Random
Graded potential that moved neuron toward threshold
EPSP
Receive most of the input from other neurons
Dendrite
Space between a neuron and its target
Synapse
Cell body bulbous and contains organelles including nucleus
Soma
Input from a single presynaptic neuron leads to this type of summation
Temporal
Fiber that connects a neuron with its target. Allows function of nervous system. Fast communication.
Axon
Neurotransmitter associated with Alzheimer’s
Acetylcholine
Focusing on nervous tissue it is comprised of these two tissues
Neurons and glia
Grade potential that moves neuron away from threshold
IPSP
these neuromodulators stimulate a response
Agonists
Cell with membrane made of lipids
Neuron
Associated with low levels of seratonin
Depression
Where the neuron communicates with a target cell
Axon terminal
Glial cell that participates in nerve regeneration
Schwann
nervous system cancers are often due to uncontrolled reproduction of this supporting cell
Glia
multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome lead to this type of issue
Conduction
In CNS only forms myelin layers
Oligodendrocyte
mV level at threshold
-55
Neurons have an axon and multiple dendrites
Multipolar
division of the nervous system (CNS or PNS) that may experience nerve regeneration if certain conditions are met
PNS
If neuron fires an action potential it will start here.
Axon hillock
When voltage gated potassium channels remain open
Hyper polarization
Thick outer layer of Schwann cell (regeneration)
Neurilemma
Many dendrites no axon
Anaxonic
Neuron math process determines total excitatory or inhibitory information
