Answer:

Myelin sheath

Explanation:

Myelin sheath cover the axon of neurons and act as insulator for the faster transmission of signals.

Each axon is covered by multiple myelin sheaths and the gap between myelin sheath are known as Nodes of Ranvier.

In CNS myelin sheath is composed of glial cell called as oligodendrocytes and in PNS the myelin sheath is composed of Sachwann cells (glial cells).

Fynjy0 [20]

Albert, a student researcher, varies the amount of food given to rats in an experiment to measure the effect on their learning behavior. In albert's study, the amount of food given is the independent variable.

An independent variable is under the control of the experimenter. Independent variable does not depend on the other variables involved in the experiment. Since the amount of food is varied, it is not depending on other variables like size of mice, weight, etc.

Answer:

Uhh-

Explanation:

Bruh there's no pic so ... I dunno lol. Just in case this helps you, hypothesis means an educated guess. There's different meanings, for science it's an idea. But mostly it means guessing.

missive segment is the axon hillock. The main activity that occurs at the transmissive segment is the release of neurotransmitte

Mumz [18]

Explanation:

The main activity that occurs at the transmissive segment is the release of neurotransmitter from synaptic vesicles . Prior to the arrival of the action potential, Ca2+ pumps embedded in the plasma membrane of a synaptic knob establish a calcium concentration gradient by pumping it out to the IF. Consequently, there is more calcium inside of the synaptic knob than outside it.

Further Explanation:

At synaptic junctions:

The action potential travels along the membrane until the synapse where it’s electrical depolarization leads to the opening of channels allowing Ca2+ to rush into the terminal due to higher extracellular concentrations
these flow through a presynaptic membrane until the concentration is built up, activating ion sensitive proteins attached to vesicles containing neurotransmitters
this leads to changes in the proteins leading to the fusion with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, so vesicles are open and neurotransmitter is released. The neurotransmitter diffuses across to chemical receptors on the presynaptic cell where they bind temporarily
This leads to activation of specific complexes, enabling the transmission of information. Thus, the chemical signal is transferred through this neuron as an electrical impulse
