A postsynaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two ne
Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to incre
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The correct order is:

  1. High amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas.  
  2. Synthesis of hormones by beta cells.
  3. Binding of hormones with receptors on the liver.
  4. Intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters.
  5. Release of hormones from the receptors  

Explanation:

  • The pancreas produces two hormones important for the regulation of blood glucose levels.
  • The two hormones, glucagon and insulin, increase and decrease the blood sugar respectively.
  • Insulin lowers the blood glucose by stimulating the body cells to increase the intake of glucose.
  • The brain senses high/low blood glucose, then, sends signals to the pancreas to initiate the synthesis of insulin or glucagon by the beta cells.
  • These hormones bind to receptors on body cells; on hepatic cells, in case of insulin.
  • The receptors initiate cellular signaling that facilitates intake or exit of glucose in or out of body cells.
