red_stag88 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 11) What is the gap between two axons on a nerve cell called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermin Dropper Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Thats a trick question, Aeneas told Dido himself. and... do you mean the synaptic cleft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Nope and Nope. It was actually Tucer, a exiled greek, seeking assylum at Tyre. I wont tell you the answer to the other one yet. Synapses are between two nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermin Dropper Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Actually Dido origonally heard about Troy from Aeneas himself, Tucer came later. And if you want to be flash...you must therefore mean the nonmyelinated gaps on the axons which are called the Nodes of Ranvier. ( all this thinking, I think I'm getting a Gliomas.)

Teal Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 The nodes of ranvier are not between two seperate axons they are merely along the length of one axon as VD says in areas between two schwann cells which coat the axon (ie myelinated), they are not a junction and most definately do not connect two axons. Therefore synapse was correct unless you wanna rephrase the question For a bonus mark though tell me how often these gaps of insulation along an axon occur (ie distance).

She cant of done, Aeneas spends 7 years fleeing Troy (whike Dido is leaving tyre and founding carhtage on Iarbas' land) he arrives at Carthage, upon meating venus who tells him of Dido's woes. She coulds him and a mate in a mist making him invivsible, he enters Carthage, sees a temple half built to juno with a freeze of the battle of troy. He sees some of his mates (Who were split up when Juno used Aeolus to send a storm upon his fleet where he tought he lost 13 ships when actually some had landed futher round) Dido spares the other mens lives because they have travelled with Aeneas. She explanes how she idolises Aeneas. At this point the mist goes, Aeneas is beautified by Venus, Dido falls in love, love at first sight. She cant have met him preivously because she has also said she would never love again after Pygmalion killed Shycaeus, and would instanly fall in love, as Venus wants to protect Aeneas (Juno loves carthage, Rome is destend to destroy Carthage, Venus makes dido fall in love as juno cannot now harm Aeneas for Dido would be heart broken and Carthage would sease to be built). She cnat have met him before you see. Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 The reflex arc is a pathway between a receptor -> effector neurone. It goes first to the spine and then starts going back along the motor neurone (may be a connector neurone along the way) at the same time the impulse is carried up the spine to the brain, the effector therefore responds to the stmulus bfore there is any voluntary response(it takes longer for the impulse to get to the brain). It's fast and automatic, have you ever "almost" fallen over and thought how the hell did I stay up? That is the knee jerk reflex kicking it its pretty cool...
