1What kind of incoming signals do dendrites recieve?
Graded response
2What are the structures apart of the Neuron?
Cell body
Dendrites
Axons
Axon terminal
Axon hillock
3What is the ONLY region of the neuron that can generate Action potentials?
Axon
4What is the Axon hillock?
Connection point between Axon and Cell body
5Electrical signal is _____ down the axon _____ loss of _____.
- Conducted
- Without
- Strength
6What is Contiguous conduction?
Action potential spreads along adjacent regions along the entire length of the axon. Unmyelinated.
7What is Saltatory conduction?
Spread of action potentials through myelinated fibers. Action potentials jump from node to node. Same manner as contiguous conduction. Faster than contiguous conduction.
8Innervation describes a junction between...
A neuron and muscle or glands.
9Synapses describes a junction between what kind of neurons?
- 1 direction
- Presynaptic
- Axon
- Postsynaptic
- Dendrite
- Cellbody
