Unit 2- Between Neurons Flashcards
1
Q
Synapse
A
Point of communication
2
Q
Synaptic Gap
A
Space between neurons
3
Q
Reuptake
A
Neurotransmitter molecules detach from a post synaptic neuron and are reabsorbed by the original neuron (pre synaptic) so the neurotransmitters can be recycled
4
Q
Pre- Synaptic
A
The neuron before the synaptic gap
5
Q
Post- Synaptic
A
The neuron after the synaptic gap
6
Q
Synaptic Transmission
A
Neurotransmitters get released, cross the synapse and get absorbed.
7
Q
Interneuron
A
Communication from one neuron to another
