thinking it easy: replace it with "cellular highway".

3# 
It is much like the roads or sidewalks, we walk on.

What are 3 characteristics of a solid?
STALIN [3.7K]

Liquids will flow and fill up any shape of container. Solids like to hold their shape. In the same way that a large solid holds its shape, the atoms inside of a solid are not allowed to move around too much. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want.

Unsaved Nerve cells called _______________ form networks within the body (like a system of wires), in order to communicate with
Dafna11 [192]
The correct answer is "neurons".
Neurons are nerve cells which connect to each other using synapses and form neural networks. They exhibit high levels of specialization and are the primary components of the central nervous system.

Myofibrils are contractile fibers which form the striated muscle cells. Sarcomeres are the structural unit of the myofibrils.

How is mass wasting different from other forms of erosion?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Examples of mass wasting are slides, falls, creeps, and flows.  Mass wasting processes are easily observable because they happen fast and suddenly and the changes are vividly evident in very short bit of time.   However, other methods of erosion such as mechanical and physical weathering occur very slowly and it would take many years for the changes associated wth their proceses to be vivid to the naked eye.

Scientific Question: What is the effect of major flooding events on adult and juvenile trout
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The population decreases.

Explanation:

Flood has a very adverse effect on the population of both adult and juvenile trout that lives in the streams because the trouts which has less than one year age are not good swimmers so they can't with stand with the fast flow of water during flood condition so the population of both adult and juvenile trout decreases in that stream in which flood occurs.
