structure of neurons membrane potential ion channels
Question | Answer |
---|---|
cell body of neuron | soma |
receptive regions, makes connections with other neurons | dendrites |
tapered end of soma, creates action potential | axon hillock |
extends from soma to make a connection with another region | axon |
stores neurotransmitters in vesicles until action potential stimulates | axon terminals boutons |
neurons that transmit information toward the CNS | afferent neurons |
transmit information away from the CNS | efferent neurons |
neurons that create the connection and processing that occurs between sensory stimuli and action | interneurons |
