Indeed, nerve conduction can be blocked by the local application of cold to a nerve fibre. movement of Ca2+ into the interior of the axonal terminus Following are some major factors that affect the speed of nerve impulse: Myelin sheath is present around the neuron and functions as an electrical insulator.

Which of the following is false or incorrect? Neurons are a complex network of fibers that transmit information from the axon ending of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron. The signal is transmitted in the form of ions and therefore it is much faster than chemical synapses. It means it doesnt conduct nerve impulses in this state. In this process the membranes are surrounded by a protein coat at the lateral margins of the synapse and are then transferred to cisternae, which form in the terminal during nerve stimulation. The chemically gated channel, NMDA, allows ________ ions entry into the nerve cell. A nerve impulse is produced when a stimulus acts on the nerve fibre, resulting in electrochemical changes across the nerve membrane. farther and farther along the circuit. (See the figure.) A series of nerve impulses arriving in rapid succession at the axon terminal is accurately reproduced as a series in the postsynaptic cell because the quanta of neurotransmitter released by each impulse are inactivated as soon as they stimulate the receptor proteins. Until potassium channels close, the number of potassium ions that have moved across the membrane is enough to restore the initial polarized potential state. The resulting increase in positive charge inside the cell (up to about +40 mV) starts the action potential. B) Absolute refractory period.
