Across
- 4. reflex where a electron is transferred from a sensory neuron to a motor neuron
- 6. causes the inside of the cell to be more positive compared to the outside
- 11. small temporary change in the electrical potential of a cell
- 12. this degrades signal conduction decreases
- 13. cell membranes are excited _____ gates close and Na+ gates open
- 15. causes waves of depolarisation, repolarisation and refractory periods
- 18. imbalance of electrical charges between neurons
- 19. causes the inside of the cell to be more negative compared to the outside
- 20. fundemental part of the nervous sytem
Down
- 1. autoimmune disease where the a immune system attacks _____
- 2. impulse conduction is slower and axon membrane is exposed
- 3. action potentials that send information from one neuron to another
- 5. that states that the response strenght of a cell depends on strenght of the stimulus
- 7. of depolarization a neuron has to reach in order for action potential to occur
- 8. During this period sodium-potassium pump is actively pumping out 3 Na+ per every 2 K+
- 9. when action potential it at its highest ____ gates close and K+ gates open
- 10. where information is trasmitted form neuron to another
- 14. that can affect the brain and spinal cord
- 16. nerve cell that conducts electrical pulses away from the cell
- 17. they travel very fast along neurons
