What is the function of the Axon? Transmit (send) signals to other neurons or cells in the body
Does the Myelin Sheath increase or decrease the speed of electrical conduction? Increase Decrease Neither, the conduction rate is equal along the axon
Hyperpolarization is referred to when the resting membrane potential is more.... Negative Positive sensitized desensitized
Cell types that are components of the nervous system are.. Glial cells and Neurons Neurons and Myoglia Myoglia and Glial cells Neurons and Neurite
Within a chemical synapse, the receptors.... bind to very specific ligands are only responsive to changes in voltage bind to a variety of different ligands are always degraded by enzymes in order disable them
The Axon hillock.... creates an action potential and transmits messages along axon
What is an Action Potential? when Neurones (nerve cells) communicate over long distances by generating and sending an electrical signal called a nerve impulse
There is more or less sodium outside a cell more less
There is more or less potassium outside a cell less more
What phase is a neuron at if it is inactive Resting Membrane Potential Threshold Refactory period Action potential

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
