Description

In this sub-unit of unit 6, we are ging to synthesize and explain the contents such as:



  • Neurons transmit electrical impulses

  • The myelination of nerve fibers allows for saltatory conduction

  • Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential

  • An action potential consists of depolarization and repolarization of the neuron

  • Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons
