The years before and during Thatcher’s time were fraught for the country, with inflation running high and lots of discontent, displayed not only through strikes but also the via ballot boxes.

    The visual system contains two types of photoreceptors called rods and cones. They are distinguished from one another by their shape, which also gives them their names, and the types of photopigments they contain, how the spread across the retina, and the differences in their synaptic connections (Purves, Augustine, Fitzpatrick, Katz, LaMantia, McNamara & Williams, 2001). Rods are found in the periphery of the eye and react to faint light, including black and white which allows twilight vision. Cones

    Abstract Bipolar cells serve as a direct pathway linking the ganglion cells and the photoreceptors. There are many different types of bipolar cells, the most common being rod and cone, but all of the cells are either ON or OFF types. The cells can be distinguished by glutamate receptor expression, response to light and in their structural layout. Bipolar cells responds to light when initiated by the synapses of photoreceptors. The neurotransmitter released by these photoreceptors is glutamate. The

    gradients, this results in a rapid depolarisation. Once a key maximum potential is reached usually about plus 30 millivolts the voltage gated sodium channels close. The depolarisation stops. Focusing on the potassium channels now, by the time the action potential peak is reached these channels are fully opened. And now a large amount of potassium ions move out of the cell down their concentration gradient. The removal of positive charges results in the membrane potential becoming more negative known

    The dendrites pick up the signal and activate the neuron's action potential that shoots an electric charge down the axon to its terminals and towards neighboring neurons. Neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles inside the terminal button of the axon; the vesicles are transported to the edge of the button and the

    Introduction The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a specialized communication synaptic area where an electrical nerve impulse is converted into an electrical stimulation, and once this process is executed, a muscle contraction is generated (Boron, Boulpaep, & Mocydiowski, 2012, p. 216). Lamentably, there are autoimmune disorders that disrupt the function of the NMJ leading to various neuromuscular disorders. In this midterm assignment, I will be presenting a rare autoimmune disease that alters the
