1 Coordination ts activity carries three Na* ions from the + exterior and in exchange transfers two K* 1 ECF to the cell. The concentration of fons will be about 14 times more in ECF and concentration of potassium ions will be 30 times in the axoplasm (inside) tion of the membrane of a neuron causes 4 Na* channels to open resulting in the sion of Na* This results in a reversal of the ‘larity; the inside ofthe membrane becomes ‘outside negative. The nerve fibre is said to Potential (+30 mv); it is depolarized 8 of some Na* channels during an action reduces a depolarization. It stimulates the adjacent Na” channels causing the action travel along the membrane ofa neuron. Each intial is followed by a refractory period ‘ractory period nerve never transmits an is the period of complete inexctability depolarization and repolarization. In aumerve, the refractory period ranges fiom 1-6 is ‘mechanism of hearing in human beings. lund waves are directed towards the external 'y meatus by the pinna. The waves that enter ltory canal are concentrated and made to strike | the tympanum. The vibrations are picked up ‘malleus onthe other sie. These vibrations are fitted to the fenestra ovals via. the ineus and pes. The vibrations that strike the fenestra are amplified about 22 times ck the tympanum. 5. What is role of ear in maintaining equilibrium? > The vestibular apparatus of the inner ear helps the body to maintain equilibrium, The information ‘provided by the vestibular apparatus is also essential for coordinating the position of the head and the movement of the eyes. There are two sets of end organs in the inner ear of labyrinth. The semicircular canals respond to rotational movements (angular acceleration). The utricle and saccule within the vestibule, respond to changes in the position of the head with respect to gravity which is known as linear acceleration. The information given by vestibular apparatus is proprioceptive in character. Functionally these organs are closely related to the cerebellum and to the reflex centres ofthe spinal cord and brain stem that govern the movements of the eyes, neck, and limbs MATCH THE COLUMN TYPE IONS |.
