How does gravity cause plates to move? Explain

Biology

Answer:

The main driving force of plate tectonics is gravity. If a plate with oceanic lithosphere meets another plate, the dense oceanic lithosphere dives beneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle. The sinking oceanic lithosphere drags the rest of the tectonic plate and this is the main cause of plate motion. This process is called subduction.

The highlighted structure contains contributions from which cord(s) of the brachial plexus? lateral cord only medial and lateral
Makovka662 [10]

Highlighted structure is median nerve cord only.

It originates from brachial plexus from medial and lateral cords. Lateral wire best medial and lateral cords lateral and posterior cords medial cord handiest.

The medial twine is the a part of the brachial plexus fashioned with the aid of of the anterior department of the lower trunk (C8-T1). Its name comes from it being medial to the axillary artery as it passes through the axilla. the opposite cords of the brachial plexus are the posterior cord and lateral cord.

The lateral cord gives rise to the lateral pectoral nerve. The posterior wire offers upward push to the higher subscapular nerve, thoracodorsal nerve and decrease subscapular nerve. The medial wire offers upward thrust to the medial pectoral nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of the arm and medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm.

The posterior cord is part of the brachial plexus. It includes contributions from all the roots of the brachial plexus. Posterior twine. Plan of brachial plexus.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

If the postsynaptic cell is an interneuron that uses GABA as a neurotransmitter, the excitation of this cell will result in an action potential in its synaptic targets.

The answer is OPTION B (False)

Explanation:

<em><u>Some terms explained:</u></em>

GABA:

known as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is an amino acid inhibitory neurotransmitter that decreases the neuron's action potential. It is well known to inhibit the activity of signal-receiving neurons.

The neuron will not generate action potentials when the action potential drops below a certain level, thus not excite nearby neurons.

Action potential:

An action potential is self-propagating in nature, is the mode through which a neuron transports electrical signals. Action potential of a neuron has three main stages: hyperpolarization, repolarization, and depolarization.   It occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell location rapidly rises and falls and it electrotonically depolarizes the membrane of regions in front of it.
