Answer:

Both A and B

A. An action potential would be generated that would travel to the synapse with the next neuron.

B. An action potential would be generated that would travel back towards the cell body

Explanation:

An action potential can be define as a process that occurs when axon receives the information sent down by neuron from the cell body.

An action potential make it possible for neuron to help transport electrical signal and this happens when the neurons generate and conduct these signals along their processes in order to transport them to the target tissues or to the next neuron and this action potential will as well be generated in order to travel back towards the cell body.

The action potential often begins in the nerve fibre because it enables graded potential to reach the threshold potential which in turn causes an ACTION POTENTIAL.

Therefore in action potential the membrane potential of the location of the cell often rise and fall.

Axon or nerve fibre also helps to transport information to various neuron.

Answer: The correct answer is (D) Both A and B

Explanation:

When an axon is depolarized at halfway to the threshold level,the action potential will be generated that would travel 'downstream' i.e towards the synapse and 'upstream' i.e back towards the cell body. This is because both channels on either sides are not under refractory period,i.e they are open.

PtichkaEL [24]
The future of healthcare will probably shift towards covering over more issues/illnesses that are caused or related to lack of physical activity ; Running, Jogging, Swimming, Sports, etc. for the general public. This won't really effect people as healthcare plans are chosen by the recipient of it in most cases.

Discuss three ways to support the mother/baby dyad.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Dyad care incorporates care to the mother and newborn child while they are in close physical nearness (ideally skin-to-skin) with the understanding that suitable consideration of one must address the necessities and premiums of the other.  These are some physiological changes that are need to be include under dayd care:

placental transfusion of around 35 ml of blood for every kilogram of baby weight, which joined with diminished weight in the lungs, helps with the commencement of infant breath and powerful gas exchange,

vasodilation of the maternal shallow veins in the chest to trade heat with the infant,  

infant reflexes including "the bosom slither" and self-connection at the breast,  

removal of the placenta and involution of the uterus, and  

interconnected hormonal movements, including raised oxytocin levels for mother and newborn child, expanded oxytocin receptors in the mother's cerebrum, diminished beta-endorphin levels, a quick reduction in stress hormones (particularly epinephrine), top degrees of prolactin, and expanded prolactin receptors.
