"Neurons" are the functional unit of the nervous system; it is the specialized cells transmitting nerve impulses
Hope this helps!
Answer:
low level of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between pre and post synaptic cells.
Explanation:
The calcium has a main role in signal transmission mechanism and here is the mechanism :
1-the impulse reaches the synapse (depolarization which is a voltage change).
2-the voltage gated calcium channels open and let calcium flow into the cell.
3-the calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to rupture and release chemical transmitters which cross the synaptic cleft and finally bind to receptors on the post synaptic cell (transmitting the signal)
so it's obvious that if calcium concentration decreases, the signal transmission also decreases.
it often supply energy and other nutrients and fiber that the body needs.
Answer:
My guess would be H₂O/ water, since osmosis is a form of passive transport and I can't see the model the question references. Gases like O₂/ oxygen, CO₂/ carbon dioxide, and simple sugars like glucose can also pass through a cell membrane with passive transport though.
