agents produce‚ called fasciculation‚ are forceful enough to be seen. During the second phase‚ muscles stop responding to acetylcholine‚ proving that neuromuscular blockade is in effect. When depolarizing agents are used‚ they still prompt the action potential to occur; this means that the neurons will still send information. (Source) However‚ even though the neurons are still working‚ the depolarizing agent causes the effector site to become desensitized‚ allowing the block to be successful. In comparison

surface of the ball harder. Raising the soccer ball to a higher position will increase its potential energy. As a soccer ball drops‚ the potential energy in the ball is converted into kinetic energy. Once the ball hits the ground‚ there will be a deformation of the shape of the ball and the kinetic energy will be converted into compressed potential energy. As the air decompresses‚ this potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy as the ball bounces upwards. The same thing

structure of the center -surround in the receptive fields of retinal. In the receptive field‚ there are cone photoreceptors that communicate with On and Off center bipolar cell and finally On and Off center ganglion cells that carry the action potential to the cortex. When light comes to the retina (eyes) it causes closing of channels in the photoreceptor‚ there is no Ca2+ (calcium) influx‚ therefore‚ no neurotransmitter release (glutamate). While in the dark‚ is the opposite to light‚ channels

Required Vocabulary – IB 12 Higher Level Physics and Physical Measurement 1. Fundamental Units – seven basic units of the SI measurement system: kilogram‚ second‚ mole‚ meter‚ ampere‚ Kelvin‚ candela. 2. Derived Units – units that are combinations of fundamental units. These combinations may or may not have a separate name. (eg. 1 kg m/s2 = 1 N) 3. Accuracy - An indication of how close a measurement is to the accepted value (a measure of correctness). 4. Precision - An indication

Human Physiology/Senses ← The Nervous System — Human Physiology — The Muscular System → Senses Are the physiological methods of perception. The senses and their operation‚ classification‚ and theory are overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields. Sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. What are Senses? We experience reality through our senses. A sense is a faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. Many neurologists disagree about how many senses

Melissa Fellin 10/6/13 A.P. Psych Review Intro There are two communication systems in the brain The Nervous System and the Endocrine System Nervous System: extensive network of nerve cells that carry messages in pulses of electrical and chemical energy throughout the body. This is the network that first comes to your rescue by accelerating you heart and tensing your muscles for action. Endocrine System: a slower acting communication network that sends a follow up message that

Study Guide: Chapters 3 and 4 Answer the following questions—you do not need to answer in complete questions. Differentiate between potential‚ kinetic and low quality energy. Potential- Energy that is stored in an object due to its configuration Kinetic- energy an object possess due to its motion and mass. Low quality- Energy that is unorganized and do little work. How does entropy relate to the continual energy needs of organisms Entropy represents the disorder of a system which allows the

potassium ions flow out of‚ the cell. The flow of ions causes a reversal in charges‚ with a positive charge now occurring on the interior of the cell and a negative charge on the exterior. The cell is said to be depolarized‚ resulting in an action potential causing the nerve impulse to move along the axon. As depolarization of the membrane proceeds along the nerve‚ a series of reactions start with the opening and closing of ion gates‚ which allow the potassium ions to flow back into the cell and sodium
