Cell division understanding Cell cycle process and pathways

Exercise is an everyday stress that the cardiovascular system must cope with. From an evolutionary standpoint the ability to run away from a predator or catch a prey is of utmost importance. There are two cardiovascular responses to exercise: local and systemic

Neuronal action potentials are propagated using local circuit currents which depend on the length and time constant to determine their speed. Also chemical synapses use neurotransmitters to bind to post-synaptic membrane ionotropic and metabotropic receptors to produce EPSPs and/or IPSPS that summate to a post-synaptic potential that may cause an action potential if the depolarization at the axon hillock reaches the threshold.
