Nerve and neuron sound similar to most people‚ but they are two different components of the body (Martini‚ 375). Nerves are found only in the peripheral nervous system‚ while neurons are found in the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and peripheral nerve (Martini‚ 375). Neurons are nerves cells that are specialized for intercellular communication (Martini‚ 375). A neuron is composed of a cell body‚ dendrites and axon (Marieb‚ 376). A nerve is a bundle of axons or dendrites that is wrapped in connective tissues

The QALMRI Method Explanation of writing a QALMRI The information you are trying to convey in writing your final project is the same as the information you are trying to extract from journal articles that you read. The QALMRI method highlights this important information as: What are the broad and specific questions?‚ what were the alternative hypotheses‚ what was the logic of the design‚ what was the method‚ what were the results‚ what inferences about the specific and broad question can be made

Neurophysiology Study Guide 1. Define "equilibrium potential". Why is the resting potential closer to the potassium equilibrium potential (EK+) than the sodium potential (ENa+)? The equilibrium potential is the point at which the force exerted on an ion by electrostatic and concentration gradient forces are balanced‚ and there is no net movement of that ion. The resting potential is closer to EK+ than ENa+ because the cell membrane is more permeable to
