Question

Please choose from the following choices at the bottom right for each of the blanks given from Na+ equilibrium potential to EPSP.

Na+ equilibrium potential threshold potential graded potential action potential action hillock synapse EPSP location to conversion of electrical information to chemical information projection form the cell body that increases the reach of the cell in terms of it's ability to deliver information location of voltage gated sodium channels on the cell body membrane potential change that diminishes with distance and time when propagated membrane potential that leads to the opening of a channel membrane potential that is required to stop a net flow of the ion across the membrane Quantity of an iron required to match the energy of the resting potential of cell interaction that causes an increase in K+ movement through ligand gated channels projection from the cell body that increases the reach of the cell's ability to obtain information from other neurons or locations in the body membrane potential change that does not diminish with distance and time when propagated

Explanation / Answer

Na+ Equilibrium Potential - membrane potential that leads to opening of channel

It leads to creation of action potential and Na+ and K+ across cell generating nerve impulse

Threshold Potential –

It is type of potential which is attained for closing and opening of Na+ and K+ gates as the information pass from one neuron to another

Graded Potential – Membrane potential change that diminish with distance and time when propagated

They do not travel long distance along the membrane of the neuron but short distance and diminish as they spread. It is small change in membrane potential.

Action Potential - Membrane potential change that does not diminish with distance and time when propagated

It is something that occurs due to large depolarisation even and helps in signal transmission by opening of Na+ and K+ channels.

Axon Hillock – projection from cell body that increases the reach of cell’s ability to obtain information from other neurons or locations in body

It is part of neuron which leads to passage of stimulus from one neuron to another. It is present at end of one axon.

Synapse – location of conversion of electrical information to chemical info

Since, the electrical signal cannot jump from one neuron to another, it needs to converted into chemical signal which is done at synapses.

EPSP - Interaction that causes an increase in K+ movement through ligand gated channels

During this as there is enough entry of Na+ ions, K+ needs to be there in an order to obtain equilibrium and generate action potential
