Part of a global family: Over the course of their exchange year and beyond, the student becomes much more than a guest in their host family's home; they're part of one big global family. Host Family Application: Families who express an interest in hosting are guided through an application process by a local exchange coordinator in their community and EF staff in our Boston office.
An axon (from Greek á¼Î¾ÏÎ½ axÅn, Ã¡xÅn), axis is a, long slender projection of a nerve, cell or, neuron that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the'neuron s cell. Body myelinated axons are known as nerve. Fibers the function of the axon is to transmit information to different, neurons muscles and. glandshen an action potential reaches a presynaptic terminal, it activates the synaptic transmission process. The first step is rapid opening of calcium ion channels in the membrane of the axon, allowing calcium ions to flow inward across the membrane.
For example, sympathetic nervous system increases the heart rate, whereas parasympathetic nervous system does the opposite. â¢ Postganglionic fibers of parasympathetic nervous system secrete acetylcholine, while that of sympathetic nervous system secrete adrenaline or noradrenaline at their synapse as neurotransmitters.â¢ Postganglionic sympathetic nerves are adrenergic, whereas postganglionic parasympathetic nerves are cholinergic.
