Coordination Flashcards
What is the membrane resting potential?
How is the membrane resting potential established?
What happens when a stimulus is detected?
How does depolarisation happen?
How does repolarisation happen?
How does hyperpolarisation happen?
What happens to make sure the neurone returns to the resting potential?
Why is there a refractory period after an action potential is triggered?
What is the importance of a refractory period?
What is the all-or-nothing principle?
How are waves of depolarisation made?
How does myelination affect the speed of conduction?
Through saltatory conduction, they increase the speed of conduction.
What happens in saltatory conduction?
How does axon diameter affect the speed of conduction?
How does temperature affect the speed of conduction?
