Know What Neurons And Synapses Ure

Question 1

Neuron

Answer 1

-A cell in the body & brain
-Responds to stimuli in the environment or within the body
-Communicates Information through the nervous system using
-Electrical and chemical processes

Question 2

Sensory neurons

Answer 2

-Converts external stimuli from the environment
Into electrical impulses

Question 3

Replay neurons

Answer 3

-Transmits electrical impulses with the CBS

Question 4

Motor neurons

Answer 4

-Transmits impulses from the brain to the muscles or glands.

Question 5

Central nervous system

Answer 5

• Made up of brain and spinal cord
• helps brain and body communicate
• passes messages backward and forward
• sends messages to brain via spiral cord
• brain sends message to body via spinal cord (makes body move)

(dopamine (role in attention and learning, if not enough dopamine it makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks ) serotonin (plays a role in mood, make people feel depressed))

Question 6

Synapse

Answer 6

• Small gap at the end of A neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next
• released by a impulse of neuron
• goes across the synaptic cup
• taken up at the receptors of another neuron

Question 7

Synaptic functioning

Answer 7

-Involves the communication between the neurons using neurotransmitters

Question 8

Role of the central nervous system (CNS)

Answer 8

• made up of brain and spinal cord
• helps brain and body communicate
• passes messages backwards and forwards
• senda messages to brain via spinal cord
• brain sends message to body via spinal cord (makes body move)
