Action potential
After discussing synaptic transmission, the tutor asks u to describe the effects of noradrenalin in one sentence.
Noradrenalin is released by the sympathetic nerves &too much can lead to mania

One student mentions that neurons can send impulses continuously. This statement is…
- Correct, neurons are never inactive
- Incorrect, the resting potential has to be restored before another impulse can fire
- Incorrect, impulse cant conducted during the relative refractory period
