Answer:

The answer to this definition is: ACTION POTENTIAL

Explanation:

Action potential is a phenomenon in nervous system used to describe a change in electrical current that occurs when an impulse passes through a neuron or nerve cell. Action potential is induced when sodium (Na+) ions move from the extracellular environment into the intracellular environment.

Impulse travels across the axon of a neuron and thereby causes a difference in the electric potential i.e. - mv to + mv. This process, according to this question, whereby a change in electrical potential occurs due to the passage of an impulse through a nerve cell is termed ACTION POTENTIAL.

Jermaine was hiking in the rocky mountains for the first time and became sick. At the hospital, he was diagnosed with sickle-cel

Tom [10]

Sickle cell disorder is an inherited blood disease featured by defective hemoglobin. The condition affects the hemoglobin, or the red blood cells, and their tendency to conduct oxygen. The normal hemoglobin cells are round, smooth, and flexible, and thus, they can travel via the vessels in the body effortlessly.

On the other hand, the sickle cell hemoglobin cells are sticky and stiff and form a sickle, C shape, when they lose their oxygen. These cells combine together, and cannot effortlessly move through the blood vessels.
