1 answer:

7 0

From the Friar's Tale, it is easily inferred that the Friar has no respect for Summoners and holds them in disdain. The Friar's Tale seems to exist for a single purpose: the humiliation and degradation of members of a certain profession. The Tale begins by exposing the means by which summoners blackmail and extort persons, but does not attack the church system that allows this to happen, but rather the men who represent this system and exploit these workings of the church. Yet the Friar's Tale surpasses the Reeve's Tale in its vitriol for its main character. While Symkyn, the immoral miller of the Reeve's tale, is hardly an exemplary character and exists only for ridicule, he at least is given a proper name that separates him from his profession. The main character of the Friar's Tale is an impersonal representation of all summoners and the fate they deserve.

An action potential is an "all-or-nothing" event. Explain what is meant by this phrase.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

An Action Potential is an "All or Nothing" phenomenon. It was first described in 1871 by a Physiologist Henry Pickering Bowditch.

Explanation:

The action potential is always a full response, there is no such thing as a strong or weak potential. This means that when a stimulus is given, a neuron either does not reach the threshold or a full action potential is fired.

STATEMENT OF LAW:

The all or none law states that , the strength of a response of a nerve cell or a muscle fiber do not depends upon the strength of a stimulus. If a stimulus is above a certain threshold, the nerve cell will send the information down the axon towards the synapse and the signal is being propagated.

SIGNIFICANCE:

The significance of this law is that it minimizes the possibility of information to be lost along the way.

This law was initially applied to the muscles of heart but later it was found to be true for neuronal cells and other muscle fibers too.

Thus an action potential is all or nothing event.
