Across
- 4. Last approximately 200 msec.
- 8. An electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft to the cell body or one or more dendrites of a postsynaptic neuron.
- 10. Releases NE
- 11. Fibers carry action potentials at a speeds of up to 120 meters per second.
- 12. A depolarization caused by a neurotransmitter.
- 13. A series of tiny steps.
- 16. Following depolarization.
- 17. The membrane potential at which an action potential begins is called the
- 18. Smaller myelinated axons
- 19. Faster and uses less energy.
- 20. Unmeylinated
Down
- 1. What are passive channels that allow ions across the plasma membrane
- 2. Releases ACh
- 3. An increase in the negativity of the resting membrane potential.
- 5. Example of Active Transport
- 6. Last approximately 50 msec.
- 7. The cell undergoes a dramatic electrical change.
- 9. Hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane is
- 14. Transmit signals across a synapses from one neuron to another neuron.
- 15. A n electrical impulse is transmitted across a synaptic cleft by the release of a chemical neurotransmitter from the axon terminal of a presynaptic neuron.
