There is no specific classmate that you can or cannot learn from. Every day you learn something new from someone. You could be walking down the street and have a young child stop you and tell you a joke he heard today in his 3rd grade class‚ or when you say hello to the woman who is behind you in that long line to check out at the local grocery store she will ask you a question that makes you think. I hope this future friend is absolutely nothing like me. They say opposites attract and I will

short time before it is metabolized by enzymes‚ pulled back into the presynaptic neuron through reuptake‚ or bound to a postsynaptic receptor. Nevertheless‚ short-term exposure of the receptor to a neurotransmitter is typically sufficient for causing a postsynaptic response by way of synaptic transmission. In response to a threshold action potential or graded electrical potential‚ a neurotransmitter is released at the presynaptic terminal. Low level "baseline" release also occurs without electrical

Ax-‚ axle: axon – cylindrical nerve process that carries impulses away from a neuron cell body. Dendr-‚ tree: dendrite – branched nerve process that serves as the receptor surface of a neuron. Funi-‚ cord‚ rope: funilicus – funiculi of spinal cord or bundle of nerve fibers. Gangli-‚ knot: ganglia – deliver information to the body -lemm‚ rind or peel: neurilemma – sheath

This intercellular signaling allows neurons to form complex interconnected circuits‚ allowing the nervous system to moderate other systems within the body. When an action potential of a pre-synaptic neuron reaches the axon terminal‚ voltage-gated calcium channels are open. This allows calcium ions to enter the terminal. The calcium instigates vesicles containing neurotransmitters to bind with the cell membrane‚ releasing their

electrochemical process. Neurons pass neurotransmitters through the dendrites‚ which are attached to the ends of each neuron and receive messages from neighboring neurons. The chemical messages that are passed from one neuron to the next cause an action potential. This occurs when the receiving neuron accepts the right amount of the correct message. Once the message is received‚ the neuron will then send neurotransmitters to the next neuron through the axon. After the neurotransmitters pass through the axon

Information * The Neuron at Rest: A Tiny Battery * The resting potential of a neuron is its stable‚ negative charge when the cell is inactive. * The Action Potential * An action potential is a very brief shift in a neuron’s electrical charge that travels along an axon. * The absolute refractory period is the minimum length of time after an action potential during which another action potential cannot begin. * The All-or-None Law * The neural impulse

These neurotransmitters transfer signals throughout the nervous system and stimulates action potentials in the postganglionic neurons. Receptors found on the ANS and PNS includes the cholinergic receptors‚ which consists of all sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic‚ sympathetic postganglionic and all parasympathetic postganglionic neurons. The cholinergic receptors are found in the postsynaptic plasma membrane. The cholinergic receptors include two types- nicotinic and muscarinic receptors
