| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Neurons communicate with one another via | action potentials |
| An action potential is | a sudden brief change in the distribution of charge on the two sides of a nerve cell membrane |
| A change in the movement of ions across the membrane caused by some stimuli will change the membrane potential, and a particular suite of changes in the membrane potential, called the | Action Potential |
| An action potential is caused by the flow of electrically charged particles (ions, such as Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca++) through special structures in the membrane, called | ion channels or ion pumps |
| A typical neuron has three main parts: | a cell body (soma), dendrites, and axons. |
| Multipolar neurons | which have one axon and multiple dendrites |
| Bipolar neurons | with a single axon and a single dendrite |
| Unipolar | which have no dendrites and possess a single axon. |
| The energy for this and other cellular activities is supplied by ATP (adenosine triphosphate) synthesized by | mitochondria. |
| A major function of the lymphatic system is to | drain body fluids and return them to the bloodstream |
