Why all vertebrae are bones but all bones are not vertebrae?

1 answer:

4 0

Well, to know the answer to this question, you must know the meaning of vertebrae. Vertebrae are just a connections of bones that make up your backbone. These include about 24 ligaments that make up your spine. So all vertebrae are bones since they are ligaments and other bones that make up, well, your backbone! However, not all bones are vertebrae, because your finger bones, ribs, skull, and other bones in your body aren't part of your backbone.

Hope this helps!

A decrease in the resting membrane potential is __________ whereas, __________ is an increase in the membrane potential.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: depolarization; hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At resting potential (absence of stimulus), the cell membrane of a neuron is said to be polarized with a net negative charge within due to more potassium (K+) ions present than sodium (Na+) ions.

However, an impressed stimuli reverses the ions content as K+ ions flows out and quickly replaced by Na+ ions, resulting in a decrease in membrane potential and a more positive cell membrane. Thus, depolarization occurs.

An increase in the membrane potential (so that it becomes more negative) is called hyperpolarization.
