Term
nerve structure
Definition
dendrites-collect info
cell body-maintain cell function
axons-carry info away from body
Term
nueroglial cells
Definition
support neurons
Schwann cells-surround neural cells with a fatty sheath
Term
resting potential charges
Definition
negative on inside and positive on outside
altereted by depolarization
Na in, K out
Term
chemical synapse
Definition
gap between axon of one cell and dendrite of another
Term
neurotransmitters
Definition
