Topic: Nervous system Reading: Chapter 38 Main concepts
... • Nerve signals involve the concentration of potassium and sodium ions on either side of the cell membrane. The signal is conducted when ion channels open briefly in a “wave” down the cell, allowing sodium and potassium to switch sides. • The synapse is a small gap between two neurons, and is bridge ...

Haemodynamic response
In haemodynamics, the body must respond to physical activities, external temperature, and other factors by homeostatically adjusting its blood flow to deliver nutrients such as oxygen and glucose to stressed tissues and allow them to function. Haemodynamic response (HR) allows the rapid delivery of blood to active neuronal tissues. Since higher processes in the brain occur almost constantly, cerebral blood flow is essential for the maintenance of neurons, astrocytes, and other cells of the brain.
