Action potential - Ans - a neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon - the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell. Axons - Ans a part of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body Broca's area - Ans Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech. Cell body - Ans Larges...

WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11 WGU Pathophysiology Study Guide: D236 Pathophysiology Lesson 1 TO Lesson 11: Pathophysiology Remediation Lesson 1: Homeostasis Concepts 1. Starling's Law of Capillary forces is the force behind the movements of fluid in capillary beds throughout the body. The two forces at work are hydrostatic and osmotic pressures. Homeostasis is achieved when these two forces are equal in the capillary- cell interfaces. When...
