The Systolic and Diastolic are separate numbers because the Systolic is supposed to be higher than the Diastolic. A perfect blood pressure is 120/80. Please mark as brainliest if correct:)

The top number of your blood pressure reading tells you the force of the blood against artery walls when your heart beats. It is called systolic pressure. The bottom number tells you what your blood pressure is when your heart is at rest between heartbeats. It is called diastolic pressure.

Whete does the stimulus occur in order to initiate an AP?
amid [387]

Answer:

The answer to the question: Where does the stimulus occur in order to initiate an AP, would be, B: Dendrites.

Explanation:

When an impulse is to be generated and passed on as an action potential towards a corresponding neuronal cell, and a final affected organ, the neurons need first to be stimulated so that an action potential begins. This stimulus comes as a neurotransmitter released by other neurons near the one that will be stimulated. This neurotransmitter will bind to the receptors on the dendrites of the neuron to be stimulated and immediately this will cause the ion channels, gated and non-gated, to open and close so that an action potential can be initiated. The cell body then initiates the first action potential, and will in turn stimulate the axon to also start their own action potential, which will, like a domino effect, move down to the axon terminals. This process will be followed all along a neuronal circuit.
