    passive channels. Once the sensory receptors have detected a stimulus, the graded potentials open up sodium chemical gates which cause sodium to enter the cell but, for an action potential to occur the graded potential must reach a certain threshold (-55mv). Once the graded potential reaches its threshold it can now turn into an action potential, the voltage-gated sodium channels open up, and the inside of the cell becomes highly positive due to all of the voltage-gated…

    Glutamate Degradation

    • 785 Words
    • 4 Pages

    After astrocytes remove glutamate from the ECS, glutamate must be isolated and degraded. Glutamate transporters are bidirectional, so intracellular elevations of glutamate levels will lead to an electrochemical gradient-mediated release if the molecule is not destroyed. If glutamate release is unregulated glutamate accumulates in the ECS and impairs the survival of neurons. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) helps degrade glutamate into a-ketoglutarate, an intermediary in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)…

I mean, most if not all of my friends then were minorities of some sort, and I got along just fine with them. But subconsciously I began to notice that the successes of minorities irritated me because part of me believed I was better than they were.
