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

Process of synaptic transmission

A

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
Q

Multicellular animals must maintain an internal environment and respond to an external environment. What do they use and what are the functions of them

A

Nervous system and endocrine system
Nervous system
Receive input, integrate input, respond to stimulus.
