Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?

Biology
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system is activated to restore the body's energy level after the emergency conditions. This division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients so that body cells obtain and conserve energy.

Some of the responses generated by activated parasympathetic division are increased activity of glands associated with the digestive system and increased the contraction of smooth muscles of the digestive tract. The parasympathetic nervous system also slows down the responses required for physical activities such as heart rate and breathing rate.

Alkaline pancreatic juices work in ___________
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be Option-C.

Explanation:

The pancreas is an organ which plays an important role in the digestion of the food.  Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas which contains digestive enzymes as well as the sodium bicarbonate (base).

The sodium bicarbonate is required for the digestion of the food as after the acidic digestion of the food in the stomach, the food chyme enters small intestine. The inner lumpen is not structured to handle the acidic chyme so sodium bicarbonate neutralizes the acid chyme that entered the lumen of the small intestine.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
