Summation

Question 1

What is summation?

Answer 1

= rapid build up of neurotransmitters in the synpase, to help generate an action potential
= there are 2 types: spatial or summation
= needed as some action potenrials dont generate enough neurotransmitters, to release another action potential

Question 2

What is temporal summation?

Answer 2

= one neuron releases nuerotransmitters repeatedlt after a short period of time, to add up to excesd threshold

Question 3

What is spatial summation?

Answer 3

= many different nuerons, collective trigger a new action potential, by combinf the nueotransmitters they release to exxceed extract value
