Removing part of or the entire pancreas may cause a loss of pancreatic digestive enzyme production, leading to EPI.
Question: When a nerve fiber is polarized, the concentration... When a nerve fiber is polarized, the concentrationof: A. sodium and potassiumions is higher on the inside of its membrane. B. sodium ions is higher on the inside of its membrane and potassium ions are higher on the outside.
In complex organisms, when stimulation of a peripheral sensory neuron (a first-order sensory neuron) sensory receptor exceeds a set level of intensity, an electrical impulse travels down the nerve fiber to the central nervous system, where it may activate a motor neuron or another sensory neuron (a second- or third-order neuron), or both.
