2) Painful Popping Noise at time of Injury: Sometimes when the knee is injured e.g. twisting awkwardly, there is a sudden, loud pop at the same time indicating damage to part of the knee. 3) Recurrent Painful Popping Noises not Caused by an Injury: Knee pain and popping can come on gradually with no obvious cause. If knee popping occurs without any associated pain, it is usually due to either gas bubbles building up inside the joint which burst, or ligaments/tendons snapping over the joint.
What part of a neuron was investigated in this activity? The Â±rigger zone was investgaÂ±ed. This is where Â±he axon hillock and Â±he inital segmenÂ± come Â±ogeÂ±her ACTIVITY 4: The Action Potential: Importance of Voltage-Gated Na_ Channels 1. What does TTX do to voltage-gated Na + channels?
In neurons, the types of ion channels in the membrane usually vary across different parts of the cell, giving the dendrites, axon, and cell body different electrical properties. As a result, some parts of the membrane of a neuron may be excitable (capable of generating action potentials), whereas others are not. The most excitable part of a neuron is usually the axon hillock (the point where the axon leaves the cell body), but the axon and cell body are also excitable in most cases.
