activity comes along which will cause them to open up. Voltage gated channels open in response to changes in electrical potential across the cell membrane. Voltage gated channels are important for the release of neurotransmitters and the formation of action potentials. Potential- is the difference between the inside and the outside of the cell ‚ potential is measure in Mv. In addition we have a Na‚ K pump that requires energy to function.

proponent/theorist of social action theory is German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920)‚ who‚ along with Durkheim and Marx‚ is considered one of the fathers of sociology. To Weber‚ a social action was an action carried out by an individual to which a person attached a meaning‚ an action that takes into account the existence and possible reaction of others. In other words‚ if you do not think about an action‚ it is not a social action. So an accidental car accident or a sneeze are NOT social actions. Also‚ if an

POTENTIAL Resting potential is the membrane potential when a neuron is not conducting any electrical impulse or signal. The resting potential is around -75 mV. During resting potential‚ the inside of the axon is negative GRADED POTENTIAL ACTION POTENTIAL Action potential is a fleeting reversal of the membrane potential‚ caused by changes in permeability of the plasma membrane of neuron to potassium and sodium ions causing an electrical impulse to be transmitted along the axon. When a stimulus

The purpose of affirmative action is to ensure equal opportunity for minorities. But it has strayed from its original intent and has become largely a program to achieve not equal opportunity but equal results. It is a system of quotas forced upon American businesses and working class by the federal government. A law which forces people to look at race before looking at the individual cannot promote equal opportunity. Affirmative action continues the judgement of minorities by race; it causes reverse

What is an action potential? To put it simply‚ it is a message that is sent down the nervous line. The message is written and is sent from the central nervous system. That message is addressed to muscles or glands. This essay will explain what happens before‚ during‚ and after an interneuron action potential. To accurately define an action potential‚ it is part of the incredible course of events that occur during the firing of a neuron. When a neuron is not firing signals‚ the interior of the

The term “Affirmative Action” was used to describe the action of helping ethnic minorities who suffer from discrimination receive the same job and education benefits that majorities did. The idea of affirmative action was to get rid of the barrier between minorities and majorities and to allow equality throughout the country. This policy actively puts in effort to boost the possibilities for different excluded ethnicities in the United States. Due to America’s past of slavery‚ African Americans were
