Question: Why is the opening of sodium channels in a neuron an example of positive feedback? Answer: Sodium channels open, which causes depolarization, which causes more sodium channels to open.
Domanda: Perché l'apertura dei canali del sodio in un neurone è un esempio di feedback positivo? Risposta: I canali del sodio si aprono, causando depolarizzazione, che fa aprire più canali del sodio.
