Answer:

The correct answer is - the large cross-sectional area and greater length of the cytoplasmic core get less resistance than the smaller cross-sectional area.

Explanation:

The greater length and the large cross-sectional area of the cytoplasmic path or core get less resistance than the resistance of the current path which is the small cross-sectional area of axoplasm. This leads it to greater resistance than the resistance of the current path through the extracellular fluid.

Other than this there is also an unequal distribution of the ions that leads to the increase in potential difference as higher Na+ ions present in cytoplasm and high amount of K+ ion present in axoplasm.

Which assessment is most supportive of the nursing diagnosis, impaired skin integrity related to purulent inflammation of dermal
Masteriza [31]
I believe that this question is a multiple answer question and the best answer to support this is

Oral temperature of 101° F (38.3° C)
The client's wound which has purulent drainage, according to the nursing diagnosis, is infected. Due to the infection, the client's temperature would rise. The rest of the multiple answers attached to this question like wound healing by primary intention, heart rate of 88 beats per minute and dry and intact wound dressing are just normal assessment findings.

Action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of what neurotransmitter?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine: It is a neurotransmitter released by motor neurons which bind to the receptors end plates of the motor. When an action potential travel down the motor neuron's axon, neurotransmitter release occurs resulting in an influx of calcium and altered permeability of the synaptic terminal membrane.

The Ca2+ ions allow synaptic vesicles to move and bind with the presynaptic membrane which is present on the neuron and released neurotransmitter from the vesicles into the synaptic cleft. Once it's released ACh diffusion occurs across the synaptic cleft to the motor end plate, and binds with ACh receptor. As the neurotransmitter ACh binds, these ions channel open and sodium ions cross the membrane into the muscle cells.

In this phase reduction of voltage inside and outside the cell occurs, which is known as depolarization. When ACh binds to the motor end plate this depolarization is known as end plate potential. Then depolarization spread with the sarcolemma and creating an action potential. This action potential moves the entire cell and creating a wave of depolarization.
