-- theory explains deviance as the outcome of social strains due to the way the society is structured. For some people, the strain becomes overwhelming to the point where they do deviance as a way to manage the strain.
The local potential is the depolarization of a cell below threshold. After the cell is sufficiently depolarized (and reaches threshold), it fires an action potential down the axon. The local potential is the depolarization of a cell below threshold. After the cell is sufficiently depolarized (and reaches threshold), it fires an action potential down the axon. Go
ION CHANNELS. Trafficking of small charged molecules (ions) thru the cell membrane of neurons determine their ability to signal and respond to each other. The electric charges of ions are in fact responsible for the membrane potential and action potential. But since the cell membrane is almost totally impermeable to ions, there is a need to use specialized cellular devices that can transport ions in and out of the cell thru the membrane. These devices are called ion channels.
