Q

What is the difference between an axon & a Dendron?

A

Dendron recieves the information from the last neurone an takes it to cell body and the Axon takes the impluse away from the cell body.

Q

List the 5 steps to Reflex arc?

A
  1. Sensory Receptor Activated
  2. Sensory Receptor Transmition to the CNS via Sensory Neurone
  3. Intergration in the C.N.S
