When a neuron is stimulated by another neuron, an action potential is generated and travels down the axon of the stimulated neuron. This action potential triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, which then binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to either excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.

What begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment true or false?
From the axon terminal of another neuron, a bunch of chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released and travel across the synapse (junction of two neurons). If enough stimulate the second neuron, the total energy triggers another action potential. Short and simple explanation--message me if you want more info!
When the neuron is sussiciently stimulated this process and triggers the action potential?
When a neuron is sufficiently stimulated, it depolarizes, allowing sodium ions to rush into the cell, triggering an action potential. The action potential travels down the length of the neuron, causing the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse and facilitating communication with other neurons.
When the neuron is sufficiently stimulated this process occurs and triggers the action potential?
When a neuron is sufficiently stimulated, it reaches its threshold potential which causes voltage-gated sodium channels to open. This allows sodium ions to rush into the neuron, depolarizing the membrane and generating an action potential. This electrical signal then travels down the length of the neuron, allowing for communication with other neurons or target cells.
What would happen if a neuron was stimulated simultaneously at both ends?
If a neuron was stimulated simultaneously at both ends, the action potential generated in the middle would effectively cancel out due to the opposing electrical currents flowing towards each other. This phenomenon is known as antidromic collision and may prevent the neuron from conducting signals efficiently.
Can an axon be stimulated during the refractory period?
No, the axon cannot be stimulated during the refractory period. This period is where the axon is temporarily unable to generate another action potential, ensuring that nerve impulses travel in one direction and allowing the neuron to recover before firing again.
When neuron stimulated enough it?
When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.

When a stimulus acts on a neuron it decreases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions?
False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )

What is the main part of the of a neuron?
It depends on what you mean by 'main'. The AXON is the part which CONVEYS the neural impulse, which could be thought of as the main FUNCTION of the neuron. But the DENDRITES are the parts which assess whether the neuron has been stimulated enough to fire the axon, which is another fundamental function of some neurons. And the BODY (soma) of the neuron is very much a 'main' part of the neuron, because without it the neuron would die.

When a neuron is sufficiently stimulated, it depolarizes, allowing sodium ions to rush into the cell, triggering an action potential. The action potential travels down the length of the neuron, causing the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse and facilitating communication with other neurons.
When receiving a massage what neurons are affected?
Any topical neuron can be stimulated through the pressure (whether it be little or a lot) of touch. In response to a topical neuron being stimulated it can cause a chain reaction effect to the neurological mapping of the area being affected.
