Q: How do the two types of postsynaptic potentials differ?

A: Potential refers to the electric charge carried by the membrane. Transmission of nerve impulses…

Q: How does myelination differ between the CNS and the PNS?

A: Nervous system involves a series of networks of sensory receptors that provides information about…

Q: Why are impulses transmitted more quickly down a myelinated axon than down an unmyelinated axon?

A: A neuron with myelin sheath can conduct impulse faster than the neurons which are without the myelin…

Q: What is secreted at axon terminals?

Q: Why do Schwann cells insulate nerves?

A: Answer : researches have proven that Schwann cells in the peripheral frightened device ordinarily…

Q: How do Schwann cells and oligodendrocytes differ with respect to the number of axons they myelinate?

A: There are two types of myelinating cells present in our nervous system: Schwann cells also known as…

Q: What happens when a neuron fires? What leads up to it, and what happens during the action potential?

A: Action potential generates when the neurons want to pass the information along the body from its…

Q: which electrical activity of the nervous system regulates effector cell activity?

A: The nervous system is the main controlling, and conveying system in the body. It is the headquarters…

Q: What is the functional advantage of myelination?

A: The neuron or nerve cell is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. This is divided into three…

Q: How does a nerve impulse proceed in areas of the axon that are myelinated (have Schwann cells…

A: Nerve impulse refers to an electrical or chemical signal that is transmitted along nerve fibre. The…

Q: Are axons more likely to regrow in the peripheral nervous system or the central nervous system? Why?

A: CNS stands for Central nervous system. Here, the axons do not have the ability to spontaneously…

Q: What are the differences between myelinated and unmyelinated axons? Which conducts axon potentials…

A: Neurons(nerve cells) are defined as the specialized cell which acts as the fundamental unit of brain…

Q: What is a local current? How do local currents cause thepropagation of action potentials in…

A: The specialized cells which make up the nervous system are the neurons and the glial cell. The…

Q: what happens to the conduction velocity of an axon that is isometrically twice as  big as another…

A: Axons can emanate from dendrites known as axon-carrying dendrites in some animals. No neuron ever…

Q: What are glial cells?

A: In the structural hierarchy of the living system, cells from the basic unit. The fundamental unit of…
