GFR is related inversely and nonlinearly to serum creatinine. Age, gender, and race all affect muscle mass and, in turn, serum creatinine. Both the MDRD Study and CKD-EPI equations include variables to account for serum creatinine variation with age, gender, and race.
When a nerve is stimulated, its cell membrane is depolarised so that the inside of the cell becomes less negative. The potential is conducted along the axon to the axon termin â¦ al.At the dendrite it stimulates the release of a chemical transmitter, which diffuses across a synapse.The transmitter binds to receptor sites on the postsynaptic cell membrane to stimulate the generation of another impulse.+ 4 others found this useful.t the dendrite it stimulates the release of a chemical transmitter, which diffuses across a synapse.

This involves an explosion of electrical activity, where the nerve and muscle cells resting membrane potential changes. In nerve and muscle cells the membranes are electrically excitable, which means they can change their membrane potential, and this is the basis of the nerve impulse. The sodium and potassium channels in these cells are voltage-gated, which means that they can open and close depending on the voltage across the membrane.
