parts of neuron
which part of a neuron receives signals from other neuron
dendrites
what is the main site of output of the neuron?
Axon
Allows communication and signals of neuron to travel to one another.
myelin sheath
The cell body of the neuron that house the nucleus is called?
Soma
Chemical messenger that is released from the presynaptic bottom.
Neurotransmitter
stores genetic information and is location in the soma.
Nucleus
Separates the cell form it's surrounding.
cell membrane
What are the categories of neuron?
unipolar, bipolar and multipolar
What forms the myelin sheath?
Oligodendroglia
What is the Current that causes a membrane to become more negative and move further away from the threshold of excitation(hyperpolarized).
Inhibitory postsynaptic potential
The junction between the presynaptic terminal bottom and postsynaptic.
Synapse
Collective drive of force on several membrane.
Resting membrane potential
which stage is the input dendritic initial of the action potential
electric conduction (stage 1)
What is the name of the specific membrane potential that a neuron must react to initiate an action potential?
Threshold of excitation
what is the current that causes a membrane to become more positive and more closer to the threshold of excitation (depolarized)
excitatory postsynaptic potential
Ions channels that uses ATP to pump NA+ outside the cell and K+ into the cell is called ?
Sodium potassium pump
The small space between the presynaptic terminal and postsynaptic is what?
Synaptic Gap
