Examlex
Michael Omi and Howard Winant have shown with much evidence that "race" cannot be reduced to class or ethnicity, but remains an "autonomous field of social conflict, political organization and cultural/ideological meaning."
Resting Potential
The difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a resting neuron's plasma membrane, critical for nerve impulse transmission.
Synapse
A synapse is the junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle, where electrical or chemical signals are transmitted.
Neural Transmission
The process by which nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals.
Action Potential
A brief electrical charge that travels down a neuron, triggered when the neuron fires and essential for nerve impulse transmission.
