neurotransmission

Cards (9)

  • neurotransmission
    travel of impulse along neurone to another neurone
  • spinal cord
    made up of nerves
    connects brain to rest of nervous system
  • receptor cells
    detect stimuli change in environment
  • motor neurone
    nerve cell carry impulses from CNS to muscles
    dendrites join onto cell body, long axon
  • relay neurone
    never cell in CNS makes decisions
    dendrites join onto cell body, short axon
  • sensory neurone
    nerve cell carries impulses from sense organ to cns
    long axon and dendron
  • dendron
    nerve fibres transmit impulses to cell body
  • dendrites
    end branches of dendrons
    connect to receptor cell/neurone
  • dendron and axon
    long part of neurone
    carry impulse to cell -dendron
    impulse away -axon
