Q

What do motor neuron do

A

nerve cell, carry electrical impulse from CNS to muscle and glands (effectors), this can be rapid action or slow response

Q

what is a neurotransmitter

A

chemicals which transfer a chemical message of the impulse across the synapse or from neuron to effector organ

Q

what are the steps of neurotransmitter diffusing over a synapse

A

1) electrical only travels in one direction (cell body to axon terminal)
2) electrical impulse trigger nerve endings to release neurotransmitter
3) neurotransmitter diffuse over synapse
4) neurotransmitter binds with receptor molecules or next neuron and stimulates it to transmit the electrical impulse

Q

What is the reflex arc

A

1) pain receptor detects stimulus
2) electrical impulse towards CNS along sensory neuron to inter neuron
3) inter neuron relay protective response to the motor neuron
4) motor neuron send electrical impulse to correct muscle/effector
