    Action Response is a London-based charity dedicated to providing fast responses to critical situations throughout the world. The charity receives requests for cash aid usually from an intermediary charity and looks to process the request quickly and provide funds where they are needed‚ when they are needed. It was founded to provide relatively short-term aid for small projects until they could obtain funding from larger donors. Generally‚ Action Response is regarded as one of the success stories

    Title: Muscle twitch response and recruitment‚ summation and tetanus Exercise 1: The effects of nerve stimulation Objectives: 1. To explore the motor and sensory effects of electrical stimuli on a student volunteer‚ using the nerves of the forearm. 2. To examine the position where a largest muscular twich response with the lowest pulse current can be generated. This position is kept constant to determine results in exercises 2 and 3. Procedure: Refer to Human Biology Practical Manual

    carries important information through action potential‚ this is significant activity of the neurons to allow us to understand abnormality in the nerve that cause disorders. The objective of this study was to trigger a compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) and examine the effects of a stimulus voltage on a nerve and inspect their threshold‚ refractory period and also their velocity. Compound nerve action potentials (CAPs) are summed action potential of one nerve‚ one nerve consists of many neurons. We

    The Action Potential An action potential‚ also called a spike‚ nerve impulse‚ and discharge‚ is the rapid reversal of charge of the cell membrane. These changes in charge occur within milliseconds‚ meaning the action potential travels very quickly down the axon in order to convey information over long distances. This transfer of information occurs within six phases and requires the presence of multiple pumps and channels embedded in the membrane to control ion concentration. Phase 1: The Resting

    fundamental unit of the nervous system. These neurons work together with other excitable cells to produce action potentials when they receive electrical or chemical stimuli. Action potentials can be thought of as an “all-or-nothing” event and occur as a large-scale depolarization when sodium and other positive ions rapidly enter the neuron through membrane channel proteins. Once initiated‚ action potentials travel down the length of the axon and when it reaches the end a neurotransmitter is released into
