An action potential in one segment of axon causes adjacent sections of axon membrane to reach threshold through what mechanism?

Biology
1 answer:
Furkat [3]3 years ago
5 0
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The generation of local currents.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

An action potential at the axon hillock generates local currents that depolarize nearby sections of axon to threshold. This change in membrane potential causes voltage-gated Na+ channels to open in the adjacent axon segment. This generates/regenerates the action potential in the adjacent segment, causing the action potential to propagate away from the axon hillock.

An injury in which the epidermis remains intact, but blood vessels and cells in the dermis are injured,is called a(n):a.contusio
TEA [102]

Answer:

A- a  medical term for common bruise.

Explanation:

This is a type of closed wound   inflicted by a blunt object. Therefore the epidermis remains intact but there is disruption of the underlying dermis structure. Blood usually leaks from the damaged capillaries into the surrounding  areas.And this marked the meaning of contusion.

It usually affects both the bones and soft tissues.When it  occurs in the bone it is  bone contusion, muscles as muscle contusion  or as in the question;to the skin as skin contusion.

Adequate rests, cold compression, elevation of the affected part. or compression with bandage are the methods of treatment.

Bone contusion takes longer time to heal with X-ray examination,but other forms heal naturally.
