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 |
