Neurotransmitters Flashcards
1
Q
What is summation
A
How the neurotransmitters add up to surpass the threshold value and reinitiate an active potential
2
Q
What are the two types of summation
A
Temporal and Spatial
3
Q
What is temporal summation
A
A single neurone releasing neurotransmitter in fast succession to exceed the threshold and reinitiate an action potentiap
4
Q
What is spatial summation
A
A number of different neurones releasing enough neurotransmitter at any one time to reach the threshold and reinitiate an action potential
