(Generating) a Nerve Impulse 1. Why don’t the terms depolarization and action potential mean the same thing? Depolarization has to do with surfaces becoming more negative or positive and reaches a certain point called a threshold. When the threshold is reached‚ an action potential is initiated. 2. What was the threshold voltage in Activity 1? The threshold voltage in Activity 1 was 3.0. 3. What was the effect of increasing the voltage? How does this change correlate to changes in the nerve? There

Free Spinal cord Nervous system Brain
The brachial plexus is a network of spinal nerves. Spinal nerves carry information from peripheral sensory receptors to the spinal cord (of the central nervous system)‚ and then carry information back from the central nervous system to effector muscles and glands. The brachial plexus carries out these functions in the pectoral girdle and upper limbs. Specifically‚ nerves of the brachial plexus aid in innervation of the muscles of the upper limbs (with the exception of the trapezius and the levator

Biology II 30 March 2012 The Comparison of Nervous Systems in Humans‚ Cnidarians‚ Flatworms‚ and Annelids The nervous system is one of the most important organ systems in the body. It is in charge of all of the things that happen within the body. Being responsible for receiving sensory input from internal and external stimuli‚ integrating and processing information‚ and generating output‚ it would be hard to survive without a nervous system; however‚ there are different types of nervous systems

Arachnoid mater: is the middle layer located on the inner surface of the dura‚ superficial to the pia. Pia mater: is the thin‚ innermost layer that adheres to the outer surface of the brain and spinal cord‚ and the origins of the cranial and spinal nerves. 3. What is cerebrospinal fluid and what is its function? CSF is a clear liquid that bathes the brain and spinal cord. CSF provides the brain and spinal cord with nutrients and helps to create a chemically stable environment. 4. Which meningeal layer(s)

Membrane irritability is the ability to respond to stimuli and convert them into nerve impulses and conductivity is the ability to transmit an impulse (in this case‚ to take the neutral impulse and pass it along the cell membrane). 5. Why does the nerve’s action potential increase slightly when add 1.0 V to the threshold voltage and stimulate the nerve? The action potential increases slightly because the nerve consists of more than one neuron‚ therefore increasing the voltage increases the

Anatomy of Peripheral Nerves Peripheral nerves consist of fascicles that contain myelinated and unmyelinated axons. Endoneurium is the small amount of matrix that is present between individual axons. The perineurium is a sheath of special‚ fiber-like cells that ties the axons of each fascicle together. Epineurium is the connective tissue that surrounds the entire nerve trunk and gives off vascular connective tissue septa that traverse the nerve and separate fascicles from one another. | | Single
