Nutation (botany) flowers to open or close by movements which resemble the simple nutation of dorsiventral organs. Thus, the tulip, crocus, and other vernal flowers are very sensitive to changes in temperature. The crocus can perceive a change of 0.5°C (0.9°F), and will respond to a change of 20°C (36°F) in two minutes. Nutation (botany) Nutation is the bending movements executed by some plant organs, such as stems, leaves, roots, etc., by which the part is inclined successively in various directions. Nutations are due to the unequal rate of growth of different sides of the organ, an inequality which, so far as
Calyx of Held sensitivity. Both low-threshold K channels and high-threshold delayed rectifier-type K channels are present in presynaptic neurons. There are four low-threshold K channels present: K1.1, K1.2, K1.3, and K7.5. K1.1 and K1.2 are located in the transition zone between the axon and the terminal, while K1.3 K7.5 are located in the calyx. There is a calcium activated potassium channel expressed in the calyx, however this type of channel does not contribute to neurotransmitter release. Within the span of one week, mice subjects (P7 to P14) showed that the density of the K1 and K3 low threshold channels increases, which in turn
