  • Neuron function
  • Action Potentials (AP) are fixed in amplitude
  • An AP sweeps along the axon membrane at a constant velocity
  • Sequential depolarization / repolarization causes AP to move continuously down the axon
  • Neurons are cells that transmit information
  • They are composed of the cell body, dendrites (conduct message towards cell body), Axon (conduct message away from cell body)

 

  • Synapse Structure
  •  Includes: tips of terminal branches of axons, tiny space between nuerons, and ends of dendrites receiving neurons
  • action potential reaches axon terminal
  • AP causes synaptic vesicles to release NT into synaptic gap
  • NT diffuses through gap and bind to receptors on receiving neuron
  • Neurotransmitters are used to carry the signal from the axon terminal of the sending neurons to the dendrite of the receiving neuron

For the presentation I was the Discussion Director. I read the given section, thought of analysis questions and discussed them with my group. For the powerpoint I typed up all the questions onto my slide. I also led the class in a group discussion with my questions. Pg. 43-51
