When an action potential arrives at the end of the axon terminal, a series of events take place that result in the release of ne

urotransmitter from the presynaptic axon. Select the answer that correctly describes the primary stimulus for vesicles to move toward the cell membrane and eventually release their contents.

Answer:

Voltage-gated membrane channels open, and Ca+2 enters the cytoplasm, increasing intracellular calcium

Explanation:

The neurotransmitters in the neurons are stored in the synaptic vesicles in the synaptic knob present at the axon terminal.

The neurotransmitters are released when the action potential reaches the axon terminal and opens up the voltage-gated calcium channels. The calcium channels allow the entry of the calcium from the synapses and this causes the release of the synaptic vesicles which fuses with the cell membrane. This fusion releases the neurotransmitter in the synapse.

<span>A sample that is large and randomly selected<span> is most likely to yield generalizable results. A large and randomly selected sample shows the real diversity of the population with little relevance of bias within the findings and produces generalizable results. Also, the results from the sample gives accurate representation of the larger population and are easy to use.</span></span>

This glandular tissue resembles that of the salivary gland (clusters of zymogenic cells). What feature unique to the pancreas wo
leva [86]

Answer:

Seen on the explanation.

Explanation:

Glandular tissues are a mixture of both endocrine (ductless, hormones are secreted directly into the blood) and exocrine (have ducts, hormones are secreted into surfaces) glands.

The pancreas and salivary glands are both exocrine glands although the pancreas has an endocrine function via the islets of Langerhans, both aid in the digestion of food.

The pancreas lacks striated ducts and the intralobular duct is similar to the intercalated duct of salivary glands. It often has a collapsed lumens and the cells are cuboidal with little cytoplasmic staining in contrast to acinar cells.

The pancreas can also be distinguished from the parotid gland by the presence of the pancreatic islet (islets of langerharns) which has an endocrine function.

What process is responsible for building successive rock layers on Earth?
mixas84 [53]
The correct option is deposition.
Deposition is the process by which sediments, soils and rocks are added to a particular rock which result in successive layers in the rock. Deposition is usually brought about by the action of wind, water, ice and gravity. These forces brings on sediments which are added to the rock layers.

Maximizing distance between yourself and the patient helps protect you from radiation. exposure to radiation is extremely small
Lorico [155]
Answer is 6 feet away

This applies to patients who have received a radioactive substance during their treatment, especially for cancer. An example is a patient who has been prescribed radioactive iodine for treatment of hyperthyroidism. Maintaining a safe distance of approximately 6 feet from the patient minimizes exposure to the radiation.

algol [13]

Answer:

Principles of Geology

Explanation:

J. Henslow gifted Darwin the first volume of Principles of Geology, written by Charles Lyell. The book explains about the old age of the earth. Accordingly, the slow rate of several geological processes suggests that the earth is very old.

Darwin read the book as the ship was crossing the Atlantic and learned about geological processes occurring over the millions of years. For example, he learned that the earth's surface was not formed by some catastrophic event.

In his book, Lyell explained the slow and gradual geological processes like erosion gave rise to the vast landscapes present on the earth's surface.

Darwin compared the time taken by geological processes to form the earth's surface and reasoned if these millions of years were enough to support the evolution of species.
