question 51

True/False

Epithelial tissue performs different functions based on the different types of matrix that make up the tissue.

---

Definitions:

Repolarization

The process by which a cell's membrane potential returns to its resting state after depolarization.

Afterpotential

Afterpotential represents the change in membrane potential that follows an action potential in nerve cells, affecting the cell's responsiveness to subsequent stimuli.

Threshold

The point or level at which a stimulus is of sufficient intensity to begin to produce an effect.

Concentration Differences

Variations in the amount of a particular substance per defined space, leading to a gradient that can drive diffusion processes.
