Chapter 4, Problem 3TAHL
Summary Introduction
To write:
The pattern of postsynaptic potentials that is expected to be started as a reflex in the cell bodies of neurons regulating the EPSPs and IPSPs. The pattern of postsynaptic potentials that are voluntarily produced in the neurons that control the biceps and triceps despite the painful stimulus.
Introduction:
Synapse can be defined as a junction present between the two neurons. It comprises of a tiny gap through which the impulses pass by the diffusion of a neurotransmitter. The electrical or chemical signal is passed from one neuron to another neuron or to the target.
