Factors that effect reaction time?
The sensitivity of the receptors, velocity of nerve conduction, and the number of neurons and synapses involved to name a few.
What would happen if the inertia of the earth was increased without he sun's gravity increasing?
Inertia is measured by an object's mass. The Earth would still go around in the same orbit, because the orbit does not depend on the mass of a planet. "Inertia" is sometimes used to mean "momentum". That's mass times velocity. If the Earth's velocity increased then it would move further from the Sun. <<>> The point is that "inertia" is a nonscienific word that is used to describe different things by different people and it's best to use "mass" or "momentum" depending on what is meant.
What is the duration of Velocity Trap?
The duration of Velocity Trap is 1.48 hours.
What is the duration of The Velocity of Gary?
The duration of The Velocity of Gary is 1.68 hours.
What is the acceleration of an object?
When a net force acts on that object, there is a change in velocity, and thus acceleration.
What do nerve conduction velocity studies?
Nerve conduction velocity studies (NCV) are used to measure the speed with which an electrical signal is transferred along the nerve.
Who invented the nerve conduction velocity test?
fffhfffhddhhffh
What are the factors which affect the nerve conduction velocity?
The factors affecting nerve conduction velocity are as follows:(i) Axon diameter:An axon with a larger diameter conducts faster. In an unmyelinated fiber, the speed of propagation is directly proportional to the square root of the fiber diameter (D), i.e.,Conduction velocity a D(ii) Myelination and saltatory conduction:Myelination speeds up conduction. Thus, the action potential travels electrotonically along the long myelinated segments, and fresh action potentials are generated only at the nodes. This is called saltatory conduction. In a myelinated neuron, the conduction velocity is directly proportional to the fiber diameter (D).(iii) Temperature:A decrease in temperature slows down conduction velocity, (iv) Resting membrane potential. Effect of RMP changes on conduction velocity is quite variable. Usually, any change in the RMP in either direction (hyper polarization or depolarization) slows down the conduction velocity.
What is the relationship between nerve size and conduction velocity?
velocity proportional to square root of diameter
What is nerve conduction velocity test?
Nerve conduction velocity test-- A test that measures the time it takes a nerve impulse to travel a specific distance over the nerve after electronic stimulation.
What is the relationship between size of nerve and conduction velocity?
For unmyelinated nerves there is a relationship between axon diameter and conduction velocity. Larger diameter nerves conduct faster. For myelinated nerves the a larger diameter nerve will conduct faster between the nodes of ranvier where the action potential is propagated. Conduction is said to be saltatoryas it jumps from node to node.
Is the velocity of a nerve impulse greater than electrical conduction's?
yes
What features of nerves improve impulse conduction velocity?
myelin sheaths
What is salutatory conduction?
Saltatory conduction refers to the propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons from one node of Ranvier to the next node. It increases the conduction velocity of action potentials.
What is slowest conduction velocity?
Referring to cardiac pathways it is found in the AV node.
Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?
The same.
Does the presence of the nodes of ranvier speed up velocity of conduction along the axon?
True
