The vesicles release neurotransmitters. These cross the synapse and are accepted by the receptors in the dendrites of the next neuron.
Explanation:
An axon, or nerve fiber, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated Na+ channels. Na+ ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane.
Answer:
6666.67 Newtons
Explanation:
The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.
In this case:
- mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
- velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
- time= 6.00*10^-8 s
Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:
Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:
- F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
- F= 6666.67 Newtons of force
Answer:
20.0 cm
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
The normal power for distant vision is 50.0 D. A young woman with normal distant vision has a 10.0% ability to accommodate (that is, increase) the power of her eyes. What is the closest object she can see clearly?
Solution
Now, the power of a lens, P = 1/f = 1/u + 1/v where f = focal length of lens, u = object distance from eye lens and v = image distance from eye lens.
Given that we require a 10 % increase in the power of the lens to accommodate the image she sees clearly, the new power P' = 50.0 D + 10/100 × 50 = 50.0 D + 5 D = 55.0 D.
Also, since the object is seen clearly, the distance from the eye lens to the retina equals the distance between the image and the eye lens. So, v = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m
Now, P' = 1/u + 1/v
1/u = P'- 1/v
1/u = 55.0 D - 1/0.02 m
1/u = 55.0 m⁻¹ - 1/0.02 m
1/u = 55.0 m⁻¹ - 50.0 m⁻¹
1/u = 5.0 m⁻¹
u = 1/5.0 m⁻¹
u = 0.2 m
u = 20 cm
So, at 55.0 dioptres, the closet object she can see is 20 cm from her eye.
