answer: a. increasing the stimulus frequency (the rate of stimulus delivery to the muscle). 4. Wave summation increases the force produced in the muscle. Another way to increase the force produced by a muscle is to Your answer : a. slow action potential propagation down the motor neurons that innervate the muscle. Correct answer: d. increase the number of activated motor units. 010/03/13 page 1 Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: As the stimulus frequency increases

Overview Of Neuron Structural and Functional Properties and Electric Circuit Parameter Models from a Cellular Perspective. Neurons serve the purpose of receiving signals coming from neighbouring neurons; they assimilate these signals‚ and generate nerve pulses. They then conduct and transmit these nerve pulses to other neurons which are capable of receiving them. Neurons are the structural constituents of the brain. Typically‚ neurons are five to six orders of magnitude slower than silicon logic

The Major Issues- Chapter 1 Module 1.1 1. The Mind-Brain Relationship a. Biological Psychology is the study of physiological evolutionary and developmental mechanism of behavior and experience. b. At the microscopic level‚ we find two kinds of cells: the neurons and the glia i. Neurons send messages to each other and also to muscles and glands. They have changing sizes‚ shape and functions. ii. Glia- which are most of the time smaller than neurons have many

DNA In the picture of muscle contraction‚ know what bands decrease in size and which ones stay the same. When the muscle contracts the sarcomere gets smaller and the area between myosin filaments. What are the net products of glycolysis? ATP‚ NADH‚ Pyruvic Acid What are the net products of cellular respiration

NEURONAL DIVERSITY - Categories of neurons of CNS: 1. Afferent/ sensory neurons – convey information from periphery to CNS 2. Motor- sends commands to muscles and glands 3. Interneurons – most abundant signalling elements in the CNS ( process information locally or convey information from one region of CNS to another • Types: a. Local interneurons/ internuncial neurons/ local circuit neurons – short axon Golgi type II (greatly outnumber type I in CNS)

red color indicates high brain activity. The use of ECVT-based brain activity scanner in detecting brain cancer is possible since the presence of tumor will prevent neuro-signal from reaching the cortical areas. Brain tumors prevent neuro-signal propagation to the cortex‚ causing a certain “brain signal death”‚ indicated by low activity of the brain on corresponding cortex. Therefore‚ the location of brain tumor will be shown as having low activity in the ECVT brain activity map. The ECVT has an advantage

Explain what is meant by this phrase. This means that once the threshold is met‚ an action potential occurs. If the stimulus is too small an action potential does not occur. An action potential is usually initiated in an axon at or near what? The axon hillock‚ the initial segment‚ and the trigger zone. The adequate stimuli
