Part of the neuron that receives info from other neoruons

Question 29

what is the axon

Answer 29

part of the neuron which sends info to other neurons

Question 30

what is the Myelin

Answer 30

it is fatty substance which coats the axon (speeds up the neural impulse)

Question 31

what are Gilial cells

Answer 31

cells but they are not neurons, they produce myelin, hold neurons in place

Question 32

90% are what cells and what are cells are 10%

Answer 32

90% of cells are gilial cells, 10% of cells in brain are neurons

Question 33

the synapse is between what, and what does it do The space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron is called: Neurotransmitter Nerves Action Potential Synapse Cerebellum

Answer 33

it is between the axon and sends info, synapse

Question 34

what are nerves

Answer 34

bundles of mylein coated axons which travel throughout body

Question 35

resting potential is when a...

Answer 35

- state of neuron when not firing a neural impusle

Question 36

inside of neruon is a what change and outside of it is a what change

Answer 36

inside of a neuron is a negative change and outside of a neuron Is a positive change

Question 37

when the neuron is in its action potential, what does it do?

Answer 37

the electric impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and this impulse changes the cell’s charge from negative to positive

Question 38
