- 5. An insulating sheath around an axon
- 7. Areas containing neuron cell bodies, and unmylinated axons have a dusky grey color
- 10. The membrane potential at which an action potential begins
- 11. A_____propagation occurs in unmylinated axons
- 12. A_____propagation occurs in mylinated axons
- 14. Outer surface of a Schwann cell that encircles an axon in the PNS
- 16. In___summation stimuli is applied at different locations, have a cumulative effect on the membrane potential
- 17. The depolarization of a postsynaptic membrane by a chemical neurotransmitter
Down
- 1. Cell bodies of neurons in the PNS are clustered in masses
- 4. The temporal or spatial addition of contractile force or neural stimuli
- 6. What potential effects are strongest at the site of stimulation but gets weaker with distance
- 8. In___summation stimuli occurs in rapid succesion at a single synapse that is active repeatedly
- 9. Also called leukocytes, myelinated axons of the CNS
- 13. Refractory period where action potentials can be generated
- 15. A hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane after the arrival of a neurotranmitter
