other neurons using action potentials and neurotransmitters (Carlson‚ 2004). Neurotransmitters from the synaptic vesicle of the terminal button of a neuron can cause a graded potential. Unlike action potentials which are always depolarization‚ graded potentials may be either depolarization (excitatory) or hyperpolarization (inhibitory) (Kalat‚ 2007). Depending on whether the neurotransmitter hyperpolarizes or depolarizes the neuron‚ there are two basic postsynaptic potentials that take place in the

Hirst examines potential benefits and drawbacks of legalized medical marijuana in America. The author cites evidence from several experts in the field of medicine and a report by the Institute of Medicine to argue that the effects of marijuana are not completely clear as a result of the drug’s classification as a Schedule I drug (Hirst‚ 2013). Marijuana’s classification as a schedule I drug means that the DEA defines it as a “drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse”

Neurons (Ch.6) • Receptors receive stimuli‚ and convert them to nerve impulses • Alternating graded and all-or-none signals on the membrane of a single neuron • Graded potentials decay with distance (electrotonic conduction); longdistance transmission depend on transforming signals to APs • Typically‚ alternating electric (within neuron) and chemical signals (between neurons) • Postsynaptic potential affected by number and frequency of APs Passive spread of electric signal Sub-threshold

For your Test on Thursday‚ study text chapters 1 thru 6. Potential questions include the following: Be able to define‚ explain the characteristics‚ and compare the differences between Economic Growth and Economic Development. Tied to this question‚ or perhaps‚ as another potential question‚ be able to discuss the various reasons "why some countries are poor." Chapter 2 concerns itself with the problem of measuring economic growth. As another possible question‚ consider the standard

1. Which of the following is NOT true regarding the EPP? A. The EPP is a graded potential needed to reach threshold B. The EPP is the direct result of voltage-gated Na+ channels opening C. The EPP occurs in the post-synaptic membrane and is not an action potential D. To generate an EPP‚ ACh acts as the neurotransmitter involved in skeletal muscle contraction E. Two of the choices above are NOT true. 2. A person is being treated at a local clinic with an acetyl cholinesterase

nerve fibers or axons allowing the examination of the action potentials through the movements of the nerve. The sciatic nerve axons are different in structure and function. Axons with large diameter perform action potentials faster than axons with small diameter. The sciatic nerve has a lot of properties that make it to be a good candidate for this

UNLOCKING THE CREATIVE POTENTIAL Creative is almost synonymous. Today creativity is sought in workplace. How does Montessori educate the creative potential of the child? Montessori was herself criticized in which she says “so called free drawing has no place in my system”. The Montessori approach is more complex. It can be described as an indirect preparation. She said to confer the gift of drawing we must create an eye that sees‚ a hand that obeys and a soul that feels; and in this task the whole
