the reflex arc are: 1- Speed of transduction at the sensory receptor. This is most rapid when the receptor is spontaneously active and is tuned to the dynamic range. 2- Conduction speed in afferents to the CNS. Speed depends on fiber size and myelination. Larger fibers conduct more rapidly‚ but at the expense of space. 3- Synaptic delay and number of synapses involved in the pathway. While the interval between arrival of the presynaptic AP and start of EPSP is typically 0.5 ms‚ it takes a few ms

contraction? What proportion of the muscle fibers in the muscle do you think were contracting to produce this maximal response? Muscle fibers act in response to isolated stimuli in an all or none fashion. However‚ a muscle organ‚ such as the gastrocnemius muscle‚ is composed of many individual muscle fibers. It is known that all of the fibers in a muscle do not have the same threshold and that a stimulus applied to a muscle does not necessarily excite all the fiber in it. As the intensity (voltage) of

So we made the problem formulation like this: How can bamboo fibers be used in the design and production of wind mill blades and how would it influence the impact of wind mill blades in a lifecycle perspective? In order to answer this question‚ we made a research about the properties of bamboo material and made a LCA to compare the performance between bamboo turbine blades and glass fiber turbine blades with sustainable perspective. The result concluded that bamboo material

Good sources of dietary fiber is a high fiber diet which could include food sources such as turnip greens‚ mustard greens‚ collard greens‚ navy beans‚ eggplant‚ raspberries‚ and cinnamon. You can also take fiber supplements sold at Wal Mart‚ most drug stores.

Baer’s Comb Sorter Diagram Fibre Length: The "length" of cotton fibres is a property of commercial value as the price is generally based on this character. To some extent it is true‚ as other factors being equal‚ longer cottons give better spinning performance than shorter ones. But the length of a cotton is an indefinite quantity‚ as the fibres‚ even in a small random bunch of a cotton‚ vary enormously in length. Following are the various measures of length in use in different countries Mean length:

Face the Fats According to the American Heart Association‚ there are four different kinds of fats. These fats are necessary for the body to give it energy‚ support cell growth‚ absorb nutrients‚ and produce important hormones. Each of these fats has different chemical structures and physical properties. The bad fats tend to have a more solid structure when at room temperature and the good fats are more like a liquid. So‚ what are the good fats and the bad fats? Good fats such as‚ monounsaturated

History The development of spandex was started during World War II. At this time‚ chemists took on the challenge of developing synthetic replacements for rubber. Two primary motivating factors prompted their research. First‚ the war effort required most of the available rubber for building equipment. Second‚ the price of rubber was unstable and it fluctuated frequently. Developing an alternative to rubber could solve both of these problems. At first‚ their goal was to develop a durable elastic

PHILIPPINE ABACA INDUSTRY History Abaca‚ the country’s premier fiber and known worldwide as Manila hemp‚ has come a long way from its humble beginning as raw material for our ancestors’ coarse and stiff clothing as well as footwear. While abaca is still being used for these purposes‚ its application has expanded to sophisticated industrial uses. It is now a preferred material in the production of pulp for specialty papers like tea bags‚ meat/sausage casings‚ cigarette paper‚ filter papers

the muscles it innervates. Each muscle will respond to one motor nerve which contains axons that can have up to 100’s of neurons that branch into terminals that form NMJ with ONE fiber. When a motor neuron sends an action potential‚ it will cause all of the connected muscle fibers to contract. The number of muscle fibers per motor unit varies from thousands to only a few‚ and the size varies based on the type of control that muscle has. Muscles that exert fine control‚ such as the muscles controlling
