Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

Which of the following best describes the purpose of examining mammary secretions in mares before parturition?
Arisa [49]

The statement that best describes he purpose of examining mammary secretions in mares before parturition is testing for elevated levels of calcium.

<h3>What is the processes of parturition in mares?</h3>

In parturition, a fetus is fully developed, a process called Ferguson reflex occurs to stimulate contractions. The canal is lubricated by a fluid called allanotic fluid and facilitates the discharge of the amnion and the fetus. A virginal distension releases oxytocin and more contractions.

For a mare to be ready for parturition, elevated levels of calcium is tested from the mammary gland to confirm that the mare is healthy and ready for parturition.

Explain how and why you would conduct a study to determine if this bone can be used to determine sex
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The pelvis is the best sex-related skeletal indicator, because of distinct features adapted for childbearing. The skull also has features that can indicate sex, though slightly less reliably. Males have a square jawline and the line between the outer edge of the jaw and the ear is vertical. Conversely, in females the jaw is much more pointed and the edge of the jaw slopes gently towards the ear.

Explain how temperature and precipitation are affected by latitude and the sun's rays.
Licemer1 [7]
Latitude is the measurement of the distance of a location on the Earth from the equator. The further away from the equator that you are the less sunlight that this location receives. ... At the Equator, the Sun's rays strike the Earth at a right angle, which makes the heat more intense and concentrated over a small area.
