The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber. It surrounds and protects the muscle fiber and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The sarcolemma plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fiber.
Head injuries can cause seizures due to the disruption or damage to the brain's normal electrical activity. The primary reason for seizures occurring with head injuries is the disturbance in the balance of chemicals and electrical signals in the brain, resulting in abnormal electrical discharges that trigger seizures. Additionally, bleeding or swelling in the brain, as well as scar tissue formation, can also contribute to the development of seizures after a head injury.
the sensory nerves re nerves that let you feel things and it sends signals to your brain when you feel something touching you
In simplest terms, the five stages of action potential are...
A. Action Potential
B. Depolarization
C. Recovery Phase
D. Refractory Period
E. Hyper-polarization
In myelinated axons, the voltage gated sodium ions are located along the nodes of Ranvier, the exposed places between the myelin segments. The gates here, however, are not particularly more concentrated than on other un-myelinated axons.
TRUE
The effect upon the target neuron is determined not by the source neuron or by the neurotransmitter, but by the type of receptor that is activated. A neurotransmitter can be thought of as a key, and a receptor as a lock: the same type of key can here be used to open many different types of locks. Receptors can be classified broadly as excitatory(causing an increase in firing rate),inhibitory(causing a decrease in firing rate), or modulatory(causing long-lasting effects not directly related to firing rate).
A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
1. The neuron fires an action potential, sending the electrical signal down the axon.
In vertebrates, the term motor neuron (or motoneuron) classically applies to neurons located in the central nervous system (or CNS) that project their axons outside the CNS and directly or indirectly control muscles. The motor neuron is often associated with efferent neuron, primary neuron, or alpha motor neurons.

There are several types of synapses in the body. The most commonly discussed type is the chemical synapse, but other types of synapses include electrical synapses and immunological synapses. Because chemical synapses are the most commonly discussed synapses in general, that's probably what this question is referring to.
A chemical synapse is a small gap, or commonly referred to as a connection, between two cells that allows for the first cell (the presynaptic cell) to communicate with the second cell (the postsynaptic cell) through a chemical signal. These chemical signals are called neurotransmitters, and once they are released by the presynaptic cell, they act on the postsynaptic cell through specialized protein molecules called neurotransmitter receptors.
The actions triggered by a neurotransmitter binding its receptor on the postsynaptic cell are highly varied. They vary according to the type, quantity, and frequency of neurotransmitter release, the specific receptor involved, the type of cell that is receiving the neurotransmitter signal, among other things. For example, a neurotransmitter called glutamate typically causes activation of the postsynaptic cell, while a neurotransmitter called GABA typically inhibits postsynaptic cells. Likewise, if the postsynaptic cell belongs to a gland, then activity in that cell may promote secretion, while inhibition may hinder secretion. If the postsynaptic cell is a muscle fiber, then activation triggers muscle contraction, while inhibition causes relaxation.
A synapse is a connection which allows for the transmission of nerve impulses. Synapses can be found at the points where nerve cells meet other nerve cells, and where nerve cells interface with glandular and muscular cells. In all cases, this connection allows for the one-way movement of data. The human body contains trillions of synapses, and at any given time, huge numbers of these connections are active.
Neurotransmitters are molecules that travel from the synapses of one neuron to the dendrites of another neuron, activating channels on the second neuron that allow an influx of ions to rush in and start an impulse within the second neuron.
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
Systemic response is a medical term which means that your whole body is responding to a physical crisis or trauma or exacerbation of certain diseases (especially inflammatory and autoimmune diseases). There is a medical condition known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, in which the body reacts to trauma or certain surgical procedures, but no medical term "officially" known just as systemic response syndrome.
Nephrologists specifically treat diseases that affect the kidneys and their ability to function, such as diabetes or kidney failure. Urologists treat conditions of the urinary tract, including those that can be affected by the kidneys such as kidney stones and obstruction.
