How do sodium and potassium leak channels play a role in the development of the negative membrane potential of the axolemma (pla

sma membrane of the axon)?

kirza4 [7]3 years ago

The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Due to different grouping style

Explanation:

There are two modes of classifying an organism due to which two different cladogram are produced-  

A) When the organisms are grouped together on the basis of similarities shared by them – Such species are named based on the name of older species and the newly discovered species sharing similar traits are kept under older species thereby dropping its own name.  

B) In the second method, the minute differences are observed in species to group them into several branches arising from one parent organism.

There are different three types of muscle fibers: cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and smooth muscle.

Cardiac muscle and smooth muscle are involuntary muscles, whereas skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle.

<span>the nurse should dispose the dressing in a red bag labeled as hazardous material. Remember that any material coming from an infected patient is considered as infectious. it is potentially infectious to the human body, especially to those who are immunocompromised. Vancomycin resistant enterococci is a bacteria which is resistant to the antibiotic Vancomycin. it means this type of antibiotic is not working to kill the bacteria, moreover this type of bacteria is highly infectious that's why precaution is observed. </span>
