Answer:

This is achieved because the sodium channels have a refractory period following activation, during which they cannot open again. This ensures that the action potential is propagated in a specific direction along the axon.

Because the sodium channels have a refractory period following activation, during which they cannot open again. This ensures that the action potential is propagated in a specific direction along the axon. Sodium (Na+) ions flow in, potassium (K+) ions flow out, and we get an electrochemical gradient flowing down the length of the cell. ... Therefore, nerve impulses cannot travel in the opposite direction, because nerve cells only have neurotransmitter storage vesicles going one way, and receptors in one place.

sattari [20]

Answer:

2.8 mm

Explanation:

given,

diameter of field at 40x is equal to 5.6

diameter of field at 80 x = ?

Field of view is the circle you see when you look through the ocular lens of the microscope.

when you  use  80 X                    

then the diameter of the field of view becomes =

                                           = \dfrac{5.6}{2}

                                           = 2.8 mm

so, when we use 80 X the diameter becomes half of 40 X
