Q

rod cells

A

more sensitive
black and white
dim light

17
Q

fovea cells

18
Q

mps for nerves

A

-stimuli
-sensory neurone
(via synapse)
-relay neurone
(via synapse)
-motor neurone
-effector muscle

19
Q

which neurone is in cns

20
Q

effects of adrenaline

A

increases:
-heart rate
-blood flow to muscles
-blood sugar level

21
Q

reflex

A

automatic response to certain stimuli to protect organism form danger

22
Q

adrenaline reflex

A

goes from receptor to effector through reflex arc

23
Q

order of neurones

A

sensory
relay
motor

24
Q

synapses mps

A

-chemicals called neurotransmitters
-diffuse
-these chemicals set of new signal in next neurone

25
how to identify sensory neurone
nucleus in middle
26
how to identify relay neurone
nucleus in dendrites
27
how to identify motor neurone
myelin sheath on axon
