Document Summary
Module # 6 nervous system (sections 6. 1 to 6. 54) Neurons: info transmitting and processing cells of the body and can be either. Bipolar neurons (two processes extending from the cell body, found in the. Retina), unipolar neurons (one process extending from the cells body, cell. Body is in the middle and off to one side, found in the peripheral nervous. System), or multipolar neurons (many branching dendrites and one axon) Gilal cells: provide necessary environment for neurons to function properly. They are the support cells of the brain and regulate nutrients and specific. Substances bw the blood and the brains interstitial space. Including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes: draw and label a chemical synapse, describe the events underlying synaptic transmission, presynaptic neurons synthesize neurotransmitters that are stored in. Synaptic vesicles: ap in presynaptic neuron depolarizes membrane and activates ca channel; Ca flow into the axon terminal: ca cause synaptic vesicles to fuse to the wall of synaptic terminal, causing.
