When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal of a motor neuron, which ion channels open?

Biology
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Calcium voltage gated ion channels

Explanation:

There are two types of ion channels involved in the neuromuscular junction and end plate potentials: voltage-gated ion channel (responsive to changes in membrane voltage which cause the voltage gated ion channel to open) and ligand-gated ion channel (responsive to certain molecules such as neurotransmitters).

The resting membrane potential of a motor neuron goes from -70mV to -50 with a higher concentration of sodium outside and a higher concentration of potassium inside. <em>When an action potential propagates down a nerve and reaches the axon terminal of the motor neuron, the change in membrane voltage causes the calcium voltage gated ion channels to open allowing for an influx of calcium ions. </em>These calcium ions cause the acetylcholine vesicles  to release acetylcholine via exocytosis into the synaptic cleft.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The source of passive immunity that a mother gives to her infant through breast milk is known as __________.
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is- IgA

Explanation:

There are five types or class of antibodies found in the human body these are IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE, and IgG. Out of these five class IgA antibody is found in an abundant amount in the mother's milk or colostrum.

Infant take this antibody from the mother through breastfeeding which protects the infant from may pathogenic microbes. The immunity in which antibodies are taken from outside is called passive immunity.

Therefore the passive immunity source that is given by the mother to baby through breast milk is called IgA.
