Answer: Anaesthesia blocks or impairs impulse transmission which helps patients not to feel pain during surgery

Explanation: . Local anesthesia affects the neural processes usually at the nodes of Ranvier by reducing the rate at which sodium ions(which are positive) flow through the membranes. Local anesthetics blocks sodium influx into the cell membranes ensuring that the minimum threshold for transmission is not reached thereby causing no pain.

General anesthesia on the other hand opens Chloride ions(which are negative ions) channel thereby allowing chloride to flow into the cell membranes causing hyperpolarization. As the negative ions increase, this shifts the membrane potential away from the minimum threshold thereby blocking the pain during surgery.

Why were the people of Moscow treated differently than the farmers in the U.S.S.R?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Moscow was the capital of USSR and was more of an urban area. The political elite of the USSR lived there and their concerns were different from what the envisioned for the rest of the Soviet Union.

Explanation:

Farming in USSR was mostly done through collective farming. In fact, the Soviet government did not want private cultivation of land and instead encouraged and even forced people for collective farming.

The Soviet Union bevelled that most peasant farmers were 'reluctant' revolutionaries and if left on their own, might want to counter the soviet government.

Collective farming was a way to not just control food supplies but also subject peasants under a disciplined system of government control.
