The Biology of Mind Neuron Communication Neuron is a nerve cell‚ basic building block our nerve system Neurons consists in: Dendrites : neurons bushy branches and it listens Axons: Tube that passes the messages and it speaks – transmit Action potential : is a neural impulse‚ brief electrical charge that travels down an axon. Threshold: is the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse Myelin Sheath covers an axon and some neurons Synapse : is the junction

junction‚ muscle membrane‚ and endoplasmic reticulum. The other one is the contractile mechanism‚ which is the muscle filament. A muscle fiber’s mechanical response declines with fatigue. Peripheral muscle fatigue is caused by changes in the internal conditions of the muscle. The changes can be biochemical‚ depletion of substrates‚ high-energy phosphate compounds in the muscle fibers‚ and acetylcholine in the terminal motor nerve branches‚ or they may be caused by the accumulation of metabolites.

2.2 Electrical Communication Study Guide by Hisrich 2.2.a How does communication happen within the body? Electrical Signals Nervous System Chemical Signals Endocrine System The nervous system is made up of neurons. Neurons communicate just like people do‚ but they send messages using action potentials (electricity passing through their axons). Each neuron picks up signals at its dendrites‚ passes the signals down the axon‚ into the axon terminals‚ and into the synapses. The synapse

It extends from the brainstem to the abdomen‚ with branches in the neck‚ thorax and abdomen 68. The vagus nerve is part of the autonomic nervous system‚ has efferent fibers‚ ascending signals from the brain to the peripheral organs‚ as well as afferent sensory fibers‚ and transmits information from the peripheral tissue to the brain. The ANS consists of three components: the sympathetic‚ noradrenergic
