1. Action potential arrives at synaptic knob
2. This causes Ca+ gates on the presynaptic membrane to open and the influx of Ca+ ions into cell
alpha receptors make the heart beat faster, the pupils of the eyes dilate, and the muscles contract. The beta receptors have similar effects and also cause the bronchi in the lungs to open up
The word cholingeric deals with biology and neurotransmitters. It means that a nerve can be activated by acetylcholine within the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the nervous system.
When a neuron is activated, there is a change in the voltage across the cell membrane at the receptor site. This change is known as a postsynaptic potential and can be either depolarizing (making the neuron more likely to fire an action potential) or hyperpolarizing (making the neuron less likely to fire an action potential).
Summation occurs, where the two excitatory postsynaptic potentials combine to reach the threshold for firing an action potential. This can be either temporal summation, where two EPSPs from the same presynaptic neuron occur in quick succession, or spatial summation, where EPSPs from different presynaptic neurons arrive simultaneously.
The solenoid pack is activated by the transmission computer to control fluid flow in the transmission. That is how the correct gears are selected.
Are you sure you don't mean OD off light? If so, that means that the overdrive gear in your transmission is not activated. On automatic transmission models there is a button on the end of the shift lever which controls whether the transmission is in overdrive or not. Push in on this button - the light should go out and overdrive will be activated (which will definitely give you better gas mileage).
Activated carbon will chemically bond with many (poisonous) substances, making them more inert, and enabling them to be passed out of the body fairly harmlessly. It is not a cure-all, but is a very useful addition to first-aid kits for "accidental poisoning".
Chemically-gated ion channels are receptor membrane proteins that are permeable to specific ions. The 'gating' part of it refers to the channel being open only once activated; which in this case will be by a chemical. An example would be the AMPA glutamate receptor, which has a channel pore that is permeable to sodium ions. Only by binding to glutamate (a neurotransmitter) does the channel allow sodium ions to enter the cell.
It is referred to as electrically activated an controlled. It is, however, still a mechanical device with gears and pumps and so on.
It's a physical change, because being that the change occurs without any proper chemically activated source state change is natural.
Cancer cells are a natural occurrence in the human body, so everybody has them. This does not mean they are harmful or active, they only cause cancer in over abundance or if chemically activated somehow.
Yes, activated abilities of artifacts can be activated in this game.
