This type of summation includes neurons at multiple locations.
What is spatial summation.

Anterior pituitary hormones are released by hormonal stimulation. How do these other hormones get to the anterior pituitary gland?
What is the hypophoseal portal system.
400
After hyperpolarization, the transmembrane potential is reached by using these.
What are the sodium/potassium pumps.
400
These allows CSF to drain into the dural sinus.
What is arachnoid granulations.
400
When a muscle is contracting too strongly and the tendon is being stretched, this protective mechanism sends an IPSP to the muscle.
What is a tendon reflex.
