Q

What do different neurons do

A

Sensory - carry impulse from receptor to CNS
Motor - carry impulse from CNS to an effector organ
Interneurons - found in the CNS where interpretation of stimuli occurs. Provides link between sensory and motor neurons.

Q

In nerve bundles, how does stimuli affect response and why

A

Because of neurons with different thresholds, the strength of the impulse increases with stimuli

25
Process of synaptic transmission
Signal arrives axon terminal, calcium gate opens, calcium enters neuron and signals the neurotransmitter vesicles, the vesicles dock at the membrane to open neurotransmitter release, neurotransmitters are released via exocytosis, neurotransmitters bind to receptors, signal initiated in the post synaptic cell
26
Multicellular animals must maintain an internal environment and respond to an external environment. What do they use and what are the functions of them
Nervous system and endocrine system Nervous system Receive input, integrate input, respond to stimulus.
27
Skull, ... , .... , .... , brain
Dura matter, arachnoid matter (no blood vessels), , cerebrospinal fluid, Pia matter (blood vessels)
28
CNS
Brain and spinal cord
29
