Answer:

Opening of sodium channels

Explanation:

Sodium channels play important roles in transmission of nerve impulse as well in the releasing of neurotransmitter (Acetylcholine). Both of these are dependent on sodium channels. As for the transmission of impulse the first step is depolarization of nerve cells and for depolarization the opening of sodium channels is necessary.

So the neurotransmitter released from on neuron and binds to receptors on other neuron causes the opening of sodium channels. These channels cause the influx of sodium into the neuron and alternatively cause the depolarization by making the inside of cell less negative. During this process a minor amount of potassium also move out of the membrane.

Hormones are _____.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct is B Hormones are chemical signals between cells transported in blood or hemolymph.

Explanation:

Hormones are called chemical messenger of the cell because they transmit chemical information from one cell to the target cell and regulating the functioning of that target cell by activating specific proteins related to the functioning of that target cell.

Hormone is secreted from its source gland such as Pituitarygland, thyroid gland,adrenal gland.After being secreted hormones are transported via the blood stream to the target cell and binds to receptor of that target cell thus allowing the target cell to exert its biological function.
