    sends those signals through its axons. Axons that transmit faster are encased in a myelin sheath. If the combined received signals exceed a minimum threshold‚ the neuron fires‚ and transmits an electrical impulse down its axon by means of chemistry to electricity process. The neuron’s reaction is an all or non process. 2-3: How do nerve cells communicate with other nerve cells? The electrical impulse (the axon potential) reaches the end of an axon (the axon terminals)‚ they stimulate the

    parts. There are five major parts of a neuron‚ the axon‚ soma‚ dendrites‚ the axon hillock and the terminal buttons. The axon transmits the neural signal. The stoma is where signals from the dendrites are joined and passed on. It serves to maintain the cell and keep the neuron functional. The dendrites help increase the surface area of the cell body. They receive info from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the stoma. The axon hillock controls the firing of the neuron. The terminal

    Activity 1 1. Increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels because the membrane is permeable to K+ ions. Therefore‚ the K+ ions will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because the K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane. My results went well compared to my prediction

    Spinal Cord- The spinal cord is a long‚ thin‚ tubular bundle of nervous tissue and support cells that extends from the brain (the medulla oblongata specifically). The brain and spinal cord together make up the central nervous system (CNS). The spinal cord begins at the occipital bone and extends down to the space between the first and second lumbar vertebrae; it does not extend the entire length of the vertebral column. It is around 45 cm (18 in) in men and around 43 cm (17 in) long in women. Also

    other neurons‚ and the axon fibers pass that information along to other neurons. Sensory neurons send information from the body’s tissues and sensory organs inward to the brain and spinal cord‚ which process the information. Motor neurons carry outgoing information from the central nervous system to the body’s tissues.Interneurons in the central nervous system communicate internally and intervene between the sensory inputs and the motor outputs. The axons of some neurons are encased

    신경과학 제출일자 11월 26일 Weekly Q&A (25) 1. Outline the steps involved in the presynaptic release of neurotransmitter. Why would the closure of a potassium channel in the presynaptic axon terminal change the amount of Ca2︎ entering and change the amount of neurotransmitter released? Serotonin(5-HT) receptor on the sensory axon terminals is a G-protein-coupled metabotropic receptor. Stimulation of this receptor leads to the production of intracellular second messengers‚ cAMP‚ which activates protein kinase

    The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending‚ receiving‚ and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. This system can be divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Let ’s take a look at the central nervous system. Central Nervous System The
