Question 10

Electrical impulses travel down the ________ onto the next neuron

Answer 10

Dendrites

Question 11

Excitatory potentials

Answer 11

have a positive charge and make it more likely the post synaptic neuron will fire eg. noradrenaline

Question 12

inhibitory potentials

Answer 12

have a negative charge and make it less likely the post synaptic neuron will fire eg. serotonin

Answer 13

carry impulses from sensory receptors
converted to sensation
some terminate at the spinal cord and produce reflexes
