by considering what happens in a receptor when a stimulus is applied to it. If the receptor region generated action potentials, the graded nature of the This may be anatomically separate from or continuous with the receptor region or with ..... but by what specific receptor or nerve fiber is stimulated.

Because of the refractory period, a nerve fiber cannot be continuously stimulated. Other neurotransmitters bind to different receptors and increase the permeability of the membrane to K+ (or Cl-). What happens? This is an inhibitory postsynaptic potential. IPSP...

If the pump was to continue unchecked there would be no sodium or potassium ions The resting potential tells us about what happens when a neurone is at rest. When stimulated past threshold (about –30mV in humans), sodium channels open and .... In living cells nerve impulses are started by receptor cells.

If that neuron is continuously stimulated at a level of 0.5 volt, If we increase the stimulus (e.g., from 0.5 volt to 1 volt), what happens to the rate at which action potentials (and impulses) occur? The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the cleft and fit into receptor sites in the postsynaptic membrane.

The ligand-induced steroid receptor-coactivator complex, and even the individual components of those complexes, also undergo rapid exchange (18, 22). GR cycles continuously on and off the chromatin target as demonstrated as a hit and run model, in which GR first binds to chromatin after ligand activation,
