    stimulation on a frog’s sciatic nerve by looking at its compound action potential‚ the conduction velocity‚ and by quantifying the total and absolute refractory period between the nerve at room and cold temperature. An oscilloscope‚ preamplifier‚ and stimulator were used to stimulate the frog’s nerve located in the nerve chamber. Threshold voltage was determined by stimulating the nerve at increasing voltages until a compound action potential resulted. Absolute threshold was determined similarly by increasing

    pathway involved in a reflex action including at its simplest a sensory nerve and a motor nerve with a synapse between. The components are receptor‚ sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ relay neurons‚ and effector. 2. Describe the events of an action potential. The events that take place are that the motor neuron will be stimulated. At the axon hillock‚ this will cause Na+ to rush into the axon‚ triggering an action potential. Once that happens then the action potential will propagate down the axon

    consists of many areas that all work together in unison in order for the body to perform the tasks it is told to perform. The brain is responsible for controlling both voluntary and involuntary actions and coordinates and controls other organs in the body. The brain can do this by the use of postsynaptic potentials‚ synaptic transmission‚ and receptors that are responsible for producing and regulating specific behaviors. There are also six primary neurotransmitters that play a large role in how an individual

    1. A. Homeostasis is defined as a condition of equilibrium in the body internal environment. For example the internal organs‚ behaviors‚ body temperatures. In homeostasis it can be considered as dynamic as it is always changing. The liver‚ kidneys‚ autonomic nervous system and endocrine system‚ and hypothalamus help maintain homeostasis. For example‚ my brother has imbalance homeostasis due to having seizures. Because his brain is not functioning correctly‚ his homeostasis is not balance. B. Medial
