It could feel stiff, lock up, or really feel like it’s catching as you bend and straighten your leg. Serotonin matches with its receptor like a lock and key. Information is encoded by the frequency of motion potentials, very similar to FM radio. A small stimulus will initiate a low frequency prepare of a few motion potentials. As the intensity of the stimulus increases, so does the frequency of action potentials. Action potentials are propagated quickly. On the synapse, the two nerve cells are separated by a tiny hole, or synaptic cleft. Similarly, many native anesthetics (e.g. lidocaine, novocaine, benzocaine) can stop motion potentials from being propagated in the nerve cells in an space and temporarily stop you from feeling Wellnee Pain Relief product page. In this manner, the nervous system can turn various cells (and subsequent neural pathways) "on" and "off." Finally, nerve cells synapse on effector cells (muscles, glands, and many others.) to evoke or inhibit responses. Unlike wires in your home, nerve cells don't touch, but come shut collectively at synapses. Any one nerve cell could have synapses on it from excitatory presynaptic neurons and from inhibitory presynaptic neurons. Taste buds have chemoreceptors to detect chemicals dissolved in liquids. |
