24-2 What kind of signal travels along the axon

Of a neuron?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Determine the kind of signals that travel along the axon of a neuron.

Concept Introduction:

The neurons are the cells, which are responsible for the transfer of the signals from the body to.

brain and vice-versa. These nerves are arranged in different pathways, which carry message from.

different regions of the body.

Answer to Problem 24.2P

Electric impulse is the signal that travels along the axon of a neuron.

Explanation of Solution

Nerve cells are present everywhere in the body and along with the brain, it forms the nervous system. The signals travel as electric impulses along the axon of a neuron. The signals when they reach at the end of the neuron, they get transmitted to adjacent neurons by a set of particular compounds called as neurotransmitters.

Conclusion

In the neurons, the signals along the axons travel as electric impulses. They travel throughout the body as the nerve cells are found in the whole body.

Experiment:  Each team will be provided with 5g of a mixture of acetanilide and salicylic acid. You will divide it into three 1.5 g portions in separate 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks savıng some for melting point analysis. Dissolve the mixture in each flask in ~60mL of DI water by heating to boiling on a hotplate. Take the flasks off the hotplate once you have a clear solution and let them stand on the bench top for 5 mins and then allow them to cool as described below. Sample A-Let the first sample cool slowly to room temperature by letting it stand on your lab bench, with occasional stirring to promote crystallization. Sample B-Cool the second sample 1n a tap-water bath to 10-15 °C Sample C-Cool the third sample in an ice-bath to 0-2 °C Results: weight after recrystalization and melting point temp. A=0.624g,102-115° B=0.765g, 80-105° C=1.135g, 77-108 What is the percent yield of A,B, and C.
