State the function and location of axon.

Q: describe how myelination and axon diameter contributes to the increased speed of nerve impulse…

A: The information transmitted by neurons is named nerve impulses. Nerve impulses can roam very rapidly…

Q: Identify effects of chemicals (e.g. alcohol, caffeine, heroin) on synaptic transmission

A: The communication of a neuron with the target cell through a synapse is called synaptic…

Q: Explain how action potentials move down an axon.

A: An action potential is defined as a fast, transitory propagating sudden change in the resting…

Q: use arrows to identify: Axon Schwann cell (myelin sheath) Nucleus of Schwann cell neurofibril node…

A: The structural and functional units of nervous system which are capable of sending and receiving…

Q: State the components of the neurons.

A: The nervous system consists of neural tissues. Neurons, also known as nerve cells are the…

Q: Explain how a polarized axon responds to stimulation.

A: The “neurons” are the primary cells of the NS (nervous system). It has a nerve fiber, called an…

Q: Mention to the function of myelin sheath.

A: The insulating covering around the nerve cell is termed as the myelin sheath. In the central nervous…

Q: Describe how depolarization occurs along an unmyelinated neuronal axon

A: Propagation of action potential leads to the depolarization of neuron.

Q: Define inhibitory neuron

A: A neurotransmitter influences a neuron in one of three ways: excitatory, inhibitory or modulatory.…
