Biological criteria of life are that an organism maintains the homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle, undergoes the catabolic and anabolic reactions, can grow, adapt to their environment, respond to stimuli, reproduce and evolve. no brainwave or no heartbeat may show the signs of clinical death but not all organs stop functioning at the same time. This is the reason why different organs can be transplanted even after death.

When an action potential arrives at the axon terminal of a motor neuron, which ion channels open?
HACTEHA [7]

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.
