Across
- 4. in the axon
- 7. electrical state of an axon following 'firing'
- 10. this stimulus.
- 11. tiny gap between the neurons
- 12. neurotransmitters in the ends of the cell; bind with the cell membrane at the terminal button, releasing their neurotransmitters
- 13. neurotransmitters return to the terminal vesicles, so that the cell can “fire” again
- 14. period following a nerves firing when it can not send a message at all
Down
- 1. period following the absoluterefractoryperiod, in which a nerve fires only in the presence of a very strong stimulus
- 2. nerves electrical signal
- 3. end of the axon of a nerve
- 5. in through the nodes of ranvier in a wave like pattern down the axon
- 6. in the environment (light bouncing off an object to the eye, chemicals from food on the tongue, pressure from touch on the skin, etc)
- 8. that bind to specific receptor sites on the NEXT cells dendrites
- 9. is housed in the soma
