Front What is an Axon?
Back An extension of the cytoplasm, which transmits impulses away from the cell body to axon endings.
Front Define and give an example of Receptors
Back Sends an electrical impulse in response to a stimulus to the CNS along neurones(Photo/thermo/osmo/mechano/chemo)receptors
Front What happens during the refractory period?
Back The charge is lower than the resting potential (< -70mV).[Na+] / [K+] restored.Another impulse cannot be sent during the refractory period, ensuring unidirectional transmission transport.
