Biology

Answer:-

In reaction to the smell, sight, or thought of food, the first hormonal response is that of salivation ( starts making saliva )  The salivary glands secrete more saliva in response to the stimulus presented by food in preparation for digestion. Simultaneously, the stomach begins to produce hydrocholoric acid to digest the food  

The salivary glands are glands inside a person's mouth and throat that produce the watery and mucous-containing fluid known as saliva. Saliva is constantly released into our mouth to keep it lubricated and to help us chew and swallow food. There are three pairs of salivary glands: sublingual, parotid and submaxillary

and for the end the main digestive enzymes in your body are : -

1- Amylase, produced in the mouth. It helps break down large starch molecules into smaller sugar molecules.

2- Pepsin, produced in the stomach. Pepsin helps break down proteins into amino acids.

3- Trypsin, produced in the pancreas. Trypsin also breaks down proteins

4- Pancreatic lipase, produced in the pancreas. It is used to break apart fats.

5- Deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease, produced in the pancreas. They are enzymes that break bonds in nucleic acids like DNA and RNA

A neuron can receive thousands of EPSPs from different neurons, and responds by triggering or not triggering an action potential
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The addition and response to the net effect of postsynaptic potentials is called Spatial summation

Explanation:

Signal summation occurs when impulses received by a neuron are eummed together to reach the excitation threshold to fire a neuron. It occurs at the axon hillock of a neuron. Signal summation occurs since each neuron is connected to many other neurons, often receiving multiple impulses from them, both excitatory and inhibitory.

Signal summation can either be temporal or spatial.

Temporal summation, occurs when impulses received at the same place on the neuron in close temporal succession add up to initiate an action potential in the neuron.

Spatial summation occurs when impulses received simultaneously at different places on the neuron add up to initiate an action potential in the neuron.
