The right answer is: an elderly person.
Food poisoning makes people sick at any age, but among seniors, whose immune systems are more vulnerable and weaker, the consequences can be dramatic. That's why caring for an elderly person at home is a good way to make sure they eat healthy and safe.
Answer:
e. whether or not the impulse begins in the CNS
Explanation:
Nerve impulse is action potential movement through the axon. Nerve impulse propagation has its velocity (speed at which nerve impulse travels down the axon) which depends on many factors. For example, myelination increases the conduction velocity. Also, the larger the diameter of an axon, the higher the velocity is. Nodes of Ranvier present on the axons, and myelin sheath between the nodes act as a good electrical insulator which also increases the velocity.
Out of the following given choices;
<span>A. </span>The sodium channels would open and close randomly, regardless of the presence of light.
<span>B. </span>The sodium channels would remain closed in the light and the dark, even when cGMP decreases after light stimulation.
<span>C. </span>The sodium channels would remain open in the dark and close rapidly to the light.
<span>D. </span>The sodium channels would remain open longer, even when cGMP decreases after light stimulation.
The answer is D. cGMP maintain the sodium channels open when there is no light stimulation. This ensures that there is high intracellular Ca2+ concentration due to the Na+/Ca2+-K+ exchanger. When cGMP is hydrolyzed in light stimulation cascade, the channels close causing hyperpolarization of the rod cells.
