    make use of redox reactions to produce an electric current. “A flashlight works because the electrons that are transferred from the reductant are made to pass through a lightbulb before they get to the oxidant.” (Whitmire 1). Flash lights get an electrical current from oxidization in a battery to transfer to electrons where light is then given of as oxygen is bonded (Whitmire 1). Another example is “An automobile oxidizes gasoline to make the engine work. Bleach works by oxidizing the molecules…

    phosphorus-doped layer becoming positive and the boron-doped layer becoming negative. This switch creates an electrical field over the cell that acts as a medium for current (Morris). The electrical imbalance directs photoelectrons, electrons produced from the photoelectric effect, and creates a flow of current of excited electrons from the atoms of silicon that can then be harvested as an electrical current("How PV Cells Work."). Multiple of these photovoltaic cells are connected to each other…

    fascicles of microtubules. 2. A collateral axon is a branch off the main axon that usually feeds back onto the soma. This function provides modulation of cell firing. 3. Axon terminals are distal terminations of the branch of an axon. These release electrical impulses of the presynaptic cells. 7. Name and describe the three different types of neurons and describe their functions: A. Multipolar neurons have several dendrites; most neurons in the spinal cord and brain. Bipolar neurons have only…

    Nearly all ancient societies practiced body modification through either piercingss or tattoos. These ancient practices are becoming ever more present in our modern Canadian society, especially tattoos. One writer says, “Permanent tattooing is the process of body modification by deposition of a pigment into the dermis” (Simunovic and Shinohara 525). In the past three decades, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become increasingly popular in the medical field. Magnetic resonance imaging is a…

    Galvani suggested that nerve impulses were electrical in nature and that the nervous system operated like a conductor of these electrical impulses (Schultz & Schultz, 2012). This corresponds with Cajal’s work, who “found that nerve fibers were composed of separate structures (neurons) that somehow were connected to specific points (synapses)”…
