fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

Myelin is a fatty substance composed of lipids which surrounds the axons of the nerve cells in the central nervous system. The myelin is formed by the oligodendrocytes in CNS and Schwann cells in PNS.

The plasma membrane of the oligodendrocytes containing the myelin covers the axons of the neurons in spiral fashion thus proving a sheath around through the process called "myelination".

This myelin sheath protects the neurons from the external environment as well as insulates the neuron which increases the efficiency of the impulse.

Thus, Myelination is the correct answer.

Describe the immediate effect of the neurotoxin on the number of action potentials in a postsynaptic neuron. Predict whether the
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Inhibit control over ions.

Explanation:

The immediate effect of the neurotoxin on the postsynaptic neuron is to inhibit control over ion concentrations across the cell membrane. The neurotoxin blocks nervous transmission at synapses which prevents the vesicles containing the neurotransmitter from fusing with the presynaptic membrane so the information does not transfer from one neuron to another and as a result the body is present at constant relaxation mode. The membrane potential of postsynaptic neuron will decrease due to neurotoxin.
