The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process.
<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>
<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
I’m sorry I do not know what the answer is. Are you in forensic science? I’m making my 4 year plan, and I put that as one of science classes. If you are in that high school class can you provide any details on that class. If you know the answer to their question and the second spot is full, please comment under my question for them.
The answer would be proper strength since others do not make sense in detailed.
<span>In a balanced ecosystem, the number of secondary consumers must be fewer than the number of primary consumers.
In a balanced ecosystem, the number of producers is ALWAYS the largest. As the trophic levels increase, the number of organism decrease, so primary consumers are less than producers, secondary consumers are less than primary consumers, and so on.</span>
Phylum, it is the second largest group.
