conduction velocity of nerves

Question 1

neuron

Answer 1

a cell that is specialized for the transmission of nervous system impulses

Question 2

action potentials

Answer 2

when the neuron is stimulated to pass electrical signals along there axons

Question 3

threshold stimulus

Answer 3

there is a certain point where the volts meet the point that they can evoke an action potential

Question 4

all or none principle of action potential

Answer 4

the neuron will always fire the same reaction once the stimulus has reached the threshold stimulus

Question 5

refractory period

Answer 5

the spot has just fired a neuron and the spot cannot fire another

Question 6

intracellular recording

Answer 6

can be used to display an action potential at one place on the axon of a neuron

Question 7

extracellular recording

Answer 7

recording happens on two different places on the outside of a neuron or nerve.

biphasic action potential

Question 8

nerves

Answer 8

bundles of neuron axons that can carry messages to a particular place in the body

Question 9

biphasic action potential

Answer 9

two phase– the first phase indicates that the electrical impulse is passing the first electrose– the second indicates it has passes the second

Question 10

compound action potential

Answer 10

trace that results from extracellular recording, because it is of so many individual neurons with different thresholds and stuff and just main point is so many
