View Full Version : II-Nerve Signals and Their Transmission


  1. 3- A nerve signal begins as a change in the membrane potential
  2. 4- Nerve function depends on charge differences across neuron membranes
  3. 5- The action potential propagates itself along the axon
  4. 6- Visualizing the concept: neurons communicate at synapses
  5. 7- Chemical synapses enable complex information to be processed
  6. 8- A variety of small molecules function as neurotransmitters
  7. 9- Connection: Many drugs act at chemical synapses
  8. 10- Scientific Thinking: Published data are biased toward positive findings
