Explain the production of EPSPs and IPSPs. Why are theyimportant?

Q: describe how myelination and axon diameter contributes to the increased speed of nerve impulse…

A: The information transmitted by neurons is named nerve impulses. Nerve impulses can roam very rapidly…

Q: Compare and contrast the general composition, function, and distribution of gray and white matter…

A: Gray matter is composed primarily of neuronal cell bodies also known as soma which is a spherical…

Q: Describe how the speed of nerve signal conduction varies with axon diameter and the presence or…

A: Neurons send information and instructions throughout the brain and body. The information is sent via…

Q: Are there certain locations for the processing of specific sensory, integrative and motor signals in…

A: The cerebral cortex is the external layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in people…

Q: Describe how sound waves are transduced into action potentials.

A: A bone named stapes is located in the middle of the year which is related to the convection of sound…

Q: Why is Myelin made up of Lipids and protein macromolecules?

A: Myelin is a sheath-like substance that surrounds nerve fibres, insulating & protecting them.…

Q: Differentiate EPSP from IPSP

A: EPSP – Excitatory Post Synaptic Potential It is a change in the membrane voltage of a post synaptic…

Q: Explain how a polarized axon responds to stimulation.

A: The “neurons” are the primary cells of the NS (nervous system). It has a nerve fiber, called an…

Q: How does conduction along a myelinated fiber differ from conduction along an un-myelinated fiber?

A: Myelin is a substance which is rich in lipids and surrounds the nerve cell axons in order to…

Q: Distinguish between insulation by oligodendrocyte or Schwann cells. Relate myelination to signal…

A: Glial cells are the cells supporting the central as well as peripheral nervous system functions.…
