    Affirmative action policies are policies in which an institution or organization actively engages in multiple efforts to improve opportunities for historically marginalized and excluded groups in America (Pojman, 1998). These policies focus on both employment and education.

    the others, and still just believe you have been completely fair". Johnson’s quote depicts the potentials of affirmative action such as bringing equality to education and employment.

The goals of the policy were to provide equal opportunities to minority groups such as women, Hispanics, and other…

    segment where action potentials begin (an area called the “trigger zone”). Sometimes axons have side branches called collaterals, which usually branch off at a 90 ° angle and allow a neuron to communicate with many cells at once. Each axon branch ends in a thin extension series called telodendria, which ends at the synaptic terminals.

    Action potential is an event that is carried out by a neuron from the dendrites to the soma, then the axon carries the action potential to its terminal buttons, and finally a neurotransmitter will be released. The neurons will send information, so it can travel down the axon and away from the body of the cell. The main goal of an action potential is to have a thought be created by the end of the process. A depolarizing current is created when an action potential explodes with electrical activity…

    The majority of nerves cells that make up the nervous system are excitable cells, as they have the ability to produce an electric current to formrom an action potential from using a concentration gradient of ions across their membrane (Sherwood, 2013). The current generated by the flow of sodium (〖Na〗^+) and potassium ( K^+)ions is called an action potential and occurs in three steps: depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization. First, a membrane potential 〖(V〗_m) is established by…
